Cigar stump causes basement blaze at Postal Telegraph building
Dense smoke from a dropped cigar stub in a waste paper box in the basement of the Postal Telegraph building at 145 Penn Sylvania avenue forced thirty operators from their keys and shut down the Washington to world circuit for over an hour. Firemen, hindered by smoke, cooled the fire with a water stream after a floor hole was made. Damage was listed as slight. A messenger boy hurried down the stairs with coat and hat as onlookers cheered. Police say the blaze started from careless disposal of a cigar stump.
