until the store was opened at the usual
early hour this morning by one OF the
clerks. AS soon as he opened the door ne
discovered the odor of burning clothing
and finally located the fire on the second
floor OF the store amidst the piles OF
overcoats which had been laid aside for
the season. BY the prompt use of buckets
of water the fire was eXtinguished. a
great many overcOats, however, had been
ruined. and n great deal OF other stock
