LAMP UPSETS DURING
LIVELY FAMILY ROW
small Blaze on Warwick Avenue FOL
lows Chimney Fire on Thirtieth
Street.

A few minutes after the Central
fire company had extinguished small
blaze In the chimney OF the home OF
DR.. w. F. Greasy, l3l Thirtieth street,
a second alarm of fire was turned In
TO the department from Warwick ave-
nue. and Twenty-third street last
night at $3.50 o'clock. When Chief
stow arrived on the scene. he found
that lamp in the house at 22O6
Warwick avenue had been upset dur
ing lively family row and a small
fire had resulted The flames were
extinguished before the East End com
pany reached the scene
The fire at the home OF DR.. Greasy
was confined entirely TO the chimney
and no damage was done the house.
An immense crowd OF people gathered
On the scene and watched the firemen
at work.
While Chief Stow was going from
the first to the second fire. he passed
one of the cars of the Newport News
& Old Point Railway e. Electric Com
pany and the motorman OF the car
failed to bring his trolley TO a stop.
Chief Stow says that the cars hardly
ever stop for the apparatus and that
his appeals to the officials of the CON-
many have been in vain. There is a
city ordinance requiring all street
cars and vehicles to stop at the ap-
proach of the fire apparatus and an
effort is to be made to have this or
dinance amended so as to put a Sc
we're penalty upon the street car com
panies and owners of vehicles for any
violation of the measure
