YESTERDAYS FIRE,
About $500 Damage to Mill Block on
Northern Avenue.

An alarm from box 80, on Northern
avenue, near the Edwards mills, called
out the fire department at 2.24, yester-
day afternoon. The alarm was due to
the discovery of a brisk blaze in the
apartments of Mrs. Mary King, in the
tenement house owned by the Edwards
Co, at "a Northern avenue, and for i
few moments the fire promised to be
a big one.
Some little delay in the arrival of
the department was due to the fact
that the three teams which haul the
apparatus were away from the hose
houses at the time the alarm sounded
engaged upon city work, but when the
firemcn arrived they did good work
and kept the fire confined to the tene-
ment in which it started.
The fire caught in the basement
around the chimney, and was undoubt-
eddy caused by that structure becom-
ing overheated in burning out. The
| fire worked it's way up in the wood
work around the chimney clear to the
attic. and it was only by hard work
on the part of the firemen that the
building was saved. The apartments
of Mrs. King occupy the middle tene-
mcnt, and the fire got good start be-
fore any water was put on it.
The total loss resulting from the fire
will probably not exceed $500. Mrs
Kings loss is covered by insurance IN
DowninSs agency, and the loss on the
building, in the Mill Mutual Co. The
all out was sounded at 81.
In going to the fire an accident bcfel
| the hook End ladder team which came
very near proving a disaster. The
horses were coming from Bridge to
Water street at good rate of speed
and in turning the corner the near
horse slipped and fell on the pave
ment, and before the team could be
brought to a standstill, the fallen horse
was dragged several rods.
The fallen horses legs were directly
under the feet of it's mate, and it
looked as if he must surely be stepped
on. but when the truck was stopped
and the horse assisted to his feet he
was found to be unframed, and not a
strap was broken. 1t was remark
able escape.

Bowditch & Webster, Percy w.

scene of "Revels of the demons Oh
Walpurgis night" was portrayed.
Miss Sadie Cregan. as Marguerite,
won the approval of the audience, Just
as she has during her entire engage
ment.
N. r. Cregan acceptably portrayed
Mcphisto, and was exceedingly anus
ing while wooing Dame Martha in the
garden scene of the second act,
Carl Fleming as Faust was very ac-
ceDtable in this character, especially in
his denunciation of Mephisto and the
breaking of the bond between them.
The play closed on most beautiful
tableau, the redemption of Faust and
Marguerite, and the defeat of Me-
phisto.
Owing to the length of the play, the
specialties were omitted. The offerine
will be for today's matinee, the laugh
