THE OLD CONRAD BLOCK DESTROYED — By Fire on Monday Morning ~A Battle with the Flames Busingss Places Reuated by Fire nnd Water, Early on Monday morning, of this week, Dr. George FF, Harris discovered fire in the hallway of the old Conrad building, on Allegheny street, Opposite the Brockerhof! louse. The fire ap- peared to be burning briskly on the first landing of the maiu stairway. Realiz- ing the situation, he closed the front door (0 shut off the draught and then gave the alnrm, This wus about 4 a. m. Some difficulty was experienced in reaching the Electric Light Station to have the alarm whistle blown, In a very few minutes a crowd gathered about the building and the [lremen soon had a stream from the plug, in front The fire made great headway by rap- idly working up through the partition to the attic, and the roof was “ mass of lames.
