FIRE YESTERDAY AFTERNOON.
Fire was discovered in the stable of
Mr.. Charles w. Cushing, "a Central ave-
nue. yesterday afternoon about 2.10, by
Mr.. A. L. Richardson, neignbor living
nearly opposite the Gushing house and
stable. The stable is q two story building
joined to the dwelling house which is a
two and half story structure. MIR. and
Mrs Cushing had gone to Long Island
when the fire was discovered.
Mr.. Cushing is O carpenter and uses the
| top part of his stable as work shop, and
ii was there that the fire broke out. Some
paint pals and q quantity of oil were set
ting in the sun near the window and the
cause of the fire was doubtless due to
spontaneous combustion. An alarm was
given from box Bland responded to
promptly by the several companies. Hose
3's men of Morrills corner had the first
stream ON the blaze. There was quite q
quantity of hay in the loft which was all
consumed. The fremen confined the fire
to the roof of the building, and as the
wind was blowing in an opposite direc-
ton from the house, that part of the
property was left free from fire or smoke.
Mr.. Cushing had not returned to his
home up to a late hour last evening but
his son was seen and he is Of the opinion
that the barn was insured to an amount
to satisfy the loss which will be about
$3.50
