A STILL ALARM.
Store Open Evenings.

At 3:30 yesterday afternoon the com- bination chemical and hose cart from No. los house was called to house at NO. 353 Grand avenue, where it was thought there was raging fire, but an Investigation showed that the occupants were mistaken. Some member of the family of Mrs. Julia Hynes, living on the second floor had placed a pot of meat on the fire to boil for supper. They then went away. The water boiled dry and the meat took fire. The smoke from the same filled the whole house and the several other residents became alarmed in consequence. A Chinaman lived on the first floor and the family of w. Wolfsonon the third floor. The chemical engine at No. 1O's house is just the thing for an emergency such as yesterday and the commissioners certainly did not make mistake when they purchased it.
