Govans.-Our fire company had strenu-
Gus time of it last Sunday morning when they
were called about 2 o'clock to extinguish fire
at York road and Rossiter avenue, and again
defeated their efforts and reduced the house
| and stable of Mr.. William Tegeler to ashes
| The first blaze occurred in q vacant building
formerly known as Cold Spring Hotel. which,
| for some years past, has been used as private
| dwelling. The fire was discovered by Mr.. James
Mace, who occupies the next-door dwelling
| and who gave the alarm. The box at Willow
| avenue and York road was out of order and
message was telephoned to the engine house.
| In short time the Govans fremen were on
the scene, followed by the Roland Park Com
| pany. The GOvans volunteers also responded.
Streams from two lines of hose were quickly
playing on the flames, giving an exhibition Of
| the efficiency of the water service recently in
stalled. For two hours the fremen fought the
flames. which were finally gotten under con-
| troll. Under the old method of fire fighting
"Andaroch," as the old building was called
would now be pile of ashes. There is suffi-
cient standing to testify that the residents need
no longer fear being burned alive if they are
within the zone protected by the plugs and
| hose No plugs are near enough to the home
of Mr.. Tegeler to be of service, and different
story must be told. The fire started in the
stable and spread to the dwelling, both being
destroyed, together with nearly all their con-
tents. The loss will amount to several
thousand dollars. The origin of the fire is
unknown, and Mr.. Tegeler has requested the
authorities to make an investigation. He ex-
poets to rebuild but the old house at Rossiter
| avenue will probably be torn down to make
room for a more modern dwelling.

road between Notre Dame and WoodbourEe e
avenues, have raised fund with which to
treat that portion of the thoroughfare with a

| pertinent in front of his residence this sum-
mer and the result was so satisfactory that re-
lief from the great clouds of dust is sought by
| others.
