Las Vegas, n. NJ, Aug. 2O.-The fire
alarm sounded last night about 1880.
and brought the company to the Ell
dorado hotel to %extinguish a blaze in
the rooms of Mr.. and Mrs. f. Barring,
the proprietors of the hotel. The fire
the loss of a dresser. gold watch, pearl
opera glasses and some clothing, little
damage was done. The fire was a pc
culiar one, inasmuch as it evidently
originated in the dresser in the room,
it being entirely consumed. The room
in other places was scorched badly
and things wet by the stream of water,
but the only damage outside Of this
room was to screens and windows in
ether parts of the building. How the
fire originated is a mystery. Mrs. Bar
ling thinks some one had been rifiing
the drawers and dropped a match in
them, setting them on fire. 1t may also
have been some matches in the drawer
which, in some way, became ignited.
The insurance of $ 1000 on the furni-
ture and personal effects will more
than cover, by considerable, the dam
age done.
