M. GRAY'S RESIDENCE BURN
ED AT SECOND AND FRANK
LIN-CAUSE UNKNOWN.

The fire department was called to
the corner OF Second street and
Franklin avenue at $50 yesterday
morning in answer to a telephone
alarm. The cause OF the alarm was
fire in the residence of NJ. Gray
who is employed by J. II. Mont
gomery the plumber Chemical No.
and Hose Companies ! and 2 quick
ly responded but owing to the mac
cessible position OF the building
could do nothing as the fire was a
quick one and soon laid bare the
site on which the building stood. Six
horses were attached to the chemical
the engine taken to the top of the
hill and two tanks enptied, but with
out avail Nothing was saved from
the burning structure and all the
family effects we're lost.
The cause OF the fire is unknown
and may have been caused by chill
dren playing with matches though
the fact that the fire made more head
way in the walls than in the interior
where it was first discovered makes
it possible that rates gnawlng
matches may have caused the blaze.
/ Mrs. Gray hurriedly took the three
small children from the house when
1 she first discovered the fire and no
Ione was injured.
