ON Leaning Avenue
Consumes One House

Another fire broke out in Wildwood
on Wednesday evening about $50
O'Clock, just at the heighth Of a banquet
being held by the Holly Beach firemen
in their hall. This time the flames
started in a building belonging to Mrs.
Frances Burns, on Leaning avenue,
mid way between Holly Beach and Pa
cific The building was en-
veloped in flames before the firemen
arrived and was almost totally con-
sumed. The burned structure was To-
Gated on the rear of the lot, the front
house being somewhat damaged. The
property was known as the Dennison
house some years ago. There are sew
eral honses in a few feet of the burned
building and two or three of them were
OF fire when the iremen arrived. Just
back of the burned building is the AL
fred Haney property on Hand avenue,
and adjoining that il a commodious
property owned by the estate of the late
George w. Rogers. The damage to
these properties was trifling. The cot
tsge of Mrs. Mary j. Robinson toward
Pacific avenue was unframed. The
burned building was filled with house
hold goods, belonging to Mrs. Burns,
and also some belonging to Mrs. De-
Armon was stored there. 1t was all
burned. There was no insurance on
the burned house, but the front house
was insured through the agency of
Beecher-Kay Realty Co. Both of the
Burns houses were uuoccupied, Mrs.
Burns living on Roberts avenue this
winter. Mrs. Burns Is a sister OF Le'-
ter. Carrier John DennisOn, and she
heired the property from her mother
some years ago.
