The the did nut reach here, hill the store was fairly deluded hy water. The loss will very likely lcpi-esent tin- full mount of Insurance. Mrs. Carrie Walter, who boarding house hi the tenement portion 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. K. Jenkins, 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 IhrotiRhotit willi water, damaging eeil-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 some person knocked nt the door and warned her of the lite overhead. The Humus by this time were bursting through the utile windows.

No one Occupied the attic, and the last time any person was on tills lloor was on Thursday last. Mrs. Walter explained last night, when mi errand brought her there. This circumstance, coupled willi the absence of the other hazard of lire, electrical wiring, loads to the belief or tile chimney or till'' stove The alarm was turned In from bnc til. Main anil Salem avenues about o'clock.

When the Columbia and Mitchell companies arrived the Maze had broken through the roof and was making menacing headway. The woeful 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 several 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 neighbors. The efforts of the firemen, who were driven liaid, were elfectlve in ounllnlng tlie blaze, and saving the closely-built structures on either side.
