It originated in the gar- , Lh ret fiom a defective fine into n- wbieh the stove-pipe run from n- a room in the basement of the building used as a cook room. u Mr Hunter's family were at din. j ner when the alarm was given. Every effort was mado to save 10 j ' the furniture and jousehold ef- I ^ j. foots but comparatively little wae saved.
