Night Watchman Marvin saw amok Issu ing, from tha building about 1:10 o'clock rh the morning and turned In an alarm. A room en the second floor of tha old struc ture was the center of the fire. This room waa used for storing coal for tenants of the second floor. The flames had already spread to other parts of the second floor and a hole was burned in tha floor of the coal room, allowing tha flames to reach the highly combustible stock of the F. M. achadell Millinery company Immediately below. It was a difficult fire to fight because of the start it had before the firemen ar rived, because of the nature of the build ing, which la old, dilapidated and built of combustible material. But by 4 o'clock the fire had been put out. No damage waa done to the stocks In the stores on the first floor by fire, but the elegant stocks of milliner)', jewelry- and hoes were badly damaged by smoke and water. Insnrance Covers AH. Inaurance men were busily at work Thursday morning estimating losses. Every one of the stores Is fully protected by In surance. Among the physicians and den tists who occupied the second floor there were a few who were without insurance. Dr. Harry A. Foster waa the n)oat un fortunate among these. He carried full Insurance for nine years and never had a fire. He moved into the Bushman block only recently and had not renewed his In surance. The stores adjoining the scene of the fire will suffer slight damage. These are Dy ball, confectioner. 151ft Douglaa street, and 8. W. Lindsay, jeweler, 151C Douglaa street, and the Grand Union Tea company, 111 South Sixteenth atreet. , The fruit stand which waa attached to the weat side of the building waa un damaged. It waa the scene of a small blase last ' Sunday afternoon when a cigar alub thrown from a second - story window set fire to Its awning and burnt It off. Several people were asleep In the rooms on the second floor at the time: of the fire. Among theseT wss Dr. Whiteside, Who made hla; ecape down-a .laddeo which the firemen placed to the window" where he stood.-' ' . ; Ashes or Lighted Match. Chief Baiter believes the fire wsa atarted either by the placing of hot ashea In tha coal room or by someone going In there with a lighted match and allowing It to' fall Into a pile of rubbish. The building la owned by Edwin Chap man, James C. Belvln and Jesse P. Ly man, wealthy men of Boston. W. B. Melkle Is the local agent. He Is in Chi cago at present. Whether the building will be repaired or torn down Is not known. It Is not so badly damaged that It cannot be repaired. However, It la an old atructure and the corner on which it atanda Is a desirable one for a modern building. There haa been some talk of tearing down the old building and erecting a new one in lta place. It Is aald to be likely thla will be done If the preaent tenanta ahould be willing to ranoel their leases. Until the return of Mr. Melkle nothing definite can be aald on plans for the future. Boarding; Resit Barns. The firemen were just finishing extin guishing tha flra in the Bushman block Thursday morning when an alarm took them to 1R06 Chicago atreet, where the building In which Mra. Emma Cook con ducts a boarding and rooming house waa burning. The blase had started in the attic and the roof waa ablase. Tha fire was ex. tlngulshed before it had crept to any of the lower floora. A number of the room ers escaped from the house with nothing but the claihes on their backs and very little of them except their robea de nult The damage by fire waa 11,000 and water soaked the walla and furniture on the lower floora to the extent of 11,800. Edward M. Waltera, a fireman, waa struck In the eye with a lath hook during the fire. A gash was cut, but no serious results are expected. C. H. Wlthnell, building inspector, estl mates the damage to the Bushman block at 18.000. On account of the damage to the atructure being much less than SO per cent of the value of the building he can not condemn it, but says he will enforce rigid rules In the repairing of the old block, and when the repalra are completed the Bushman block will be aa safe aa any of the modern buildings.
