A Fire on 7th Street That Ca Much Excitement. Fire, which started about 11 o'clock this morning, wrought great havoc in the es- tablishment of R. Nathanson, who con- ducts a fancy goods, notions and furnish- ing store at 818 7th street northwest. A clerk was unpacking a box of goods in the cellar, where a large number of empty dry goods boxes, a quantity of children’s sleighs and considerable cotton wadding were located. Chancing to glance behind him, the clerk was astounded to see a sheet of flame. No one knows how the blaze started, but several theories were advanced. One was that a heated ccal from the furnace dropped out and came in contact with the cotton, while it is possible that a lighted gas jet, blown by the wind, may have set fire to the goods near it. An alarm of fire was turned in, but be- fore the engines reached the scene an im- mense volume of smoke was pouring from the doors and windows of the structure, and at one time the smoke became so dense that it was impossible to distinguish per- sons or objects in the street for some dis- tance in the vicinity of the building. The firemen experienced great difficulty in reaching the flames, as che front of the cellar and the front of the rooms of the upper floors were closely packed with boxes and merchandise. The flames burned through the main floor, »ut were checked before they ascended higher. The stock was almost completely ruined by smoke and water. It was impossible at the ti to estimate the amount of the damage, but it was stated the loss is covered by insurance. ed ——__ The fourteenth annual meeting of the National Education Association will be held in Denver, beginning on July 9 and closing on July 12. — DIED.
