Smoke pouring into his bedroom over
the NJ. & G. restaurant, owned by Peter
Maberini and Luke Gallagher, aroused
Henry Landy, the tailor, early this
morning, and after donning his clothes
he set out to make an invest lgatlon.
From the storeroom at the rear Of the
restaurant volume of smoke was
pouring he discovered. so he set out TO
ring a fire alarm. Not being familiar
with the location, he notified Arthur
ST. John, who was on night duty at
the Jones & Nye livery stable. From
box II the alarm was sounded. and
before it had completed the third round

flames were spreading all about, and
for a time the situation seemed Sc
rious, as the fire had reached the roof.
Two large streams, one directed IN
side the room and the other to the
roof, soon extingiished the flames. The
about was sounded about 20 minutes
after the alarm had been sent in, or
about 1905 a. m. Investigation showed
that the flames had started from a
barrel OF rubbish in the center OF the
room. had reached to the large beams
about the ceiling and had an excellent
start for costly fire. Max Wiley,
who was the last 20 leave the restau-
rant about 1880, could give no infor-
nation leading to the cause OF the
ignition Of the rubbish aside from the
fac, that a lighted cigarette stub
might have been in the sweepings emp.
tied into the barrel before closing time.
The chief damage was 70 the beams
and door, and thi, was but slight. Two
barrels Of soap powder were destroyed

by insurance.
