Mrs. Carrie Walter, who k.-pt '
boarding house hi the tenement por
tion of the building. In the attic of
which the (daze started, carried an
Insurance of SSOU on her household
goods. These were about ruined, some
by Hre. but principally by water.
The building Is owned by Dr. l K.
Jenkins, n former resident of Cnihun
dnle, but now a surgeon in the I'nlted
States army at a post In Alabama. The
roof and the lop lloor were burned
away. The building was Hooded

iugs and walls. The cost of repairing
will likely be a lliousand dollars. The
Insurance is ample In lids case.
Tlie origin of Hie Haze mil only lie
placed in a defect hi the Hue. It
started In the attic. through which a
stove pipe anil a chimney pass. The
first intimation Mrs. Walter had of
danger was vh u some person knocked
nt the door and warned her of the lite
overhead. The Humus by this time
were bursting through the utile win
dows. No one Occupied the attic, and
the last time any person was on tills
lloor was on Thursday last. Mrs. Wal
ter explained last night, when mi er

stance, coupled willi the absence of the
other hazard of lire, electrical wiring,
loads to the belief or tile chimney or

The alarm was turned In from bnc
til. Main anil Salem avenues about T
o'clock. When the Columbia and
Mitchell companies arrived the Maze
had broken through the roof and was
making menacing headway. The woe
ful lack of hook and ladder assistance,
which has been too often fell In recent
tires in Carbondale. greatly handicapped
the llremen. Almost fruitless efforts to
iach the blaze continued mull the 'op
lloor was consumed. Then tie? four
streams became ll'eclive and the lire
was drowned out.
Tin- Walter apartments were Hooded,
and then the water poured onto th
stock in Clark' dins' store, until the
lloor was covered to the ill pth of sev
eral inches. Fortunately heavy ran
vas coverine. were procured from
Stansbury's clothing store nearby, and
by means of these considerable of the
stock was protected from tlie water's
downpour.
Tlie Walter family were rendered
homeless, but were cared for by neigh
bors. The efforts of the firemen, who were
driven liaid, were elfectlve in ounllnlng
tlie blaze, and saving the closely-built
structures on either side.
