SCARE AT THE GRAND HOTEL.
Fire i'm Miss QuigIey's Millinery store
the Cause Of 1t.

The millinery store at Il South Illinois
street, owned by Miss Anna Quigley, was
almost completely Quilted by fire early last
evening and a small scare was given the
guests at the Grand Hotel. The room is in
a building owned by the De Paw estate,
and the upper part of it is used by the
hotel. The alarm of fire was sounded from
Box 81 at $50 o'clock and when the depart
ment arrived the room was a mass of
flames. The stock was of a very inflam-
mable nature and was quickly consumed,
Notwithstanding the fact nat the fire was
extinguished with very little loss to the
building and almost none to the fixtures.
The ceiling was slightly burned and enough
smoke went through into the upper rooms
to frighten the guests who were in that part
OF the hotel. The majority of the guests,
however. knew nothing of the fire until 1t
was all over.
Miss Quigley has been in Chicago several
days buying new goods. No one about the
store last night knew how much stock was
carried. but it is understood that the winter
stock had run low and that the amount on
hand was not nearly as large as usual, as
ii is just between seasons in the millinery
business. The stock usually runS at about
5000 and is pretty well covered by insur-
ance. The origin of the fire is unknown.
Two women who are employed by Miss
Quigley left the store at 6 o'clock and it
was half an hour afterward that the. fire
was discovered.
