 Threatened By Fire
Sparks From an Incinerator Blamed for Resultant
 Scare-Familes Make Quick Exit From House

Two automobiles and part of c garage and warehouse of the Albere Furniture O., Inc, in the rear of 49 Canal street, were damaged by Q fire last night.
 Lieut.. Legge said the fire started in @ business coupe owned by Charles Hennelis of 96 Cooke street and the blaze was discovered by Pa. trolman Joseph Mccarthy as he en- tered the driveway leading to the garage. MT. Hennelis is 6 relative of I. N. Albert, president of the fur- niture company.
 AS Patrolman Mccarthy entered the alleyway, he said he saw smoke issuing from the garage. He im- mediately went to Box { at South Main and Grand streets and turned in the alarm.
 Fire Chief Thomas Cavanaugh directed the work of the seven corn- panies which responded. Bremen sprayed water from the Canal street side of the building before the fire was brought under control.
 One of the cars in the garage was removed by flremen before 1t was damaged, and flremen prevent ed the flames from destroying the Hennelis car. Bremen also moved three large trucks which were kept in an adjacent building, as c pre- cautionary measure. Bremen were hampered for some time as they sought to control the flames which appeared for 8 time as if 1t would sweep out of control, by the heavy, choking smoke.
