Wednlesday night about 7.30 o'clock,
. when he diecovered fire in the unoc
a cupied tenement of Mrs. J. H. Van

there was an Epworth League meet

close by, to whom he reported the

r flames, which had gained little head
way, were extinguished with a -few
buckets of water.

was the building unoccupied, but the A'
Ssooty remains of the paper used in t,
r starting the fire were discovered. Pl
