} YELLING IN DANGER
First Engine Company Responding
Found it Necessary to Tele-
phone for Aid.

Five horses were cremated and about
$1,000 damage was occasioned by a fire
at l. S. Spaldings stable in the rear of
$40 Fifteenth street southeast shortly
before II o'clock last night. Frederick
Engels home at 80 Fifteenth street
southeast was also damaged to the
extent of $500 or more. Good work on
the part of the firemen was all that
saved Engel and his relatives from be-
ing made homeless by the flames.
The fire was discovered by a police
man from the Fifth precinct. The
flames were already Ieaping out of the
loft window of the stable, which is
located on the northeast corner of a
large lot. An alarm was telephoned to
No. engine company at 1874, and
four minutes later the command in
charge OF Captain Hopkins was on the
scene and IN action.
The horses and a large quantity of
feed. as well as a lot of harness used by
Mr.. Spalding, were burnt in few mo-
ments.
Telephoned for Aid.
When Captain Hopkins arrived on the
scene he saw his command would be
unable to cope with the situation and
telephoned TO fire alarm headquarters
ASKING lhsiI NO. 10 engine company IN
charge Of Captain McLain be sent as
soon as possible. The two companies
then played half a dozen or moro
streams on the flames and worked until
s:3O o'clock this morning, when they
gained the mastery.
Dwelling Threatened.
MIR. Engers home in front of the
stable was within reach Of the flames
and when the fireInen saw them threat
ening the residence they turned theiI
attention that way. The roof and sides
of the house were ablaze, and the flames
had cracked the glass. Considerable
damage was done to the household arti-
cles, and it will take $500 or more tC
repair the damage to the structure.
While the firemen were fighting the
flames. Mr., EngeI prepared several gal
Ions of coffee and furnished IL to Chiei
Belts men Mrs Sherry, OF 400 FIT

NEW IBERIA FIRE.

Fire Marshal Dennis B. Haggerty
returned to the city yesterday from
New iberia whittier he had gone to
investigate the big fire which dew
astated a large portion of the thriv-
ing little community's business Sec
ton several nights ago.
Mr.. Haggerty made close and
searching investigation heard a
number of witnesses and went over
the scene of the fire several times.
He ascertained that the fire orignat-
ed in narrow lane which was used
as sort of warehouse and where a
lot of barrels of liquor and oil own
ed by DeBlanc & Landry were
stored across the alley was located
a negro card room and Mr.. Haggerty
concluded that it was most probable
from the condition of things that
some of the negroes had carelessly
thrown burning cigarettes and
cigars against the barrels.
The Waterman who discovered
the fire stated to Mr.. Haggerty
that he had heard the crashing of
bottles packed in some of the bar
rels and running into the lane saw
the fire raging. The blaze had such
start that the Department was I'M
able to cope with it when arriv-
ing npon the scene.-Picaynne.
