NEARLY A TOTAL FIRE.

At S.l5 yesterday morning the fire
gongs sounded an alarm from box 81
at the corner of Cedar avenue and AL
der street, to summon assistance to the
fire which was discovered in the home
OF John Conrad on Cedar avenue near
River street The family was fast
asleep when the fire started and the
place was filled with smoke before any
of them awakened. The father Is old
and blind, and as the house is a large
structure and the sleeping apartments
being on the top floor there was a Sc
rious time getting him out safely. In
rescuing him the other members were
almost suffocated. There was not more
than 5000 damage done to the house,
as the response Of the fire companies
was prompt.
