enjoying the music and dancing.
1t was about llalf-past ten when the
alarm was given. The fire originated
from a gasoline stove which was used to
heat the banana room of the Wholesale

Ginns an Italian, situated on tie South.

seemed to revive him
During the excitement young man
descended into the cellar uld came out
with a large bunch of bananas, but he
was soon compelled to relln4ulsn the
fruit to an officer, who barred his pro-
gress.
The Washington Fire Company used
their chemical engine to good advantage
and the fire was soon apparently ex-
tinguishcd, but an officer descended
into the cellar and discovered that
the fire was still smoudering.
The "Washie" boys, who had by this
time nearly coled the hose, were COM
Rlled to uncoiI it again and run it into
the cellar.
The Delaware Fire Company was on
hand with their ladders, but they were
not needed.
After the fire was completely extin-
guished the "Washie' boys returned to
their pleasure which had been so alb
ruptly interrupted, and spent the rest OF
the evening in German Hall.
The damage was very slight and will
not amount to over $50. 1t was not COW
