BIG BLAZE WIPED
QUICK WORK OF rIREMEN AT
 JESSE FRENCH PIANO STORE
Flames Are Confined to . snan Hole in Ceilsag, When Over o3O0,-
 O00 Worth of Property Waa Threatened.

Remarkably fast work of the Ire department nipped an ugly blaze in the heart of the business district yes- terday afternoon before the flames had time to spread. In the building oc- cupied by the Jesse French Plano Co.,, the chimney of the wook-workers', de- partment on the second story, Is built up from the wooden floor. When 1t was built, 1t is said that the bricks were laid and the chimney reared. leaving. square of exposed wood on the floor inside the flue. Sparks falling on this exposed wood yester- day. started the fire which burned through the flooring and concealed. spread between the flooring of the second story and the ceiling of the floor below. Not until the flames had broken through the ceiling in the sales department was the presence or the fire known.
 The run to the blaze, of the Scott Street fire apparatus, was sensational. the Madison Avenue men, but three blocks from the fire. was scarcely on the scene, when the Scott Street con- tingent thundered down the south Perry Street hill. The men from Five Points reached the threatened store in good time and swarm of fire fighters were at work. in few min- utes after the alarm was sent In.
 Luckily for the. stock of the piano company. there was no need for Wa ter, for the chemical extinguishers were applied and their streams used through openings chopped in the sec ond floor of the building.
 To say nothing of the adjoining property, the fire threatened in the piano company's building alone over $30O,O00 worth of stock and fixtures. The splendid work of the men confined the damage to the floor where the ara ,tartad ubicb cau he repaired for less than $50.
 Major A. G. Forbes. manager Of the Southern district of the piano com pany, wrote the fire chief most com- plimentary and appreciative letter for the service rendered by the men.
