most destructive fire in the history eff

before o'clock smoke was seen issuing
from the Waldr0n block, fine iour-s.ory
brick strnctare, sitasied st the corner of
Twelfth street and Mckenzie avenue. and
soon sftersard flames broke out CT the
windows in the rear of the top story,
The whole interior of the two upper s,o-
ries, which were tenantless, was soon one
mass of raging flames. corner room on
the first door was occupied by the Bank of
Fairhaven, of which Mr.. Waldron
is proprietor. Two store rooms
Were occupied by 4. c. Cissna's
department store. while |. n. Maxweli's
Law Offices and Mr.. wadron's private
rooms occupied about half the second
story. The third story, formerly q large
hall. had recently been partitioned for
office rooms and a fourth story added.
These two stories were unfinished, had not
been piastered and contained considerable
building refuse, in which il is supposed
the fire was started. There had been fire
built on the third floor today to dry out
some newiy-puttied sash.
The building cost So, 900. as nearly as can
be aseertained tonight There was 81, 100
insurance on il. $4,000 of which Was re-
newed TWO weeks ago. and $500 would
have expired tomorrow. The furniture
was insured for 5000. and Cissna carried
5000 on his stock. most Of which was re-
moved from the building. "a was also
Maxweli's law library. The management
of the fire was bad. and the department
labored under disadvantage from rotten
hose. The fire is now well under control.
and will probably be prevented from reach

completely gutted and the roof has fallen
in. The names of tho companies holding
risks cannot be ascertained tonight.
