FIRE IN COMMISSION HOUSE.
Firm of E. K. Andrews & Co. Suffers
Small Damage.

The commission house Of C. K. Andrews
& Co., No. 905 Louisiana avenue, was dam
aged by fire to the extent of about $500
last night. The fire was discovered about
II O'Clock by a pedestrian passing the build
ing. An cutlery was made and several
alarms were turned in about the same
time Boxes 152, 1853 and 100 were pulled
and in addition to these notifications
special policeman went to No. IA engine
house and personally gave the alarm.
When the firemen reached the building
there was a bright blaze in the rear end of
the store, where empty boxes and barrels
were piled. A flood of water was turned
on the flames and they were subdued be-
fore they gained Roadway.
The burning of the insulation from the
electric wires caused some uneasiness until
the current was shut off. What caused the
fire is not known. The store had been
closed since Saturday night, and there was
no fire in any part of the building. 1t is
thought that $500 will repair the building.
The stock was only slightly damaged

unique entertainments, treated itself to a
picnic last Saturday, going to Great Falls
by way of the canal and enjoying coun-

silver lining to the clouds.
The upward trip was enlivened by the
strains of a street piano, played by an
Italian, and the enjoyment Of the occasion
was further contributed to by the efforts
of two expert mixers of summer drinks.
