Was Occupied by F. G. Appel-The
 Damage Amounts to About ''s8 sR $500

A house belonging to M. Jaffe, and oc- cupied by F. c. Appel, an employe of the Standard oil company, situated at 917 Woodland avenue, caught fire yesterday afternoon and was nearly destroyed be- fore the fire department was notified.
 Bremen exercising the horses in the street in front of fire station No. T saw the blaze and went to the fire on a still alarm. When. they got there they found that the entire roof of the house was ablaze, and that the roofs of two adjoin- ing houses had caught fire. Captain John son called out companies Nos. ? and to help him. They confined the fire to the Appel house, which sustained damage of s150o None of the contents of the house, on which there were s75o insurance, were destroyed. The insurance on the house could not be ascertained as MT. Jaffe, the owner, is not in the city.
 The damage to the other two houses did not amount to anything. After the fire was out on the Jaffe house, firemen, looking about the house for more fire, dis covered a cat in 8 closet which was not even wet and looking as unconeerned as if nothing had ever happened The fire started in the basement of the house from an overloaded furnace and ran up the walls to the roof

STEVE SMITH HOME
 BURNS ID GROUND
Handsome Edgewood Resi- dence Totally Destroyed
 Yesterday Morning

The home of stephen Smith, located in Edgewood. was completely destroyed by fire yesterday morning, entailing an ap- proximate loss of s12,ooo. The ashes of the handsome home had not stopped smouldering before Mr. Smith authorized the statement that hx would erect an- other home on the site.
 The fire originated from an electric wire in the garret and the entire roof was ablaze before the flames were discovered. The telephones being out of order pre- vented Mr. Smith from securing aid from Birmingham Added to that misfortune was the additional fact that his private water supply was frozen and little aid was secured from that source All that could be done was to look on while the flames destroyed the property
 The home of stephen smith. who is pres ident of the Edgewood Land company was probably the handsomest private country house in this community. It was completed last June. It was situated upon an eminence overlooking the car line and the remainder of Edgewood property. II was constructed of brick and stone SC. cured from the mountains. II was three stories high, the upper floor being bil. Hard room and a den
 Mir Smith said last night that tho vatlue of his home could not be accurately stated but it would be in the neighbor- hood of si2,ooo. The building was insured but not to it's full value.
 'I wish to say that my home which was
 
 destroyed by fire early this morning will be rebuilt where 1t formally stood' said Mir. Smith last night. fThe building was completely destroyed. with the possible ex- ception of the cellar I intend to make the burned house look like a servants 2 house. however, compared to the one inc tend to erect in Edgewood If 1t had not been for the very severe cold weather this morning I am convinced that we could have controlled the fire. However, my private water system was frozen and we could do nothing further in view Of sile telephone troubles now existing in the city '
