FIRE IN BASEMENT
THREATENS CHURCH

Fire. resulting from a defect in the
furnace in the basement of the Park
Street Baptist church this morning
at o'clock, came near destroying the
edifice, and resulted in damage to the
extent of $500 or $500. Had it not
been for the prompt work of the fire
boys from station No. 2, it is doubtful
if the flames could have been controll-
ed without much greater damage to
the structure, as gas main, from
which the jet had melted, fed the
flames and great Roadway had been
gained when the alarm was turned
in. 1t is understood the building is
covered by $4,000 insurance.
The damage consisted chiefly Of a
hole through the main floor of the
auditorium, burned woodwork and car
pets in the basement and Of injuries
to the decorations in the auditorium
by the volumes Of smoke that filled
the building. Notwithstanding the
condition of the streets and the hour
at which the alarm was given. both
departments made record time in
reaching the scene, without accident
to men or horses.
