Levee Streets and fronting ON Dorsiere street. The
flames were first discovered in the third, rather
attic story of the premises, where tobacco and
sugar hogsheads were stored, and where boy
whose name we could not ascertain--was said to
be in the habit ofsleepng. The upper part of the
building was occupied by Messrs. Hall & Rodd,
commission merchants, and the ground floor by a
beer saloon, kept by G. H. Forbacher.
The alarm being speedily given, the fire depart
ment was on the ground in good time, and succeed
ed in preventing the spread Of the fire to adjoining
buildings, and confnng it to the upper portion Of
the premises.
As soon as the fire was discovered above, the
boy, who Is engaged as bottle-washer in the beer
saloon, darted upstairs and braved the flames and
smoke so daringly as to save his little stock of
clothing, and probably earnings, too, that he got
quite severely burnt about the hands, arms and
face. He was taken home by citizen.
Pretty much of what was in Hall & Rodd's Office
was saved. Forbaeher's stock is much damaged,
but not by fire, and he had no insurance. The
bnildng is worth about $250o, and is owned by
gentleman in New York, Mr.. Langridge acting as
his agent. There was great danger Of big fire
were it not for the promptitude of the iremen.
