Last Friday evening Hampden came very near losing her hotel, by fire
route. The origin of the fire was in a basket sitting on the piano
in the dining room into which a match of cigar stump had been carelessly
thrown. Some unusual noise up stairs woke Mrs. Carroll up and she
rushed into the dining room. Seeing the burning basket she grabbed
it and threw it into the street. The piano was just starting to
catch on fire and few minutes longer would have cause a very disastrous
result.
