Providence alone must have focused
Frank Daley's eyes upon the interior
of Anthony MASKS new house at 80
South Main street this morning at
o'clock, for had he not discovered the
fire which was burning a hole under
the stove the tolls of Mr.. Mast and
his assistants during the past few
months would soon have been undone.
A large sheet iron stove was installed
on the ground floor of the newly con
structed tenement TO enable Mr.. Masi
to continue the interior work on the
building. Underneath the stove, which
was raised from the floor by bricks,
had been placed considerable sand,
which is fine conductor of heat. The
sand had become red hot, and the green
wood floor foundation of the stove was
gradually being consumed with the
slow burning flames. Mr.. Daley. al
the time, was going 70 the city stables
from his home on South Main street
10 feed the horses, and noticing the
flames inside the home, hurried to the
fire station a short distance away and
notified the sleeping firemen. The large
Ia France truck with several men went
tu the house and the men drowned the
flames with the contents Of two hand
chemical tanks. A hole about two feet
in diameter had been burned under the
stove. In short time the stove would
undoubtedly have been undermined.
Chief Heney set the damage AZ about
$40. one Of the floor beams having
been completely burned of The green
wood material used in the construc-
tion probably deferred, greatly, the
spread Of the flames.
