on fire last evening, and left burning
by the inhabitants until the flames
threatened the safety of adjoining
property. still alarm was sent in to
the Liberty and Excelsior hose COM
panies who responded and extinguish-
ed the flames without much difficulty
The house was untenanted, the last
tenant being Patrick Flannery, who
vacated the property some two weeks

played havoc with the structure, di-
vesting it of anything that was valu-
able and leaving it in a delapidated
