 Mrs Adellard Marion, who is al- most helpless with rheumatism, was removed in a chair from the burning house. and taken to the home of rel atives.
 It was stated that the fire started from the chimney and before the blaze was extinguished, damage to ths amount of from $3oo to $400 had beer caused, chiefly by water.
 Although the city water service hat been out of commission during Thur1 day night the pressure of the on stream that was used at the fire wa found adequate to the needs of the sit uation. fs ..-, r7-s---
