 Fire broke out in the residence of Samuel F. Tilson at Sandy Hook, about 5. 40 a. m., Wednesday. It was discovered by James Keane, who saw smoke coming through the roof. An investigation showed that the house was on fire near the chimney, between the second story wall and the garret floor. Thomas F. Rrew, who was. .driv- ing by on hls way to work, brought the word into Sandy Hook, and half dozen men from Taylor's hotel, headed by Fire Department Chief John Day ton of the Pootatuck brigade, hastened to the scene. Hard work saved the house, although for a time it looked as though it was doomed tc destruction. Nearly all the furniture was removed from the house. The damage to the house is quite heavy; as the walls were all thoroughly soaked with water.
