FIRE ON EYNON STREET.

The large frame dwelling house on
Eynon street, occupied by the families
of Alex. Phillips and Evan Jones. was
completely destroyed by fire at 10
o'clock Saturday night. and the prop
critics of Mrs. Charles Hadley and Mrs
John Morgan adjoining were badly
damaged. A large barn and several
outbuildings in the rear of the Phil
lips-Jones property were also de-
stroyed.
The fire was caused by the overturn-
ing of lamp, while the occupants OF
the house We're absent. From what
could be learned, a dog kept in the
house was responsible for the confa-
grafton. The supposition is that the
animal pulled the table cloth and upset
the lamp. The animal was burned to
death Before the firemen reached the
scene. the building was a seethng mass
of flames, and their efforts were mainly
directed to saving the adjoining prop
erty
The first alarm brought out the CO.
lumbias. Frankllns and Eagles. and the
Hooks and Centurys responded to a
second alarm. Owing to a lack of water
pressure the firemen were greatly han
dicapped at the outset. The damages
to the Hadley and Morgan properties
will amount TO about $500. Messrs.
Phillips and Jones estimate their loss
at about $4,000, which is partly covered
by insurance. The house was built
many years ago by the late jeremiah
Hawker and was a large, roomy struc-
turp.
