A BLAZE ON BRIGGS STREET.
The Loss to Thomas Leonard's House
Was About S7OO.

g At twenty minutes to five o'clock yes
terday afternoon an alarm was sounded
from box 50 at the corner of Salem and
School streets. This was for fire in the
two story wooden house numbered twelve
on Briggs street, owned by Thomas
Leonard and occupied by Michael Malta
and Patrick McQuade.
The fire started around the chimney on
the second floor and quickly spread
throughout the entire upper story. In
stead of pulling in an alarm in the first
place the inmates of the house tried to
extinguish the blaze themselves and
when an alarm was finally sounded the
fire had gained considerable Roadway. On
the arrival of the department two
hydrant streams were set to work and
after long fight the blaze was extin-
guished. During the fire Melvin Fields OF
engine three was overcome by smoke and
heat in the upper story of the building
and was brought out onto the street in a
fainting condition. He quickly recovered
and went back to work again.
The house was soaked from cellar to
attic and the occupants will suffer con-
siderable loss to furniture and household
effects, but just how much it could not
be ascertained yesterday. Mr.. Leonard
thinks that his insurance will about cover
the loss to the building, which was
damaged about 500 by the fire and water.
