FIRE IN A FRUIT STORE. The fire alarm
last Saturday morning came so soon after
the SIS whistle that many did not respond.
That does not, however, include the fire de-
partment, as Washington Hose Co., No. !,
Seaside Hose Co., No. 2. and the Hook &
Ladder Co. were promptly on hand and did
good service. The fire was in the fruit
store of G. B. Marsano. on High street. The
store was heated by large stove, and some
one in passing after the place had been
closed Saturday night noJced that the stove
was red hot and notified the night watch.
They inspected the premises a number of
times during the night. and on their last
visit in the early morning saw that the fire
had burned down. Shortly after 5 a. m. it
was discovered that the place was on fire
is sheathed with hard pine, and once under
way the fire burned fiercely, running up the
partitions into the rooms above, occupied
by the local Boot and Shoe Workers Union.
Mr.. Marsano had large stock of fruit,
candy, cigars and tobacco, and with the fire,
smoke and water it was practically total
loss. He had only 5000 insurance, and is a
heavy loser. During the day he resumed
business in the vacant store in Johnson's
block. The Union had insurance of $3.50,
which it is thought will about cover their
loss. The building was owned by L. L.
Gentner and was insured for $4,000. 1t is
understood he will repair at once. No dam
age was done to the adjoining buildings
