 Z. fire alarm was sent In shortly efcre o'clock Thursday afternoon
 m Box 73, near the plant of the t,7esterly Light and Power company, for a blaze in an auxiliary barn leased by George E. Champlin & Son, off Canal street. and owned by the Cram daII brothers. The nearest fire alarm box was 57, in High street near Ca- the work of the 1reTnen as they must pass the fire before reaching the box from which the alarm was sent in.
 Before the third round of the alarm had sounded the Cyclones and Rhode Island Ones were speeding to the fre, and each stretched a line of hose in quick time, the one from the hy drant at Railroad avenue and Canal street and the other from the hydrant at High street and Canal street. These well directed streams soon subdued the fire on the barn roof, and pre- vented other buildings in the vicin- fty from catching fire from flying sparks.
 The fire was confined to the roof and the damage will not exceed S25. The cause of the fire was from sparks that were waited in the wind from under a kettle of boiling tar in the rear of the tter-I4angwortly build ing.
 The Alert Hook and Ladder com pany responded, but were necessarily delayed in waiting for the arrival o1 a horse from the Champlin stable to draw the apparatus. It is expected that this company will soon be fur nished a modern motor driven truck
