BLIGHT flRE-
Through the presence of mind of the
neighbors, what might have been a disastrous
l ie ".is jMcvcnieu ai nie isevv York Noveltv
itorc yesterday afternoon. Shnrtlv
uMoci smoke wns seen issuing from the
Kcann story windows, and immediately they
located tlie place of the fire, and by applica
tion nf a few buckets of water extinguished
tlie same. Just how it originated is a mys
tery, as the stove pine and flue were found
to lie perfectly solid. The flooring and joist
were untied at a distance of five feet from
'lie pipe, and in addition to this the goods
were dama ed by smoke. The only possible
theory for the same is that a new lire had
wen started, and it is supposed that the pipe
became hot and ignited some paper which
covered a table near by. The loss was fully
covered by insurance.
