NJ tho house in a closet near the CHM
nev. A fire had just been started in the
front rom and this evidently caused
the chimney to become over-heated.
After something over an hour
uo,x the fire was extinguished but it
was a hard one to fight. The extreme
cold hindered the men and the fire
worked along through the timbers of
the hip roof, making it hard to get at.
AS it was, the roof was practically de-
stroyed and the upper rooms more or
less damaged by fire and considerably
by water The lower rooms in the front
mart Of the house were damaged only
by water.
A large crew of firemen and assist
ants were quickly on the scene and
succeeded in saving nearly all of the
household furnishings. The piano be-
longing to Mrs. Towle was removed to
the ell of The house. Mrs. Cole lost all

closet where the fire started.
Mr.. Johnson stated that he had $500
insurance on the building and a small
amount of his furniture. He thought
that the insurance would not cover the
loss to the building. DR.. Coles furni-
ture was practically all saved but
what was destroyed was total loss, as
he carried no insurance.
The building is what is known as
the James Steward house. Mr.. Johnson
purchased it about two years ago.
An accident befell the Continental
Hook & Ladder truck just after it
started for the fire. In turning on to
Water street from Church street Driver
Clark had to make a short turn to
avoid a collision with team. The
rear off wheel struck one of the rails
of the street car track and collapsed

side. The hub of the wheel was COM
pletely separated from the spokes. The

winter truck, which was recently
brought from the building where it was
stored during the summer. and after
some delay the ladders were at the
