Another Fire.

About half past nine on Wednesda.
evening Mr.. Joseph Shaw who lives,
alone, was about retiring to bed IN his.
residence, and attempted to put out the
lamp. Just what happened Mr.. Shaw;
does not remember, but as parts of the
lamp were found scattered about the
room next morning, there is but little
doubt that the lamp exploded. A lounge
was set on fire and Mr.. Shaw attempted
to smother the flames with three heavy
coats,inclnding fur coat. While these
garments kept the flames in some do
grees,smothered, yet the smoke became
very thick and Mr.. Shaw was compelled
to retreat to the kitchen which was also
pretty we'll filed. Here he became
somewhat dazed and found it ilnpossible
to open the back door in the darkness
and smoke.
Meantime Miss Vida McCaffery and
Miss Bella Mckay who were returning
home, while near the Presby terian
Oh urch smelled smoke and Miss Nc
Caaery feared for Ter own home next to,
MIR. Shaw's house. but finding nothing
wrong there she went to Mr.. Shaw's
front door which, was fastened. but had
volumes of smoke coming through the
joints. She then ran around to the
back door and heard Mr.. Shaw shout
ing for help, and told him to open the,
door, but he replied that he could not,
and then she went to the window and
pushed in the glass with her mittened
hands, and reaching in drew Mr.. Shaw
to the opening and getting his head out
in the air, he revived somewhat and by
that time others had arrived and with
their help Mr.. Shaw was drawn through
the window to safety.
j The water brigade got in sufficient
work to nearly put out the fire and the
i. chemical finished the job, in a few
minutes. The hose was laid and the
fire engine in working order soon after

badly damaged by smoke and the three
