thought TO have been the result Of spon-

Of ground stems stored In the shed To-
Gated east OF the factory proper. II was
first discovered by Mr.. T.. T. Pace. in
spector OF lights of the Richmond Rail-
way and Electric Company. who reported
the fire 10 Policemen Hughes and Vest.
These gentlemen then made an EFFORT TO
send In an alarm from Box II. which was
close nv. but this box was out OF order.
and they had to turn in a signal from
Station 81, at Twenty-nfth and Main
streets.
The flames had made great Roadway
before any of the apparatus arrived. and
after three engines had been at work for
some time. 1t was ascertained that the
water supply from the small, six-inch
main on Main street was totally made
auate. Another alarm was sent In, and
two more steamers responded. They were
sent direct to the dock for water. thus
n was necessary 90 carry the streams

building. The house was almost tele-

any Of us expected. To appreciate the
warmth OF their hospitality one mas 10

when we arrived at Richmond, at 9:l5
o'clock Sunday evening II seemed
az though the whole OF Richmond was
there TO open the gates of the city and

there. and as We marched TO the First

doors TO wave us a warm welcome. AT
the church DIR. Porter conducted services,

when the last hymn was sung, and We
received the minister's blessings.
THE church was not large enough to
hold us all. and when We started for our
hotel people gathered about US and claim
a hand-shake, and gave us few words
of welcome.
During our stay there the citizens per-
sisted I'm indulging us in every within

for our reception.
