years was in the Hamilton and Scott
families for a hundred years. IL was
lately purchased by MIR. G.. Helmig

supposed TO be from rats or a defective
fue. The fire was confined to the attic
story and roof. 1t was only by the al
most superhuman efforts of the fire de-
partment, which deserves great praise,
that the building was saved and that
the fire did not extend TO the sheds on
the lot of Mr.. NJ. 5. Chancellor ad-
joining.
In the building Mr.. and Mrs. John
Mcdonnell had rooms. Nearly all their
furniture was saved. but damaged. Mr..

had his furniture and library damaged
by water Miss Mary Lou Bowling,
who occupied an attic room, lost all her
furniture and clothing. The building is

This is the fifth time the building has
been on fire since the war. There was
