Electric Company's Storehouse Burned -Ezri Lamphere Killed in New York-Frst Native Strawberries Monday

Sunday afternoon about o'clock fire broke out Tn the building just south of the railroad station owned by the Westerly Electric Light company. The B. F, HoXie Engine company and the Mystic Hook and Ladder company soon had two streams on the fire. The chief of the fire department. George Deneke did good work. From the start it was seen that the building was doomed, the blaze having such head way before the fire was discovered. The hydrant north of the railroad track was the nearest for the line of hose to be attached and had to be laid over the track, which caused the express train due here at 3.27 to be stalled for some time. The conductor on the train finally got into communi- cation with Chief Deneke and after some minutes a trench was dug under the tracks, the pipe laid there and the train was permitted to pass. The building was partially insured. It was used as a storehouse for the electric light company.
