the lack Of power.

Fire Hard to Fight.

1t was about o'clock when Tie
fire broke out and First Assistant Fire
Chief J. T. Shinnick and his men went
to work at the tap Of the gong, and at
the first opening smoke, thick, yellow
and suffocating, belched forth, making
entrance impossible.
The cigar company in whose place
the fire was first fought occupies part
of the ground floor and basement of
the big Symons Dry Goods company's
building.
The firemen realized that to keep
the fire confined to the basement and
away from the elevator shaft was the
only hope of saving the block. Three
lines Of hose, manned by crews who
CALAMITY braved the smoke, advanced
into the poisonous cloud and poured a
food of water into the hole. Unfor-
tunately, the basement of the Symons
company was easily drained, and the
basement being double one, with a
subbasement beneath it, was impos-
sible to food.
The men could not reach the seat of
the flames, but several went through
the rear sidewalk windows and held
the streams as close as they could to
the origin of the smoke.
Spread Of the Blaze.
Finally, with a favorable change in
the wind, which kept the smoke back
temporarily, the firemen broke in the
three doors on the ground floor and
poured the water in the direction of
the elevator shaft, which roared like
a mill race. A perfect geyser of sparks
and burning shingles spewed its tor
rent across the roofs of buildings,
starting patches of flames from the
Renshaw hall all the way to the Park
building. From II o'clock until noon
the Symons company building burned
free as a bonfire, anu the department
confined its labors to saving adjacent
property. The Renshaw building SEEM
