Investigating Sunday Morning Fire
Blaze Discovered in Store of the l. & H. Co. in She
tucket Street-Damage is Mostly to the Stock

Looking out of the window of his
lunch cart at 1 o'clock Sunday morn
ing, George DriscoH discovered fire
in the store of The l.. & H. company,
No. 81 Shetucket street, which is but
few feet beyond his cart. An alarm
was sent in from box4, and the depart
ment was quickly on hand, so that it
was possible to check the blaze with
the two chemical engines, there being
less than 100 gallons of water used,
though it was ready, if needed.
The fire started in the back part of
the store and seemed ia have been
confined to a wardrobe there, in which
clothes were keut though the wood
work and boxfronts near the front of
the store were blistered and scorched
by the heat. There seemed to have
been a flash which sent the famen
through the entire store for a minute,
after which it died down, to kndie
again.
1t was necessary to break into the
front door, and the firemen found the
store a very hot place to work in.
The skylight in the reor was broken to
clear the store of the smoke and heat.
The damage to the building, it is stat
ed, Will not be over $500, while that
