| The sound Of Gre alarm bells is becoming
altogether too familiar Of late. After q re-
spite almost perfect, for nearly one yeau
from destructive fires, We begin to realize
them again too frequently for safety or com.
fort.
Yesterday afternoon, about two O'Clock,
fire broke out in the St. Louis House stable,
on Ripley street, between Second and
Third. 1t was burned in a hurry. The
horses we're got out, and one Of the cows in
= scorched condition, and another COW per.
ished in the flames. The property belong.
TO Edward Bersch, and is used by John
Nelchert, lessee of the above named hotel
The flames spread rapidly through the row
Of sheds and stables west Of this property,
and at one time it was thought that Park
er's Row was doomed to be destroyed. The
flames caught in the cornices, and the occu-
pants Of the south tenement, Mr. Brain.
ards family, moved out their effects in Q
hurry. The flames consumed stables be-
longing to Edwari Bprsch, H. H. Andres
en-, II. A. Runge, Henry Mittlebuscher and
John Brain; and were checked while max
ing commencement upon the stable of j.
V. Ii. Hartwig-with slight damage The
furniture and goods were taken out of sew
eral dwellings and stores in the vicinty-in
the usual careless and expensive style The
cabinet shop of Peter Goldschmidt was de-
stroyed together with tools and . consider
able amount Of finished and unfinished
work. No insurance-loss about $1,000.
A number Of bowling alleys were also con-
sumed, and other small sheds and out
houses. The barn of l.. F. Parker, Esq j,
c,ntaining 75o bushels ofcorn, was destroy
ed. His entire losses amount to 81, 900
in sured for $500
The fire was undoubtedly the work of an
incend ary. The engines were all prompt
ly on the spot, except the Fire King, which
was being repaired At the time of the alarm,
and did not reach the spot until after the
flames had been checked The Rock Island
engines were also over, and rendered ex.
ccllent service.
We understand that Mr. Richard Craig
was run over by hose cart near the corner
Of Second and Ripley, and was badly bruis-
cd and cut by the accident, SO that he will
be confined to his house for some time 10
come.
Cinders flew upon the roofs Of several
buildings block and more away, and set
them on fire, but were immediately quench-
ed, SO that no damage resulted thcrefrom.
ANorHER.-About half-past ten o'clock
last evening the Government stables on
Rock Island street, between Second and
Third streets, were discovered to be on fire.
Some thirty or forty mules, that had just
been purchased and turned in loose were let
sumed the stables and contents III about
thirty minutes. Loss about 81 900. The
affrighted mules rushed hither and thitheI,
and lest some should be lost, horsemen
were sent out on all the roads leading from
the city to hunt them ard drive them in
This fire was also the work Of an incen-
diary.
STILL ANorHBR-At about two o'clock
fire broke out in the stable on the premises
Of s. Il. Jones, on the alley above 9th street
and between Brady and Perry, consuming
in short time the stable and contents.-
This was also the work Of an incendiary.
The outrages thus perpetrated by som'
scoundrel should serve to put the people or
guard, lest they be repeated, and more cx
ten-ive damage be sustained. The Mayol
would do well to order out an additional po
lice force for few nights
