DESTRUCTIVE FIRE.-Last night about II
O'Clock, a destructive fire occurred on l2tu
street, rear Mary land avenue whereby hvH
new frame houses, not quite finished, were
totally destroyed. The alarm was 81 en- from
box Is, corner of 18th street and Maryland
avenue, and the fire apparatus was quickly
on the ground, but owing to that section not
being plentifully supplied with water, for
some time nothing could be done but to attempt
to stay the flames by tearing down some of the
buildings in the vicinity. Those destroyed
were five in number. two stories high, and
orlu Rn;ch had how raI Inv
Mr.. George Hauptman, whose loss will be from
$4,000 to $4,000. The No. steamer was the
first on the ground and first to work. and the
other apparatus quickly followed and worked
manfully to stay the flames, well as did
the police, who were under the orders eff Ser
geant Hepburn.
Two of the school houses of the fourth dis
trict were within few feet of the buildings
destroyed, but through great exertions by the
firemen and citizens tbs buildings were saved.
The fencing WAS all destroyed and the doors
and blinds pulled off. The furniture was re.
moved and was somewhat injured. The sub
board of the district were promptly on the
ground and Immediately set men to work TO re-
pair damages, and in a day or two the schools,
which are in charge OF Miss Walker and Miss
Adams, will be in active operation again.
There Is but little doubt but thatthe fire was
the work Of an incendiary.
