stubborn Blaze at Nathan NJ. Bakers
Carpet Works, No. 400 Orange Street.
Fire broke out In the Electric Carpet
Works, conducted by Nathan NJ. Baker, in
the second story Of the building No. 409
Orange street, about 7.45 O'Clock yester
day. " was a very stubborn FIRE, being IN
the cotton and mattress material, but 1t was
put out by the firemen before it did any
material damage to the building.
MIR. Baker and two employees were at work
in the rear of the second floor about 80 feet
from the street, when the blaze was
noticed by them and they rushed from the
building. IL Is said thHt while some cotton
was being run through picker there was
a sound like an explosion. and that this was
tie start of the fire. So quickly did the men
leave the room that one OF them left his
coat behind. Mr.. Baker told q. o, Schiller
that the place was on lire and SCHUYLER tele-
phoned for the Washington Chemical engine
and later sent in an alarm from box No.
80, at Sixth and Tetnall streets.
City Councilman George A. Willis uses the
first floor of No. 40j Shipleg street as a
livery stable and his residence Is next door,
No. All. The fire on the second floor was
uncomfortably close to the Stable and little
time was lost in taking the 80 odd head of
horses from the building. The animals be-
haved well under the excitement. Some
farmers who had put up their horses there
returned to see If the fire was doing their
stock harm and were glad to lind that their
horses were snfe.
Meanwhile lot of stuff from the carpet
works had been dumped from the second
story front window and carried to safe
place. One man carried a telephone iustru-
ment from the building, returning it after
the fire was out.
The firemen found It a mean place for q
blaze, After getting upstairs they had to
pass along narrow hall around MIR. Willis
haymow to the rear room. where The trouble
was, ana for some time the smoke prevented
them from locating the fire. 1t was re.
marked that had the FIRE occurred at night
the whole block would have gone.
The building is owned by Samuel Speak
man, who sustains practically no loss, MIR.
Willis loss from water may reach $50, and
is covered by insurance in the Royal.
Bakers stock was insured through the Var
Trump agency; the loss on it may be few
hundred dollars.
