EARLY BORING Blaze IN Csalep Of
Hampton RusIRiss District.
BELIEVED 70 Be UNaER CONTROL
Starting in Bedroom on Second
Floor, the Flamea Have Quilted
Most Of the Building = Damage
Probably About $4,000.
Especial by Telephonel

HAMPTON. VA. Jan. rs = Fire
starting in 4 room on the second
floor damaged the Masonic Temple
and contents to the extent of about
$4,000 this morning at 3 O'Clock.
AZ one time 1t seemed that tho
Temple would be destroyed. and
the surrounding buildings we're
threatened. At 4 o'clock the blaze
seems 10 be unde- control.
The fire started In q room occupied
by MIR. Joe Fulton. and is believed to
have been caused by lighted Gig
arctic dropped on bed quilt. Mr..
Fulton was aroused by the heat, and
barely had time to rush from the
room in his night clothing.
Postmaster Libby. who occupied a
room adjoining that OF Mr. Fulton.
was awakened by the noise and he.
too. Just had time to get out in
scanty attire.
The Masonic Temple, located on
Queen street. near Wine street, is; a
three stoy brick building. The first
floor is occupied by the Hampton &
Phoebus Gas Company. on the second
floor are the apartments of Messrs
Libby and Fulton, and the lodge hall
is Oh the third floor.
An alarm was turned in, and in n
few minutes the firemen had four
streams of water on the blaze. At
first it was hoped that the fire could
be confined to the second floor. hut
about $50 o'clock the flames broke
out fresh and the third floor, the
home of st. Tammany Lodge, A. F. &
a. NJ. was Quilted.
AT this time. o'clock, the firemen
seem to have the situation in hand.
1t is impossible to estimate the da-
mage accurately. but it is said that
$4,000 will hardly cover 1t.
Postmaster Libby says that his
own effects were worth something
like $4,000. .
The building is insured.
AS the fire is in the very center
OF the business district of the own. ii
mas created great deal of excitement.
