SMALL FIRE, MUCH DAMAGE.
Tenants in the Rines Building Forced
to Move.

Ihe Cause of the Fire Mystery and
Likely to Remain So,
At O'Clock last evening. Miss Towle,
VINO mas rooms in the Rines building on
Congress street near Oak, noticed that
there was smell of smoke. and almost
at the same time one of the employees of
the firm of G. S. Woolworth & Co., who
occupy the large store on the ground floor
discovered fire breaking through q
window in the portion of the building
occupied by Cressey, Jones & Allen, as
store room for pianos and musical
goods. An alarm was given and the fire.
men, under the direction of Chief Jack
son. soon had the fire under control. 1t
was extremely hot while it lasted, and
the building was wet down and consider
able damage was done.
The cause of the fire is, and is likely to
remain mystery. 1t was in the second
and fourth stories at the same time, but
probably started in the room occupied by
Cressey, Jones & Allen. Chief jackson
suggested that the cause was oil rags,
and another theory quickly taken out of
the case was that il was in some way
caused by the steam pipes, but Mr.. j.
Henry Rines, and Mr.. G. S. Woolworth,
who made an examination Of the system
foundIthat there was not pound of
pressure on at the time. Cressey, Jones
& Allen had some men at work in the
room during the afternoon and thought
it possible that they might have been
smoking.
Mr.. Rines at first thought that $500
might cover the loss to the building, but
later after consulting with carpenter,
decided that $2500, would probably be
nearer the mark. He is insured as
follows: Franklin of Philadelphia, $500;
Holyoke Mutual, $4,000; Springfield. $4,000;
Traders and Mechanics, $250O.
Cressey, Jones & Allen estimate their
loss at from $500 to $500, with no insur-
ance. The occupants of all the rooms in
the building were more or less damaged
by somke or water or both.
The back room of Rosenburg Bros, in
ths same building was we'll wet down,
and the ceiling of the main store was
damage considerable, water having come
through.
This damage will probably be quite
large, but cannot be ascertained until a
thorough examination is made Of the
stock. They carry stock of about s1O,-
600, so Mr.. Samuel Kosenburg said, and
have between $4,000 and $4,000 insurance.
They will be fully protected.
Mr. Woolworth said that there was a
good deal of water in the basement of his
store, and that more was coming in. He
is insured and his loss will be small. ssI
think that $500 will cover oar loss," he
said.

YOUNG ELDER DEAD.
A Particularly Sad Ending to a Bright
Young Life.

Young Edwin Elder, who attem pied
suicide at the Preble House, Wednesday
evening, died at the Maine General Hos
pital shortly after 8 o'clock yesterday
morning. Coroner Perry was called, but
considered an Inquest unnecessary.
Mr.. William E. Elder. the father of the
unfortunate young man. arrived in this
city on the noon train yesterday. He was
met at the station by Mr.. J. J. Pooler,
whose wife is a cousin of the young man
and E. Z. Burrowes of West Newton,
Mass. Mr.. Elder said that his ..son'si ca
reer at Annapolis was highly creditable
to him. When he graduated he was class
commissary, giving him the rank of No.
z in the class He served two years on
the q. S. 8. Bennington, but he could
not rema n in the navy because the med
ical examination showed that he possess
ed weak heart. After that the young
man seemed to take no pleasure
in life. He had tried to obtain positions
with the Cramps and the Newport News
ship dinglcouoerns, and had beenEdeep-
ly disappointed at his failure to secure
position. He entered the Institute of
Technology to pefsct himself in special
branch of study, intending to do three
years work in two. This work required
study of German. It is proablbe that
his overwork joined to his disappoint-
ment as to the navy, proved too much for
his brain. His mother and sisters are
heartbroken over the event. The remains
were forwarded at once to Boston.
