on the second door of the warehouse
occupied by c. w. Antrim & Sons.

Street Although II was put out in
about twenty minutes, damage esti-
mated by Z. b. Antrim. senior mem
Der of the firm at between $4,000 and
$4,000, fully covered by insurance,
was done. Mr.. Antrim declared that
it was a matter of impossibility to tell
Just what the loss would be. While
damage by fire was slight a miscel-
ianeogs assortment of stock was ruined
by water.
When Chief Joynes responded TO an
alarm turned in from Box No. 1871.
Fifteenth and Cary Streets. the ware
house was barely visible through the
dense smoke which issued from the
place. Being in the heart of the whole
sale business district and fearing TO
take any chances of a large contiagra-
ton. Chief Joynes directed that
second alarm be sounded. In a few
minutes water was being thrown into
the building from streams from IN
gnes Nos. l. .. 3. 4. and 9. and
the water towers of Trucks Nos. and
. were placA in service.
Large Crowd Attracted.
The second alarm and dense smoke
attracted large crowd. and II was
necessary for the police TO stretch fire
lines TO keep back the throngs. Those
who visited the scene were rewarded
with no spectacular sight The fire
was under control shortly after the ar
rival of apparatus and completely out
in less than half an hour, although
great clouds of smoke filled the build
ing and spread into the street.
The fire started in the rear OF the
second floor of the three-story brick
building and had burned through TO
the third floor before II was under con-
troll Numerous sharp explosions led
TO a report that fireworks were stored
in the place, but investigation brought
to light the fact that the explosions
we're due to cartridges and shells which
had been stored in the building.
Firemen were slightly handicapped
in their work by two lines Of hose
bursting. which necessitated the re-
moval of sections in order TO substitute
new lines.
Mr. Antrim said that the fire would
not interrupt the business of the hrrl'
and that while the damage to the
building was not great, 1t would be
AT once repaired.
