FIRE IN ATTIC.
Alderman W. M. Parker of Montpelier
Sustained Loss.

The Montpelier fire department was
called out at about $50 o'clock this
morning for a fire in the house of Alder
man w. NJ Parker on Northfeld street.
Upon arrival at the scene Chief Pattee
saw that more help and equipment than
are carried on a still alarm was needed
and rang in an alarm from box l22, The
damage from fire alone will amount to-
about 800, while the water damage NAV
be considerable The fire started in the
papers stored in the attic of the house,
where the fire was confined. 1t did not
get into the sleeping rooms on the first
floor of the house.
Alderman Parker was awakened bv
cracking. At first he thought it was
mice, but as he continued to listen few
seconds decided that it was something
more than that and went to the stairway
leading TO the attic Upon opening the
door he saw that the attic was afire.
Stepping to the telephone he called the :
fire department.
Two streams of water were PLAYED
into the attic, drowning the fire, although
q considerable quantity of newspapers
that had been stored in the attic had
to be thrown through hole torn in the
roof of one of the gables to reach the fire.
These were all burning. Most of the
furnishings in the first floor were re-
moved from the house and after the fire
was out were replaced in the house,
which can be occupied as soon as little
repairing is done to the roof.
The cause of the fire has not been de-
cided.
