A BLAZE on THE WATERS ROAD.
i. II. MiIIer's House and Furniture
Total Loss.


Total Loss.
F. H Millers house on Fifth street,
near the Waters road was totally de-
stroyed by fire last night, with all the
contents.
The fire broke out shortly before .
o'clock. There was no one in the house,
Mr.. Miller being a motorman on the Elec-
trio railway, and running on the line in
side the city. Mrs. Miller was some dis
lance away at a small store which she
keeps on the Waters road.
The house was in flames when the fire
was discovered and burned rapidly. IL
made a great illumination, and hundreds
of people who saw il from the city thought
there was large contigration in progress
in the southeastern section. A fire alarm
was turned in from box No III al Haber-
sham and Third streets, half a mile away,
TO which the fire department in the south
ern section responded. The engines got
as far as Lovers Lane, when it was seen
that the fire was outside of the city
proper, and as there was no water there,
no service could have been rendered. The
house was insured for $500, and the furni-
ture for the same amount with w. T.
