The fire broke out at 9 o'clock this
morning in the five-story brick building
at Broadway and Franklin aenue, occu
pied by the dry goods Arm of Penny &
Gentles, and In a few minutes enveloped
the entire structure. Sparks and brands
were blown in every direction by a strong
northwest wind, and the destruction of ad
Joining prdperty was threatened. A gen
eral alarm was turned in and soon every
engine in the city was at tho scene of
oa the way there.
On the south of Penny & Gentles' the
flames communicated with the buildings
occupied by Schaper Bros., dry goods, and
the Famous dry goods store. The burn
ing area increased minute by minute, the
names gaining great headway and leaping
Across to the oast side of Broadway. In

of Penny & Gentles and Schaper Bros ,
with the exception of that op the west
had fallen. The wall between Schaper
Bros, and the Famous fell, but the flames
were quenched feefere doing much destruc

of the building opposite Penny & Gentles

the efforts of Ma comrades in their work
