An Early Morning Blaze on Market
Street, Near Powell.

A fire which caused much damage to
the Easements of the business-houses on
the first part of the ten-hundred block
of Market street occurred about o'clock
this morning. 1t is supposed to have been
caused by the short circuiting of wires
under the tailor-shop of A. Jacobs at 1910
to the sudden extinguisbing tS 1IH of the eIec-
trio lights in the saloon of Kelly & Bren-
nan. at 10l6 Market, which caused one
of the proprietors, Harry Brennan, to
make an investigation, resulting in the
location of the blaze
An alarm was rung in from box 47 and
when the fire department arrived clouds
of smoke were issuing from many of the
stores. Much damage was caused by
smoke and water, and the department
worked nearly one hour before the fire
was entirely extinguished.
