BRISK BLAZE IN AWNING
Destroyed the Sun-shedder in Front Of
New England Fruit Store.

Persons who saw the front of the old
city building on North Main street ap-
parently enveloped in flames yesterday
afternoon around o'clock came to the
conclusion that the fate of the structure,
which has weathered storms OF several
generations. was sealed But il was
only the awning which runs flush with
the front window of the New England
fruit store, and when passing call
man of the fire department succeeded in
smothering what was left OF the cloth,
a small furry of excitement aroused over
the possible demise of the town hall of
other days straightway dissipated it
self.
The fire is believed to have been start
ed by a careless boy, who may have cast
a cigarette out OF a second story win
dow down onto the awning. One of the
young women clerks at the fruit store
was the first to notice the flames, ani
she shouted for assistance as she grabbed
an armful of grape baskets and started
for indoors A passing call man heard
her cries and, procuring broom, started
to combat the blaze. He soon avertel
the danger of serious fire by extin-
gushing little flames that shot along
the elapboards. Only the iron frame
work and few burned shreds were lett
to show that the persimmons and Tokay
grapes in the fruit store window had
once been protected from the sun by
an awning. L. NJ. Laws, the proprietor
of the fruit store. found that two bas-
kets of grapes We're affected by the fire
and smoke, although a portion of the
fruit contained therein was salvaged.
The awning loss is covered by insurance.
