The fire was .confined‘to the dressing room where it eterfed and narrow hall adjoining. -The dressing roomhad no window in itand_but one door, and the ere double, _with the four inch. between filled with sawdust, explains the fact of the fire burn~ ing ia the room so long before esvaping to the hallway, when. the door ad perned through. ‘There was no fire re else in the hoase, but the en- tre building wes filled with emoke from top to bottom; ard. water was thrown into almost every. room. in the house.

The house will be put in repair at once, and large force of men were at. work all the afternoon, sciubbing and cleaning out tho water ‘and debris.
