. morning, fire was discovered in the stables
belonging to George Hill, ESD, on Prospect
near High street. There were two stables-one
brick, the other frame-both OF which were
destroyed, together with q quantity OF hay
harness, and wood. The loss will not exceed
$1,000. The fire was evidently the work of an
incendiary. The firemen were out promptly
with their apparatus, and rendered mportan,
service in preventing the spread Of the flames
The police also were on the spot, aiding the
firemen and protecting property. The fire
alarm telegraph does not extend to George
town, consequently the alarm did not reach the
Washington fire department.

thinks his money safe enough.
