About ten o'clock last night fire broke out in
what is called the Horse Market Stables, situated
on the east side of Jones' Falls, short distance
south OF Plowman street. At the time the fire was
discovered the flames were breaking out from every
part OF the building. There were some five or six
horses in the stable, which were however, got out
safely by the police and the neighbors. The sta
bles adJoined the houses Plowman street. one of
which was burned considerably in the upper sto-
ries. This house was occupied by Mrs Spelman,
from which there was a door in the second story
leading to what wasn't one time cockpit. which
adJoined the stables. Mrs. Spelman was in bed
with two young children at the time, and the
flames, bursting through the door, frightened her
so much that she precipitaely fed into the street
IN her night clothes, crying for some one to save
her little ones.
Mr.. Lemuel j. Bandel, Foreman of Company No
), hearing her screams, quickly procured ladder,
ascended into the second story, and rescued both
children just the flames were attacking the
bed upon which they were lying. In this heroic
act Mr.: Bandel was considerably burned about the
neck, having his whiskers. and hair completely
singed.
The property belonged to Mr. John Coulson, and
the horses to several parties who had them there
on livery. The amount of insurance could not be

the heavy streams of the steam engines. The fire
