left In that room was one or two

largely of metal. and everything else
had disappeared, with a few OF the
larger pieces remaining as charred
fragments
Some water ran down through the
lower floors to the ground floor of
the cigar store, but it was directed
through openings made by the fire
men so that it fell where it would do
no damage below, and the quantity
was not large. By moving few cases
of tobacco any loss of stock was pre-
vented.

tary loss, will be inconvenienced for
