probably responsible for two chimney
fires Monday afternoon and evening. At

Railroad street, where a warm Chin
ney fire was raging over two-tenement
house owned by r. Bertini. The regu-
lars were not called to use any chemicals
although the fire within the chimney
waxed exceedingly hot at times, The
damage was ineonsequential. At sos
o'clock in the evening, telephone mes
sage brought the truck to 20 Merchant Il
street, where the house is occupied by
J. l.. Arkley and ]. Plaisted. The fire.
men tussied with another hot chimney L
fire, and this time they had TO use the
hand chemicals. The loss. if the dam
age can be reckoned in dollars, was con
fined to the upper rooms. Smoke occa-
stoned some discomfort for the tenants,
and the fire did not damage the in
terror.
