A Slight Blaze.

Fire was discovered In the attic of the
Second National Bank building In the
end next Water street, Saturday after
noon, about $50 o'clock. The building
Ia heated by steam and lighted by cleo
tricity. The chimneys are double, built
but little over year ago, and no wood
fire has been used In the building, there
fore the only explanation given is that
the fire came from the electric light
wires. It was first discovered by G.. W.
Cover, ESQ.,, who has his law offices IN
the building and the first indications
were swapping and a discoloration by
heat of the steel ceiling In a corner of
the room, directly under where the cleo
trio wires enter the building. The cleo
trio current was not on at the time
and the suppositon is that an cleo
trio light wire had In some way become
surcharged by coming in contact with
the trolley wire of the Somerset Traction
Company and thus caused the Ignition.
At the time of the freshet the electric
light wires and the power wires were dis
abed and much dlsarranged and 1t is
not to be wondered at that they
should touch. Workmen have been EN-.
ployed constantly to get the wires
Strengthened out and have succeeded re-
markably well.
The fire department responded with
promptness, the roof was scaled, holes
cut In 1t and sufficient water soon
extingushed the small blaze. The
damage aside from the holes cut Ia the
roof to get at the fire was mostly from
water, and, because of there being two
roofs to the building, the original roof
being OF boards and shingles and new
one of timber and tin having been put
on without removing the old one, the
water did not penetrate much through
to the ceiling of either the first or sec
ond stories. Mr.. Covers valuable law
library was in patent shelves that could
be removed In sections and these sections
containing the volumes were carried out
and across the street, but were soon re-
turned to their places with little injury.
Saturday afternoon was bitterly cold
one but the firemen got to work with
ladders, hose, hydrant, steamer and a
chemical extinguisher in short order and
with excellent results.
