YESTERDAYS FIRE.
Loss Will Probably Reach $4,000.
1T Was Due To The Work OF
The Fireman That The Building
Was Saved.

It was only the prompt and efficient
work of the fire department yesterday
afternoon that prevented q big blaze at
Momsen & Thorne's and tremendous
loss to the owners.
The proprietors of the store stated
this morning that they desired to ex-
press thorough the medium of the
ner in which the department. handled
the fire and extinguished 1t, saving
them from greater loss. ~
The loss amounts to between five and
six thousand dollars, and is chiefly on
account of sheet metal damaged by
water. The sheet metal was stored in
the basement and was inundated.
The loss to the building will not ex-
coed S25.
The stock was insured with II. B.
Stevens for $1,000 in the following COM
panies:
Fireman's fund, $500: Insurance
company of North America, $4,000;
Delaware Insurance company, $4,000.
He has wired for an adjuster who
will arrive within the next few days
and then the loss will be settled.
The building was Insured with A. p.
Coles, T. II. Conklin, and A. M.
Loomis, who consider themselves for
tuuate in escaping with so slight q
loss.
The origin of the fire Is still q mys-
terry, although Messrs. Momsen and
Thorpe state that in their opinion it
was due to the fact that recently q
large quantity of et DDS packed in straw
had been opened in the basement and
that gas jet is kept burning there all
day.
In their opinion q wisp of straw was
blown over the gas jet and became
ignited, falling to the pile OF
oakum.
81. B Stevens stated this morning
that the actual loss could not be closely
estimated at present, because the
damaged stock is for sale and It is now
impossible to say what 1t will bring.
He says the fireman performed heroic
work and it is owing to them that the
loss was not greater.
Mr.. Stevens-a volunteer fireman
himself-says that the Ell Paso depart
ment is badly in need of q man to en-
ter dark cellars. In other cities q man
clad in an especially prepared costu me
goes into dark places with an electric
light and directs the movements Of the
firemen SO that they are informed ex-
actly where TO throw the water. Mr..
Stevens advocates q similar institution
in this city.

La Grippe Successfully Treated.

81 have just recovered from the
second attack of Ia grippe this year,
says Mr.. Jas. A. Jones, publisher Of the
Leader, Mexia, Texas. "In the latter
case 1 used Chamb erlsin's Cough Re-
medy, and 1 think with considerable
success, only being in bed q little
over two days against ten days for the
former attack. The second attack I
am satisfied would have been equally
as bad az the first but for the use of
this remedy as had to 60 to bed in
about six hours aft'r being struck
with it. while in the first case was
able to attend to business about two
days before getting down." For sale
