The Rock Island city council after

somewhat notorious Twenty Fourth

ing the sewer, convened in the council
chamber, Mayor McCaskrin. City At

scented the firm declined to do without

this morning. While o. T. Neef, chef
at the Harper house was passing the
building he noticed smoke coming
from the basement windows and at
once turned in an alarm. Central sta
ton of the fire department arrived
upon the scene and found the
coal pile to be on fire. The chemical
appliance was brought into play and
the blaze eXtinguished.
The origin of the fire was undoubt-

basement yesterday afternoon by an
employe of the house. In the course of
his duties he set the candle near some
sawdust and forgot to remove it. The
loss is trifling.
