HEAVY LOSS INCURRED
CARL JAEGER,S ESTABLISHMENT
DAMAGED BY FIRE.

The explosion Of gasoline in tank con-
nected with a stove caused serious fire
in the tailoring establishment of Carl
Jaeger, 921 street northwest, about S:15
o'clock this morning. Mrs. Jaeger and her
three children were in the establishment
at the time the explosion occurred, and SO
rapidly did the flames spread that there
was but little time to anything. The
woman and her children were very much
excited, and the excitement spread to
neighbors and pedestrians, who feared the
fire had been accompanied by loss of life.
After seeing that her children were out
of harms way. Mrs Jaeger made an eff
fort to save some of her belongings and
was painfully burned about her arm. The
injury was not SO serious that she had to
go to hospital, however, and she re-
manned about her home and place of bust
ness to do what she could in the matter of
saving and protecting her effects.
AS soon as an cutlery was made an alarm
was turned in from box 134 calling out a
number of companies of the fire depart
Mt The flremen lost no time in getting
started upon the work of extinguishing the
blaze, but did not succeed in checking it
until the upper part of the building was in
names. The contents of the business place
were totally destroyed, and some damage
was caused in the living apartments of the
family. The only thing the firemen were
able to save from the tailoring establish
ment was the money in the drawer.
amounting to about 500. This was turned
over to Mr.. Jaeger later in the day.
Takes Loss Philosophically.
AT the time the fire occurred Mr.. Jaeger
was away from home attending to some
business, but reached there shortly before
the firemen were ready to leave. His wife
met him grieving over their loss, but the
husband said that, although he carried no
insurance on his stock and had lost con-
siderable money by the fire, he had not
been in business so many years without
gaining experience. and told Mrs Jaeger
not to worry over their loss.
I'VE will now take a vacation he said,
land get a little rest"
About the time the ffremen were getting
ready to leave the scene Policeman Klein
dienst discovered a blaze in the attic and
told the firemen in time to prevent further
damage. This blaze was extinguished and
the fremen soon left the vicinity. Mrs. Bur
rows, it is stated owns the property which
Is insured. The damage caused by the
blaze is estimated at about 81, zoo and most
of 1t falls upon Mr.. Jaeger.

the Norfolk and Washington Steamboat
Company. yesterday stated to The Star re-
porter that he would, within the next day
or two, go on to New York to look at two
other double end ferry steamers. but as the
owners of the boats are, In his opinion, ask
ing considerably more than the boats are
worth. 1t is doubtful whether he can come
to terms with them.
The remains Of the old steamer Columbia,
which was burned at her dock here over two
years ago, and which is now lying at Alex
andria, Is to be sold to the highest bidder
at private sale. 1t is probable the purchaser
of the hulk will use the hull for a vessel,
and the old boat will once again sail on the
