THE BAILEY
BUILDING
TAKES FIRE
Steel Construction Saves the Block
From Much Damage

The Bailey building at Second
avenue and Cherry street had a
narrow escape from being badly
burned this morning The steel
lathes used IN the construction Of
the building probably saved much
damage
just when the fire started cannot
positively be said Some time dur
Ing the night two wires became
crossed IN the wall between the Of
flee Of VIM. Parmaie lee on the Fourth
floor and the hall
At O'Clock this morning one Of
the men In the Pinkerton Detective
agency office detected the smoke.
An alarm was sent in and the fire
apparatus turned out for It's third
run during the night. Holes we've
chopped through the ceiling 10 the
fifth floor and others IN the fourth
floor TO the one below.
After a chemical stream had been
in operation for a few moments abe
fire was out. From the appearance
Of the wood on the inside Of the
walls, II " evident that the fire must
have burned for some time, az the
inside beams are all burned away.
The damage IL comparatively
large, as the woodwork is Of solid
oak. Probably 1900 viii cover the
