floor The flames burned through the
south end of Bailey's Music Rooms and
the express office, between the ceiling

that store was slight and there was
no damage in the express
office. which was also true sof Grants
pool room, as the flames did not spread
at all to the east.

half an hour after the arrival of the |
firemen. The smoke in the hall was so
thick when DR. Montetiore discovered |
that there was fire that he left the |
building by a front window, thence
down ladder Mrs. Guyette and her
son had no trouble in going through the
hall.
Next to the telephone company, Mr..
NcI.ennan is the heaviest loser, as some
,askets were burned and he suffered
loss by smoke and water.
