Washington's No. 15 Engine
Company is given credit for saw.

from destruction by fire last night.
For two hours they pumped water
from the river, thereby preventing
the flames from reaching $4,000
gallons of kerosene.
The fire was confined to q two
story frame dancing pavilion, which
was completely destroyed. Before
the arrival of the District appa-
ratus, guests of the hotel and resi-
dents of the neighboring communi-
ties had formed a bucket brigade
and were fighting the blaze.
The blaze started at $50 o'clock
last night and continued until after
midnight, burning the pavilion, q
81 800 oyster crushing machine
and $500 worth Of musical instru
ments belonging to Leroy w.
Maceron's orchestra.
The only apparatus on the scene
were two pieces from No. is
Engine company. They made the
run in one hour and 15 minutes.
They were driven by e. HI. Garrick
and G.. M. Heigh and did not get
back to this city until nearly 3
o'clock this morning.
Fire yesterday afternoon in the
Vendome Hotel, Pennsylvania Ave.
and Third st. N. W., caused be-
tween 40 and so guests. some
scantily clad, to rush to the street.
The blaze started In grease pot
in the kitchen and quickly filled
the place with dense smoke. Ahram
Midas, manager and one of the
proprietors, cut his hand when he
broke the glass OF a fire alarm
box.
Many of the guests were fully
clothed when they made their way
to the street, Others, howeTe.
had been resting and were forced
to throw neglige over their under
clothing. One woman appeared in
a kimono, barefooted. She was
carrying her slippers and q bottle
of perfume.
Damage was set at $4,000.
