Fire believed to have been caused by a defective fire-place caused considerable damage to the residence of R. P. Roedell, 264 Hill Street, about 11 o’clock last night.

Members of the household noticed smoke shortly after 10:45 but were unable to see any other signs of fire. An alarm was turned into the fire department, engine Co. No. 4 responding. A slight delay was caused as the location of the blaze could not ascertain.

One of the firemen, opening the door of the pantry, found the room a blaze. The fire, however, was extinguished with chemicals, every effort being made to avoid damage by the use of water.

Damage was done to the pantry and several pieces of valuable silverware were melted by the heat of the flames. The home was but recently remolded and redecorated.

Members of the Roedell family were loud in the praise of the efforts of the fire-fighters, and stated that the firemen arrived in record time after the alarm was sent in. It is believed that much greater damage was prevented by the use of chemicals.

22x50 feet in size, 23 feet high with a fine brick front, with rustic cut stone dressing and a cornice of galvanized iron over hte top about four feet in height. This will without doubt be the finest building as far as workmanship and
elegance of design is concerned, in the city, and will be a lasting ornament to the town.
