DESTROYED BY FIRE.
] ohm McGrath's Cottage Burned Sat.
urday Morning.

At 1890 Saturday morning, the resi-
dence of John McGrath, on Voorhis
avenue, caught fire In the roof from
defective Aue, and burned to the
ground.
The alarm of fire was sent in, and
the department responded promptly
the horses being hit ched to the hose
wagon and gotten to the scene of the
fire in an unusually short time. The
fire had gained too much Roadway
for the department to be of service.
A line of hose was run from
the chemical wagon and a stream
turned on to save the out-buildings.
The fire was beyond the water limit.
The house quickly burned to the
ground, only the furniture on the FIRST
floor being saved.
The loss is about $3.50. There was
$500 insurance on the house, held by
Agent Bushnell. The furniture was
not insured.
After the fire U. NJ. Bennett circu-
lated a petition and quickly secured
donations of about 5000 from DeLands
liberal citizens. This will help the
old gentleman in his emergency.
Mr.. McGrath is an old gentleman
suffering from throat trouble, of which
he has been victim for many years.
He spends his winters in DeLand and
the summers in New Jersey. The loss
is a severe one to him.
