Tho soa llon whlstlo nt tho water
works awoko Norfolk citizous shortly
boforo 1 oclock this morning with its
dismal flro alarm and It was not long
until tho flro department nnd a largo
number of citizens wero on tho stroots
Tho blazo was located in tho
basement of tho Romo Mlllor block bo
twoeu Fourth and Fifth streets tho
lowor floor of which was occupied by
Miss Ada Warohams milllnory parlors
Miss Waroham and hor trimmer Miss
Gortrudo Patterson slept in the room in
tho rear of tho store tho former being
awnkoned by tho suioll of smoke She
awoko hor companion nud entered tho
store whoro sho saw flames just appear
ing on tho cast sldo Thoy thou went
out tho rear door and screamed nutil tho
tiro alarm was turucd lu Although It
soomed to them a long time before thoy
got a response to their cries thoy suc
ceeded lu arousing quite n number of
peopl
Tho ladies thou got their trunks nud
some clothing out nnd endeavored to
save other valuables Miss Wnroham
however lost some monoy and Miss Pat
terson lost hor purso with all its con
tents
By tiio time tho hoso compnuies nr
rived the flro had uot made groat head
way upstairs and some claim that a fow
buckets of water would havo subdued
tho blazo without turning tho hoso looso
aud thus destroying what goods tho
flumes and smoko had not ruined An
other criticism hoard is that no effort
was made to got any of tho goods out
boforo the wator wns turned lu There
Is uo question howovor but that tho
department wout earnestly to work with
tho host intentions and succeeded iu
accomplishing tho main object that of
suppressing tho flames With time for
thinking bettor plans might havo boon
employed but at such a timo vory little
time Is ullowed for planning just tho
right thlug to do
Tho lire started in tho basement iu
which there was a good many empty
boxes and sonio waste paper but how it
wns iguited is a mystery it beiug sup
posed that it was set either intentionally
or by accident by someoue
Miss Warohams stock of millinery in
voiced nt about 1000 on which there
was insurance for 000 iu tho Rockford
The stock was totally destroyed while
tho furnishings were all badly damaged
Tho damago to tho bulldiug is soveral
huudred dollars but is fully covered by
iusurauce
The matter of bottling with tho insur
ance company has been placed in tho
bauds of Attorney John R Hays and
Miss Waroham will not know whether
sho will re engage in business here until
settlement has been made
Both of the ladies were so effected by
the excitement occasioned by the fire
that their nerves are not in the best of
conditlou today
