BROOKLYN NEWS.
PECULIAR FIRE Ar BAY RIDGE.
Three Families Escaped with
Their Lives, Saving Nothing.
Two Frame Buildings Destroyed
and Incendiarism Suspected.

Suspicious circumstances were brought
to light this morning in connection
with a fire which occurred Saturday
night and destroyed two frame dwell
ings on Sixty-sixth street, near Elev-
enth avenue, Bay Ridge, which appear
to call for an investigation.
The buildings were two story and
basement frame structures, owned by
Andrew Overstay. They were occupied
by three families, who barely escaped
saving absolutely nothing.
The fire was discovered shortly after
I o'clock. when clouds of smoke were
seen issuing from the building nearest
Eleventh avenue. A man who was pass
ing at the time broke open the door
leading to the basement, and found
flames In a closet He tried, unsuccess-
fully. to extinguish the fire, but gave an
alarm. Then he ran to the headquarters
| of the Bay Ridge Fire Department and
called the firemen.
When they reached the place they
| found there was no supply of water. eX-
cept from a cistern in the back yard.
| Meanwhile. the building adjoining had
caught fire and the flames had reached
| the roof. In spite of the efforts to save
the structures, both were totally de-
The buildings were valued at 5000
each. John Peel, who occupied part OF
the house where the fire started, and
Olof Benson and John Ellenberg. who
| lived next door, each lost about 500
worth Of furniture and clothing.
The room in which the blaze was dis
covered has been unoccupied for two
months People living in the vicinity are
mystified over the origin, of the fire, anc
| some of them express the opinion thai
| the house was set on fire.
| Ellenberg, when seen by an Evening
| World reporter this morning, said: ~

| think the police ought to investigate thi.
fire. My wife tells me that she saw {
man go in and out of the buildint
