FOUR FIRES LAST NIGHT
During the Flerceness of the Storm tn
Firemen Were Kept Busy

Last nights storm, which sprung up
so suddenly and with such gusto about
1880 O'Clock, appeared to be the signal
for a perfect outbreak Of fires, for
within sixty minutes after the storm
set in four alarms of fire had been
sounded, and each for some good rea-
son.
The first alarm was turned in at 1887
o'clock from box rs, Third and Red
ross streets, and the department re-
sponded promptly, regardless of the
rain and fierceness Of the wind. The
fire was located at the residence of Mrs.
Sarah James, No. 40S North Second
street, n was very slight in nature.
Upon the roof Of a dwelling next door
timers had left a fire pot, and the wind
blew live Goals out Of the pot on to the
root of the kitchen of Mrs. James res
ddence, setting it on fire. Assistant
Chief Monroe was near the scene when
h alarm sounded and by prompt &C
tion suppressed the flames before the
arrival of the department.
The other three alarms were turned
in during h next fouty minutes from
boxes 4S, Fifth n Orange streets; 10,
Eighth n Hanover streets, and 16,
Fourth and Brunswick streets. The
first was occaSioned by a blazing chin
ney at the residence of Rev. S. Men

tween Fifth and Sixth; tn other two

chen of a dwelling, No. 713 Red Cross
