MIDNIGHT FIRE IN
 WASHINGTON STREET.
Blaze in the A. p. Sturtevant House Kept Department Busy Couple of Hours.

At midnight Thursday night an alarm from box B called the fire department to the A. P. Sturtevant house,in Wash ington street, where the flames were shooting out the roof of the ell at the rear. Several in the neighborhood had sent in telephone messages about the fire to the police station and fire sta- tions, so that the companies were on their way when the alarm was sound- ed. From the home of Alexander Jor- dan the fire was seen, and upon having his attention called to it he at once telephoned police station and then the 6remen were notified.
 The fire was at the back of the build ing, having started on the lower floor and gone up through the partition, so that the blind attic on the ell near the main portion of the house caught after the first blaze had been put out. This gave the firemen the worst of their fight, but the fire was quickly put out as soon as a line of hose was run up into the attic The recall was sound ed at 1920 o'clock, but it was not until about that all the companies got back to their stations.
 How the fire started is not known, but it is thought it was possibly from ashes and had been smoldering for some time. The mansion has thirty rooms and many of them are unoccu- pied. Two families live there, Thomas German, who lives on the top floor, and Mrs Mary Gevers, who lives in the basement with her son, Herman GeV- CTS, and a nephew Mrs. Gevers was taken out of the building by Policeman Driscoll and taken to the Huntington Memorial home across the way. She is an aged woman and was alone there.
 Mrs. German was alone in her tene- nent and was awakened by her Scotch collie. which kept whining and paving her until she got up. As she went out into the hall she was almost overcome by the smoke. Clad only in her night clothes and a bathrobe, she hurried out of the house and to the home of F. H. Smith, informing him of the fire. and he in turn sent in the alarm. She had not been disturbed by the smoke. and but for the -dog might have been suffocated.
 The house is owned by Frank H. Smith and there is an insurance of s5,50O thereon. When it was occupied by A. P. Sturtevant there was an in- surance of S17,500 upon it. The loss will be several hundred dollars, al- though it is not thought that the ten ants will suffer much loss. as they live in the main portion of the mansion
 The f1remen greatly appreciated the hot coffeee served them by Mrs. SpauIding and Miss Benjamin.
