EIGHTH FIRE
IN ONE HOUSE
i
Lawrence Street Resi-

LOSS WILL BE ABOUT $500
Eiremen Were Called 0ut Early IN
the Morning.
Less Thar Three weeks Ago the Fire
men Were Called to the Same
House, where Fire
Threatened II.
LOSS Will BE ABOUT $500

Some hoodoo has settled itself on
the house at Sill South Lawrence Street
apparently. The hooodoo is finding its
vent in fires. For the eighth time
since the houses erection, the fire de-
paroment was called out. early yester-
day morning. to Quell blaze which
threatened the dwelling.
The house Is owned by s. }. Sykes,
and occupied by T. 8. Smith. Fires
occur with uncanny frequency, and the
one yesterday morning was nearly
successful in demolishing the house.
The fire Department. however. with
strenuous efforts. restricted the blaze
to the roof and upper floors. and the
first door, with Its furniture, was un-
harmed.
The loss, In all, to the owner and &C.
cupant will amount to 500 or $500,
probably, from fire and damage from
water to the furniture. The loss will
probably be covered by insurance.
The IRE engines were called out at
4:27 yesterday morning. the blaze at
that time becoming apparent 10 the
residents. It had started. apparently
from the kitchen fiue, and the roof OF
the one-story addition In which the
kitchen is placed was caught. From
this, the flames licked their way up
the back wall to the roof OF the Duiio-
ing proper. The roof was aitogetneI,
burned. though little of the interior
was harmed by the flames. The water
however. ruined some Of the furniture
and the wall paper, whose installation
had Just been completed.
Not more than three weeks ago. the
seventh fre occurred in the house. at
q time when smallpox had stricken Its
occupants. 1t was necessary to move
the two infected persons to the side
walk. while the firemen fought the
flames, At that time the loss was IN
significant.
