At 5.30 o'clock last evening nn nlarm

cause was tho burning of a small
frame shanty In tho rear of 2G02 Pltts
ton avenue, near Connell park. The
building wns used by a number of
young colored men as a club house.
It Is known as the Darktown club, and
In appearance Is extremely unique, It
being built from old dry goods nnd
piano boxes. The three hoso companies
responded quickly, but as there was
not any apparent danger of the nearby
buildings catching fire, no stream was
played on the blaze and It was per
mitted to burn to the ground.
