BROKEN MATCH CAUSES FIRE
Slight Damage Done to stock In Base
ment of schneider q Mueller
Music House,

A fire, which at one time threatened to
become serious. in the basement OF the
Schneider q Mueller music house about
7:45 last night was caused by an en-
ploye who struck a match in an effort to
find an electric light and turn II on.
The blaze occurred in the stock room
of the Columbia Photograph company.
One OF the clerks in an attempt to To-
cate a machine in the dark struck a match,
which ignited and broke. One OF the
burning fragments fell into a pile of ex-
celsior and for a time it looked as though
there would be a disastrous fire.
The amount of damage could not be
estimated last night, as the stock of
monographs will have to be invoiced.
Aside from this room. the damage is
thought to be light, although 1t is posi-
BILE that some OF the pianos stored and
Grated in the basement were injured by
water. The stock OF Schneider & Mueller.
as well as that OF the photograph COM
pany, is covered by insurance. The man
who caused the trouble is said to b. a
new employee of the firm. He was slightly
burned in an attempt to e%xtinguish the
flames before the arrival of the fire de-

huge tree was soon a blaze Of light. The
members of the knights OF Columbus were
only sorry the affair could not nave been
