 Fire Loss Averted.
 The bed clothes in the room of an inmate of the Carol double tenement took fire about 10 o'clock Wednesday night during his temporary absence, and but for the prompt action of a neigf1bor, Mrs. Martin Kenirey, who discovered the incipient fire and aroused her husband, would have re- suited in the destruction of the house and contents. MT. Kenirey together with Thomas Wright rushed into the building, and pluckily seized the burning mattress and furniture and threw them out the windows. A hand extinguisher completed the work of extinguishing the flames which had attacked the woodwork. The damage will amount to about $50. The exact cause of the fire is not known.
