FINE HOME
RUINED AS
.F|REMEN
ARRIVE
Peachtree Road Residence Ig-
nited in Early Morning by
File.

The magnificent home OF
Charles II. Black, on Peachtree
Road, was badly damaged by
fire which started in the roof
early Wednesday, causing loss
estimated at more than $4,000.
Several hundred dollars dam
age was done to the home OF
George w. Harrison, next door,
which caught from the flying
sparks. The fire at the Harrison
home was extinguished by neigh
bors before the arrival of the
fire department.
Mr.. Black and his family which
included his wife and their two boys,
Z and Il years old, and his mother,
Mrs. f. p Black, were in bed when
neighbors discovered that the upper
part of the house was in flames.
Some Furniture Saved.
The family escaped into the street
and with the help of neighbors were
able TO save much of the furniture
One of the boys, who was sick, was
carried to safety by his mother. The
fire, famed by the brisk wind, burned
rapidly, and the house was nearly
destroyed before the fire department
could make the long run and get
water on the flames,
1t is thought the blaze started from
defective flue. When discovered the
fire was confined to the roof but
within a few minutes the roof fell in
and the flames swept into the build
ing.
Mr.. Black directed the work Of saw
ing the furniture from his home, and
neighbors turned streams of water
from private hydrants on the blaze
with little effect
The first story of the building was
not burned. but the entire upper part
will have to be rebuilt.
Magnfioently Furnished.
The dwelling was magnificently
furnished. Many of the most valu-
able articles of furniture were de-
stroyed or badly damaged by water,
and it is considered probable that
when Mr.. Black has had an oppor-
tunity to take an inventory the loss

George W. Harrison, whose house
next door caught FIRE from the sparks,
declared after the fire that if the
Peachtree road section was given adj
equate fire protection Mr.. Blacks loss
would not have been more than few
hundred dollars
The fire this morning, said MI.
Harrison, only proves the need of
better fire protection for this section

here catches fire it is destroyed. We
