 The building is n lare& four story struo- turc surrounded by Il labyrinth of small streets. Before the flremcn had actually gotten to work on tho cracker company's building the flames had spread to the soap and chemical manufactory of William Droydoppel. adjoining on the south. and few moments later eight small dwelling houses on Augusta place, an alley to the south, were burning There were in all about 16 families in these houses, but all were removed safely.
