Fire was discovered last night a few
minutes before 2 o'clock in the build
ing occupied by Victor E. Zoeller & CO..
jewelers.. The fire first started on the
second floor of the building in the
tailoring establishment of George F.
Setter. 1t is not known how it started.
The first that was known Of it several
people that were passing along Front
street heard a noise in jewelry store
At first they thought the noise was
made by some one in the building, but
upon investigation it was found that
the building was On fire. When first
discovered a very small portion OF the
ceiling had fallen through and a few
Goals had fallen on one of the show
cases in the store. An alarm was turn
ed in at once. but all the fire depart
ment was at the fire on the wharf
which had not been entirely extingush
ed. None of the hose had been taken
UP from the first fire and it took a
considerable length Of time to take up
the hose. Several sections of the best
hose Of the department were destroy
ed at the first fire and this also put the
hremen at a disadvantage. 1t was
about half an hour after the fire was
discovered before a stream OF water
was turned on it. The fire was confin-
ed almost entirely to the second floor
and volumes Of dense black smoke is
sued from the windows OF the building
When the flremen did get several
streams of water turned on the fire no
trouble was found in eXtinguiShing it.
The building in which the fire occurred
is a three story brick building and IS
owned by Mrs. Sam Bear.
The jewelry store of Mr Zoeller is
one of the handsomest in the city. AL
though nothing was damaged in the
store to any extent by the fire, consid-
erable damage was done by water.
Several remarked while looking in the
store at the tewelry and costly articles
which filled the show cases that ii look
ed worse to them to see such things
damaged by fire or water than
clothing or other forms of merchandise.
1t was impossible last night TO learn
the extent Of the damage but it was
said that the loss was entirely covered
by insurance.
For some minutes It was feared that
the fire would spread to the cfotnins Z
stores which were on both sides OF the
Burning building. On the north d.
was Munson Co.. and on the ssnIth
z Shrier.
The third floor of the building occu-
pied by Shrier did; catch on fire but 4:
was quickly extinguished. The goo"
of Shrier were badly damaged fy "
ter and smoke, but X Is not Though:

ing but hundreds Of gallons Of turpen-
was in flames. Over topping the scene
and forming q back ground was a
mass of dense black smoke. Occasion
ally there could be heard a dull rumDse
occasfoned by the exploding OF a barrel
Of turpentine.
WATER FRONT IN DANGER.
For about an hour IL was feared that
the fire would spread and the IRE
would destroy all the buildings on the
water front in that section of the city
II the main warehouse Of the Hall and
Pearsall Company had been burned the
fire would no doubt have swept down
the wharf. In Its path would have
been the Atlantic Coast Line yards and
then the Champion Compress Com
pany. Just north OF the fire was the
warehouses of the Seaboard Air Line.
All that saved these was the direction
in which the wind was blowing for one
OF the warehouses was only a few
yards from the fire and they are all
wooden structures.
BELONGED TO TWO COMPANIES.
The turpentine stored in the burned
warehouse belong to both the Hall and
Pearsal1 company and the Geo. L.
Morton company. The Hall and Pear

barrels of turpentine and the Geo. l..
Morton company between so and rs
barrels. There were also large num-
Der of empty barrels stored in the
building. The total loss of stock Is es-
timateo at between $4,000 and $50, 900
and the building was valued at between
"a 900 and 5000 On the yard was
stored hundreds of barrels of tar and
rosin but none of these were burned.
The turpentine distillery of the Geo.
L. Morton Company was only a few
did not catch on fire. The water pres
sure was very poor when the fire first
started but later 1t became stronger.
DESERVE GREAT PRAISE.
Too much praise cannot be given to
the firemen for their noble work
Nothing but the most heroic work on
their part saved the Water and Land
warehouse of the Hall and Pearsa Il
Company Not once did they hesitate
when duty called them to some dan
gerous point. The heat from the burn
ing building was SO great that ONE
could not get within thirty or forty
yards Of 1t. This shows how awful the
heat must have been at the points
where it was necessary for the f1remea
to go to save the main building, which
was only few yards from the fire.
ORIGIN OF FIRE.
A number of wood cutters were at
work yesterday at the foot of9Bruus-
wick street and only a few feet from
the platform on the north side of the
building which was burned Yester-
day was a very cold day and the men
had fire. 1t is supposed that they
did not put the fire out when they
went home yesterday evening and that
the wood caught on fire and then the
platform which lead up to the build
ing. There seems to be no doubt about
this being the manner in which the
fire started
