FIRE DOES $4,000 DAMAGE.
Residence of DR.. Lynch on Canal Street
Destroyed Early Tuesday Morning.

The residence of DR.. f. r. Lynch on
Canal street, opposite Aliens green
houses, was discovered to be on fire at
about $50 clock Tuesday morning
and in spite of the efforts of the fire
department the house was burned to
the ground. The larger part of the
furniture was saved by neighbors and
firemen.
DR.. Lynch arrived home late from
round of visits and was making prepa-
rations to retire when he noticed
slight cracking noise and started out
to investigate. He found that the barn
and outbuildings on the north end OF
the house were all in flames. An alarm
was sent in by telephone and the
chemical engine was quickly on the
scene but as the fire could not be con-
fined the engine was useless. A line
of hose was stretched from nearby
hydrant but it was found that there
was not pressure enough to break a
window. A stream could not be thrown
over ten feet. Meantime the barn, dry
as finder from the long-continued
drought, was burning like match wood
and the fire was spreading to the house
A bell alarm from the engine house was
rung in from box SO but owing to some
accident or other the correct number
was not rupg. Steamer No. was sent
up to the hydrant just below the hos
pital on Canal street but owing to the
time which was necessary to make
steam a full stream of water was not
put upon the flaming building until
nearly three clock. Then it was
too late to save the house and the eff
forts of the fremen were directed to
saving the furniture and other contents,
nearly all of which were removed. The
fire was under control before the flames
reached the front part of the house
but later in the day even that took
fire from the glowing embers and now
all that is standing are the chimneys.
The recall was sounded shortly after D
clock in the morning.
The house was a two-story frame
dwelling owned by H. G. Clark and
was remodelled a few years ago. 1t
was insured by H. E. Taylor & Son for
$500. DR.. Lynch, carried an insur-
ance of $1,000 on his furniture. His
loss is entirely covered. A large
amount of furniture belonging to Mrs.
G. G. Messer, stored in an outbuilding
adjoining the barn, was entirely de-
stroyed 1t was valued at about 5000
and was insured for $500. The exact total
loss has not yet been estimated but
will be in the neighborhood of $4,000,
of which $4,000 is covered by insurance.
The great handicap that the firemen
had was the lack of water pressure.
The reservoir is not more than 10 feet
higher than the site on which the
house stood and consequently but very
little pressure was the result. The fire
was spectacular in the extreme ewing
to the elevation of the site of the
house, and could be seen for miles
around All the village was lighted up
by the blaze and despite the hour
large crowd of people turned out to
watch the flames as they leaped from
point to point Of the burning building.
The opinion is held in some quarters
that the fire was Of incendiary origin,
Mrs. C. A. Smith, who lives nearly op-
posite, having heard someone proving
about just before the flames were dis
covered.
