Fire on Holyoke Street.

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

The alarm was rung in from box 61 night before last for a fire in a large three-story wooden buiding on Mill street, just off Holyoke st. The building is occupied by five shops-the ground floor by a shell-builder and a rod-maker, the second floor by a carpenter, and the third by another carpenter and a slater. The building was valued at about $2,500 and was an utter loss. All except one lost a large part of their stock, in fact little was saved except a few shells and a large part of the slater's stock. Most of the occupants had, however, a partial insurance. The fire is supposed to have been an incendiary, there being every evidence that it was set in the rear of the carpenter's shop on the second floor. A large number of students were present and enjoyed the blaze.
