The note was not addressed to anyone.
On table neaf his bed were two other

FIRE LOSS $4,000.
ESTIMATE REVISED
Damage Done by Fourteenth
Street Fire Last Night Was
OVereStimated.

Revised estimates OF the loss caused
by last nights fiTe in the building at
sos Fourteenth street northwest, made
by Fire Marshal Nicholson, the man
agement OF the Darby Printing Com
pany, the National Engraving Company.
and the Eckert LithOgraphing Company,
the occupants of the structure, place
the tOta1 at S17 900.
OF this amount. which is greatly an
der the estimates ot last night. the
Darby Company loses $1,000 5000 On
the building. which II owned anC which
is insured, and 5000 on the stock,
Which is uninsured: the lithographing
concern loses 5000 on its stock which
Is covered by $1,000 insurance, and the

stock, the engraving company carry ing
Just 5000 insurance.
Through the quick work Of the de-
partment. the fire was confined TO me
western end OF the fourth or top rioor'
and in spite of the fact that this por-
ton of the building was blazing ner-
r.ly when the firc was discovered short
lv after II O'Clock, the fremen were
even able TO save a portion Of that floor
from utter destruction.
Spontaneous Combustion.
Fire Marshal Nicholson said this
morning that the fire probably started
from the chemicals stored in the south
west corner of the fourth floor Spun-
taneoue combustion he thinks, is the
only thing that can be held responsible.
The electric light wiring IS apparently
intact, and several jars of the best aico-
hol. stored near the southwest corner,
were uufntUred in spite of its infiamma-
BILE nature.
The principal damage was done by the
water. The streams dTenched the third.
second. aud first floors. and did much
injury to the machinery and stock stored
there
All the companies doing business in
the building were hard at work this
morning clearing out the debris and get
ting ready to open up I'm a few days.
The floor of the fourth floor did not
cave in. and only a portion Of the roof
and, of course. the big skylight in the
southwestern corner, suffered greatly.
This skylight, Marshal Nicholson said
this morning. Is responsible Tor the COM
paratively slight loss
Spectacular Blaze.
The fire was spectacular and. in spite
of the Iateness of the hour. attracted
a large crowd. which gathered in the
streets, on the roof Of the Municipal
Building, and at other points OF vantage
A report that the New Willard Hotel
was thSeatened brought hundreds out or

after the first companies arrived

whole department to the scene.
The fire-fighters set their ladders
against buildings on Pennsylvania ave-
nue. and + street and others were sent
10 the top of Chase's Theater near by,

more streams were playing the flames.
