At a little past 5 o'clock a. m. on Monday morning the alarm of fire was given and the fire departmentrespond- ed promptly, Flames and a dense vol- ume of smoke were seea issuing from the roof of Humes' block on Allegheny street. The fire was at once located oo the third story of the building. How it caught is not known but there seems to be little doubt of its incendiary origin. The building had two roofs the inner or original roof being of tar, while the outer or new roof was shingle, The fire had worked its way to the tar roof and between the two was a mass of seething flame almost impossible at the outstart to be reached by the firemen. The bard rains of the past week and particularly of Sunday night had soak" od the outer roof so that the fire was sometime making its way through. By the time the flames had eaten through the outer roof the ceiling of the upper story began to fall and the floors and the upper story became a mass of fire The building was doomed despite the heroig work of the fire boys, and all eff To it to the block in which it started orts to save it were futile, confine Was in | of the building bad ! fire men were directed | to its present limits. have | Hoy LE almost burying a number o : | place.
