Five Story Building Badly Damaged
by Fire.

New York. Dec.12.-A five story build
ing No. 1873 Broadway, occupied by the
Dennison Manufacturing company, was
badly damaged by fire which started
early this morning and which burned
for some hours. The fire department
estimated the loss on building and con-
tents at $4,000. The insurance was
about two-thirds of that sum. Several
thousand dollars worth of stock in
building next door occupied by the
Hegeman Drug corporation, was de-
stroyed. The fire started on the third
floor in the rear of the Dennison build
ing at a point where it was difficult for
the f1remen to work. For time it
seemed as though the whole block on
the east side of Broadway from John to
Fulton streets would be enveloped in
flames
