Some Letters Twenty-four Hours.

George Davidson. a letter carrier. was sort
ing mail in Branch Post ONCE ID. on the first
floor OF the three-story building AZ 225 and
227 Third avenue. about o'clock last night
when he smeed smoke. and going down
stairs found the basement in flames. He turned
in an alarm md Chief Clerk Cans. who
vas also AT work in the basement. called
on the General rost ONCE and Branch
Station at Fifth avenue and Thirteenth
street by telephone for help In getting the mail
out Yesterday being holiday there was not
large amount Of mail In the building but
there was enough TO cause concern. and In
short time two big mail vans from the General
Post OfIlce and four or Ave men from the
branch station appeared. The nrst-class natl
was hastily dumped into leathern sacks and
these were sousei with water. The sacks and
the other mail were then dumpod into one OF
the vans and taken down to the Post Ofllcc.
In the meantime the flremcn had arrived.
The fire was confined To the basement. although
IL burned through the floor In several places.
One ri the hig machines operating the COM
pressed air mail tubes was directly over where
tn" fire was. and as Il weighed ten tons the
fremen feared ut first that IL would fall
through the weakened floor but this did not
happen. The fire did about $1,000 damage to
the building. tha damage in the branch post

clerks said that III" lire would cause about
twenty-;our hours delay in the mails.
