THE RAvAGlNG FLAMES.


Destroy % 500 Worth Of Fourth Avenae
Property Early This Morning.
Fire early this morning destroyed
property on Fourth avenue to the ex-
tent of q. 500. The flames are sup
posed to have had their origin in the
tempering room of Donaldson's saw
foundry between Fifteenth and Six
teenth streets, the furnace fire hav-
ing ignited the oils used in this de-
partment, and quickly spread to
adjoining property. The residence
of Christian Einfeldt, situated in-
mediately west of the tempering
room was totally destroyed together
with most of the furniture, as was
also the home of James Thompson
fronting the original, the residence of
K. Trenaman on the east being
somewhat scorched. while the
outbuildings were totally RACED.
The saving Of the Trenaman house
and Collins Bros. carpenter shop,
the latter across the alley at the
rear, was fortunate. both being
severely scorched and Rugged by the
flames unit overcome. 81
Peculiar Circumstances.
The circumstances were probably
the most peculiar of any fire since the
organization of the paid fire depart
ment. with the facilities possessed
for prompt and efficient duty, and
the close proximity of the scene OF
destruction to the Central engine
house and the police station, at both
of which places men are supposed
at all times to be on duty. The fire
seems to have spent most of its de.
structive force before the alarm was
given. and the strange part of the
fire is, that some of the city EN-
ploy cs did not make the discovery
earlier. The circumstances, in any
event, warrant an investigation.
The fire was first discovered about
2:15 by James Maucker, who awak.
ened the occupants of the house, in
time to save some of their furniture
The Loss and Insurance.
The total damage will aggregate il
the neighborhood of g., 500, of which
Donaldson sustains $1,000, Enfield
about $1,000. Trenaman $215, an,
the balance on the Thompson prop
erty. The Donaldson temperins
foundry isinsured for $500. and Tren
naman's property $1,000 in Ralph
Haverstick's agency. There was NJ
insurance on the Thompson prop
| erty.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 25.-Representative

senate in conference with Senators Blanch-
