Extensive Fire.

Yesterday afternoon a fire broke out in
the stable OF Mr.. John Warner. on the alley
back Of his house on Ohio Street The
alarm being rung the engines were on the
ground in an Incredible short time, and
battled, as only Terre Haute fremen can,
to check the devouring elements, but be-
fore the engines got 10 work the stables of
Mr.. j.. G. Warren and DIR. r. NJ Donnelly,
as well as the wood house of the latter,
were envcloped in flames.
Three heavy streams were quickly
brought to bear. and the progress of the
flames was stayed. The stable adjoining
Mr.. Warren's, as we'll as that of DIR. Wood,
was on fire several times, boa both were
saved, with slight injury.
The origin of the fire is Involved in un-
certainty, but is supposed TO have arisen
from a spark from fire in the back yard
Of one of the families in the row.
We have never seen better work done
by the fire companies.
The Mohawks, though frst en- the
ground. were compelled to run to the canal
for water. In the mean time, the Vigo got
10 work and threw the first wafer The
Mohawks. after borrowing hose to reach
the fire, did very effective work, showing
what they can do when provided with ma
shinery worthy of them, and Of the city.
The Northern Liberties, notwithstand-
ing their "long rum" were on hand and
threw perfect food Of water on the fire.
Each company We'd with their rivals In
their heroic efforts to quench the flames,
and each did themselves honor, and took
step higher in the confidence and admi-
ration of our citizens.
! 1t is unnecessary To- say that the alert
Hook 4 Ladder company. as ususal, led
the way 10 the FIRE, aud as nobly did their
duty.
The entire row Of private dwellings
| fronting the Terre-Haute House was in i'm
inent danger, and was only saved by the
prompt and persevering efforts of the fire
department.
The various losses are about as follows.
L. G.. Warren, $3.50; p. NJ. Donnelly
$500; j. Warner, $3.50; DR.. Wood, $3.50.
DonnelIy was insured for $500; the 9th
ets were uninsured.

Of slave labor. and therefore, he trusted ht

Messrs. Bidwell and Smith made some
