FIRE IN A PAPER STORE.
Henry Il. Reh Sustains IA $3,5OO Loss
on nmildinE md Contents.

on Duilding and Contents.
The home and place of business of Hen
ry F. Reh, paperhanger, at 800 Twelfth
Street northwest, was partly destroyed by
fire at 9:l5 o'clock last night. The fire
originated, it is thought, from an over
heated stove in the kitchen, which occu-
pies the rear room on the ground floor of
the premises. The estimated damage is
given as s., 900 to the stock OF wall paper,
etc, stored in the house, and $500 to the
building. The loss is fully covered by in
surance. Two horses, the property of Mr..
Reh, were rescued from a stable adjoin-
ing the kitchen by Policemen Samson,
Schuyler and Kilmartin, OF the First pre-
cinct. Mr.. Reh owns the property
When the fire was discovered Mr.. Reh
and his family were in the front portion OF
the house. three-story brick structure.
The first intimation they had that flames
were raging in the rear OF the house was
when James Williamson, who is employed
by Mr.. Reh, rushed from the house calling
fire. He went to No. / Chemical Engine
house, from where an alarm was turned
in. Engine Companies No. l, 2. &, II, and
chemical engine No. l, responded together
with trucks A and c. The flames had then
gained considerable headway, and the lower
rear portion of the house was enveloped.
1t was necessary to cut away portion
of the second floor in the rear of the build
ing in order to get at the flames, but when
this was done the matter of fighting the
fire was made easy.
An examination OF the premises showed
that the greatest damage done by the fire
was in the kitchen, where the blaze is
supposed to have originated. a number
of household articles were stored there, and
these were entirely destroyed. In the room
above the kitchen quantity of wall paper
and decorative matter was stored. This
was also damaged by fire, but the greatest
loss resulted from the water which it was
found necessary to throw upon it. The
stable adjoining the kitchen was also dam
aged, but the loss is slight.

Yesterdays stock market was one of the
Quietest and least interesting recently wit

of buying orders, and under the influence
of professional selling in the morning
hours, and later these losses were regain
ed, but there was little change in the level
except in one CT two securities. The news
of the day was meagre and negative in
tone as far as 1t went The call money
rate was not run up at any time, and the
Brooklyn Rapid Transit situation was in
better condition and in fact had no bad
features The earnings of ST. Paul for the
second week of July made a fine showing,
