An alarm of fire called out the   fire¬ men   shortly   before 6 o'clock   Friday morning,   when it was found   that  the frame building owned by the  William i Davison Estate on Atlantic avenue, the main   business thoroughfare,   was the scene  of the   conflagration.    By hard and quick work the firemen were enab¬ led   to   keep   the  fire confined to the rooms   where it   originated,   but   the same were well   gutted.    The fire was caused  by an explosion   of a kerosene stove   in the   apartments   of   Andrew Rosasco,   an Italian, who occupies the flat   above   his  fruit    establishment. The  other   two stores in the   building I are   occupied   as a candy  store  and a barber   shop, and the flooi-s above   are occupied by other  tenants.    All of the stores and flats were well deluged with water, as the smoke penetrated the en- I tire  building and there was  every ap¬ pearance to show that the entire build- : ing   was  aflame.    Mrs.   Rosasco was 'badly   burned   about   the   hands  and ! arms, but owing to the quick response ; of the firemen and   passers-by she was ; saved from fatal injuries.    There is no j insurance on any of the  stocks, or on i any of the furniture in  the  building j which   were   more or less  injured  by i fire,   smoke and water.    The   building j is partially insured.
