The fire at about 12 noon was at the new marble-fronted house of J. Satter, 297 Wabash Avenue (418 S. Wabash, Today), near Van Buren Street. It was first discovered on the floor of the third-story, front room. Supposed to have been caught in a flue in the chimney. The flames were extinguished before any great damage was done. The house was nearly ready for occupancy.
