FIREMAM'S HOUSE BURNED.
John B. kelIy's Residence Slightly
Damaged This Morning.

A fire alarm caused by the burning
of the residence of John B. Kelly, a
fireman, at No. 701 Poplar street this
morning called out the apparatus
from station No. 1. About o'clock a
lighted lamp exploded in the kitchen
of the house scattering oil all over the
floor. The fire spread very rapidly
and when the firemen reached the
place the kitchen was a mass of
flames. The chemical was put TO
work and soon had the fire under con-
troll. 1t was extinguished without the
aid of the other apparatus. The dam
age to the building and the contents
is estimated at 5000. 1t was only by
splendid work of the firemen that the
remainder Of the building was saved.
