The fire alarm was sent in wrong from Box 41, Main and School streets, that is, the lever was not pulled only 8 part of the distance required eaus- ing a jumbled alarm, which puzzled the dremen who were in readiness to respond. Then the alarm was sent in properly and the fire apparatus was at the location of the fire in J1ffy and succeeded in extinguishing the blaze before serious damage resulted. The fire was in the attic of the house No. II School street owned by Albert H. Iangworthy, and occupied by the family of William R. Dove, the De- Ianey sisters and Thomas ". Coy. When the. fireInen arrived the flame was pouring out of a window in the Dove apartment, the chemicals fail ed and a stream of water soon sub dued the flame and before it burned through the roof. The fire was con- fined to the attic room, where 1t originated, the contents of which were more or less burned.
 The fire started in a bureau drawer and presumably was caused by a lighted match, carelesSly dropped by one of the Dove boys, who was in the room a short time before the discov- cry of the fire which was first seen by George W. Burdick from his home on Elm street. He promptly notified the occupants of the house and the lire alarm was sent in as quickly as pos sible The loss by fire and water is estimated at $500.
