FIRE BUG
CAUSED
LARGE LOSS

The police and the fire departments are
stu kept on the alert by the frebug who
gets In his work all too often.
With the exception of the blaze on
Smiths hill, last month. the fires caused
little loss up to Saturday night. for the
reason that they were quickly discovered
and extingulshed.
Just before midnight Saturday two
alarms were given for a fire in William
NJ Harris lumber yard. on Charles
street. and one for fire on the premises
OF the Corliss Engine works. which was
caused by the lumber yard blaze
The fire originated in a large shed In
which Mr. Harris had about $4,000 worth
OF kln-dried lumber stored.
The shed and contents were destroyed.
The United States Finishing Co,
which concern brought out the silver
Spring d and r. company. sustained
loss OF about $4,000 on cloth that was
soaked with dirty water.
There was also damage TO a high re-
tainfng wall backing up TO the lumber
yard. to the extent OF $4,000. and about
5000 To the roof Of one OF the buildings,
All OF the property burned or damaged
was well insured.
The FIRE was undoubtedly OF incendary
origin.
