Fire threatened to destroy the twelve
story skyscraper known as the j. Mon.

morning. The tenants OF the big struo-
ture fed from the building, but many
had TO grope their a down the stair
ways through the smoke that filled tho
halls.
The fire started In the basement on the
east side of the building under the
rooms coupled by a clothing and tailor

300 pounds was first to notice the smoke
coming from the basement windows. He
ran az fast as he could to the corner,
where he sent in the first alarm. Al
the same time an alarm was sent In by
an automatic ~contrivance.
The smoke soon found its way up the
alrshaft, and in a few minutes the en-
tire building was filled with smoke. Tho
hremen of the first companies to arrive
sent in a second alarm, inc finally To-
Gated the base of the fire in the cellar.
Several hydrants were found to be
frozen, and before the streams could be

The basement is used as a store-room
by M.Lambert, the cloth!er, and he said
that he had a stock OF wooliens for tall.
oring valued at $780, 900 there. All OF
this was damaged by fire and water,
and he estimated that half OF the
stock would be lost. The fire was soon
gotten under control.

The women were In terror, and their
cries could be heard by the superinten-
