The families of Vito DiFronzo and Joseph .Pascio were routed from bed and forced to ice scantily clad shortly after 12 o'clock last night when ire broken out in the cellar of their home at 61-63 Oak street and spread through the partitions to the third floor, causing damage es- timated at several hundred dollars. z A quantity of paint and wall paper was stored in the cellar Of the house, which is three stories high and contains six tenements. and 1t is the theory of the fire department that combustion in the paint set fire to the walls, as it was plainly evident that the fire started in that part of the building. The rafters were badly burned and the lack of fire stops al- lowed the flames to make headway, breaking through on the first floor.
 Four of the six tenements in the Pascio families living on the second and third floors on the side where the fire was. It was necessary to chop through the plaster in some places, and the usual water damage was done to the building and con- tents. The building is owned by Pasquale Toscano of 146 Beaver street.
