volumes of smoke that poured through
The few openings to the street driving
pedestrians away and making difficult
fhe work of the firemen who were called

ton of the fire. Telephone and tele-

result.
The fire was started by the fiaring up
Of a. small banjo lamp used by the Ia
borers i'm their underground work. The
fire broke out near the principal en-
trance to the section Of the subway at
the corner of Fulton street and Broad
way and shut off the usual means of
