Hydrants Failed.

There was trouble with the hydrants
which gave the fire a great start, and
the Salem fire department was at once
called upon, responding with its full
force, and making quick run. Every
engine was soon at work, but the size
oil the building, and the big start the
lire had, made the fight almost a hope
less one from the start. That the en-
tlre wing will be destroyed and moth
ing but the wall left seems certain.
AS soon as the conditions we're
known some fifty special police were
sworn in, armed and rushed to the
scene, but their presence is probably

are working like Troians.
