Defective flue, -- and a pretty high price to pay for a piece of poor workmanship. The Sun says: "The fire, though and expensive experience, has clearly demonstrated some things that will prove incalculable benefit in the future. We have learned that however elaborate and efficient may be the fire extinguishing machinery, it is of little value without organized and thoroughly disciplined companies. It was demonstrated that the man of muscle can do much more efficient service than the man of ideas."
