FIRE THE alarm yesterday evening was
caused by fire in the attic of one of Mr. Bris-
GOES brick buildings, on Ninth street opposite
the Centre Market The flames were extin-
guished before much damage was done.
Mr. Briscoe supposes that it was the work of
an incendiary, as there had been no fire in that
part Of the building, nor any fue or chimney
near the place where it originated. Had it
broken out few hours later, as was probably
the design of the villain, the whole row might
have been consumed.
STILL ANOTHER About half-past IL o'clock
this morning, fire broke out in a stable owned
by Mr.. James Foy, in the rear of the United
States Hotel. Owing to the quantity of hay
and other light materials within, the stable, and
shed adjoining, were burned to the ground
before the engines could be got to work The
stable was occupied by colored man named
Beckett, hack-driver, on whom, with the sis
tiers of Mr.. Foy, the loss will fall pretty heavily
1t was undoubtedly set on fire. Surely the sue
cess of the last few days makes the rascals who
do these things quite bold

CHARLES F. OTTNaER, clerk in the post

and Tuesday examined before Commissioner
Edward d. Ingraham. (This mail, unopened,
had been found in his coat pocket, as it hung
in the offce.) The evidence for the govern
ment being closed, ]. w. Ashmead, district
attorney, asked that the defendant be bound
over to take his trial before the United States
district judge under the provisions of the act
of I'd March, 1926, relating to the post office.
Mr.. Gibbons thought there was not sufficient
evidence to warrant binding over to court,
but the Commissioner said he thought q prima
faeie case had been made out, and he would
therefore bind the defendant over to take his
trial at the next term of the United States dis
trict court in the sum of $4,000. Bail was i'm
mediately entered.
