 Wooden Building Destroyed Ill Q
 Midnight Blaze
 A two-story wooden building at 53-57 North Main street, owned by Miss Ella Upson, was burned to the ground about midnight on Wednes- day in one of the toughest blaZes that the Bristol fire department has had to combat in long time. All the apparatus in the city was called out in the effort to protect other buildings nearby as the doomed old structure burned to the ground.
 The two stores occupying the first floor of the building. the Rochester Bargain House, and the Union store, were completely burned out while all materials in the second floor store room were destroyed also. Nothing is left but the mere hulk or the structure. The fire was discovered about half past eleven by two girls, Miss Mary Comerford and Miss Adelaide Carpenter, who were driV- ing by. Officer Edward J. O'Connor who was passing the building on his route at that time also noticed the flames shooting from the second story and turned in an alarm from the box at the corner of North Main and Laurel streets. The officer later stated that he had heard a muffled explosion before he saw the fire it. self.
 From the arrival of the hremen throughout the early hours of the morning, the fire proved itself 10 be particularly difficult to control as the firemen were handicapped by a large sign reading Union Store,' that had to be ripped down before they could do much with the roaring inferno in the second story. By the time they had this partially under control, the first floor was breaking out with in' ciplent sutbursts that required plen. ty of attention to control The last apparatus did not leave the scene of inc fire until 2 o'clock in the morn Ing when there remained nothing worth saving of the building. Tht places about the scene however were al saved but suffered wAtsi dnmage.
