There were two alarms of fire on Sunday and both were from the same
 box and for fires in the same building
 at different times and from different causes. The first was at 4.O5 a. m,
 which was turned in by Alex Dombros- Xxi from box If, corner of West Main and North Thames street, for a fire in the building owned by Hertz Bros. and occupied on the ground floor by Abra-
 ham Rosenblatt, a baker. No. 20 North
 Thames street.
 The fire had a good start and was at the rear of the building, having start ed from the oven. The oven is un-
 dergreund, a place for it having been
 dug out under ground and it is also
 cemented about. but there is a place
 where it comes in contact with wood
 work. It had set fire to the outside of the building and was blazing up well when the fremen arrived. The
 proprietor had seen it and then notified Mir. Hertz, who caused the alarm to be sent in. It did not take long to check
 the blaze, but it crept up the wood
 work from the ground to the top of the building two and a half stories. Much of the woodwork had to be cut away. The recall was sounded at APO o'clock. The loss on the building is not over s200 and for the contents and build ing it is thought $500 will cover it.
