Fire in Weld.

At a little before 2 o'clock Saturday afternoon, fire broke out in 28 weld, which is occupied by G. D. P. Wilder '95 and A. H. Gould '96. An alarm was sent in, but as Box 152 was rung instead of Box 59, the fire department was considerably delayed in reaching the spot. Although the flames did not spread beyond the study, the explosion of a small amount of powder in a desk, near which the fire is supposed to have originated, communicated the fire to several parts of the room. The fire was put out almost immediately by a stream of water which was brought by an engine hose through the northeastern entrance of the building and played through the doorway of the room.
