Fire Devours Chantillon House as Bed Candle Ignites
A blaze in Albemarle Street destroys the Chantillon residence after a candle in bed leads to a fast spreading fire. The master is found dead with his hand raised, valuables pilfered, and two other nearby houses damaged. Examinations follow, and reports note broader military and political moves in Europe as ships and troops shift fronts.
