ROBERT A. JOHNSON BURNED OUT
HIS HOME. ART OBJECTS, RUGS AND STAT
UARY AT MOUNT ST. VINCENT
DESTROYED.

Tho large tbreA story stone house that overlooked
the Hudson from the top OF the high hill at Mount
ST. Vincent was destroyed by fire early yesterday.
Robert A. Johnson, the occupant, escaped by slo-
ing down a surveyors chain from second story
window to the OF stormdoor. In leaping TO
the ground he wrenched his back and had to creep
on his hands and knees to neighbours house
The high winds gathered force on the river and
syept the flames from the doors and windows of
the burning house. carrying the sparks dangerously
far. Just the fire was breaking out train was
rushing north from Riverdale. The engineer blew
the whistle all the way TO Mount ST. Vincent. ana
this aroused the neghborhood.
Mr.. Johnson lighted open fire in the hall on the
ground floor late Sunday afternoon AS the cold
bitter he used plenty Of wood. Then he went
upstairs to the sitting room, made a fire IN the
CRATE and stretched himself out two chairs and
fell asleep. When ne awoke at a m. yesterday
smoke pouring into the room, and the neat was
great He found the halls ablaze and picking up
the surveyors chain he made end secure in the
room and descended cutting his hands badly, and
reached the covering of a stormdoor ten feet from
the ground. Mr. Johnson has lumbago, and the
leap TO the ground wrenched his back. He crept
to the house of John Meehan, gardener for Edmund
T. Randolph. about three hundred yards distant.
Before he got there, however. he became uncon-
scious and lay in the road for time. When he
reached the house Mr.. Meehan heard him. and took
him in.
1t took the fremen a long time to reach the
fire after alarm given, and then only one
engine of three succeeded in getting to the top
of the hill The wind scattered large pieces or
burning wood hundreds of yards to the northeast
of the doomed house, log was ignited close TO
the barn, big building, some distance away, and
Thomas Cuthbert's house, beyond the brow of the
hill in danger also.
The firemen could make no Roadway against the
wind and the flames and by O'Clock there was
left standing only the walls.
1t is said that Mr. Johnson spent more than
100000 building the house. He brought work
from Europe to carve the woodwork and dec
crate the interior. The building contained many
valuable pieces of statuary, rugs and art objects,
but the value Of the furnishings at the time OF
the fire is unknown. Mr. Johnson, who is bache-
lor. and has been living alone for the last year,
did not the building. which had become the
property of the Central Trust Company. The in
surance S25.UO0 which II is thought, Will
nearly cover the loss-the contents not considered
Mr. Johnson's injuries not severe. He was
formerly member of the clothing firm of Johnson
Brothers. formerly at Twenty-secOnd-st. and
Broadway, but he retired. and had recently been
interested in real estate
