4 fire broke out in the Exchange Hotel, oil
the west side Of Main street, in the uppe
part Of town. The FIRE was first discovered
in the southwest corner Of the bnilding, nea
the root, but, in less than FIVE minutes, wa:
in the attic, and had communicated to the
roof, under which it ran rapidly to the FROM
of the building. As soon as the alarm was
given, the Gold Hill fremen were on the
ground with their hose, and before the ire
had gained much Roadway, had attached the
hose to the hydrants near by, turned on the
water, and were ready successfully to combat
the flames. The boys, as soon as they got
the water 20 bear on the flames, commenced
TO deaden them. Soon after they got to
work, Confidence Engine Company, No: D.,
from the Divide, arrived with their engine
and commenced to play on the fire, which
was speedily extinguisned. The building
and furniture was damaged to the extent Of
about $500. The loss falls on Mr.. Gaines,
the owner and proprietor OF the hotel. The
fire was undoubtedly the work Of an incen-
diary, who is supposed to be a woman named
Hannah Hayes, who was employed rs cham
bermaid in the house. She has been arrested
and is having an examination.
MAN INJURED.-Yesterday, just as the
FIRE broke out, and while people were
rushing wildly through the streets to
reach the scene of the excitement. man
dashed down through Main street with
horse and wagon. knocking down and
inJuring two men who were on their way
to give assistance at the fire. One man,
whose name We did not learn, was quite
severely injured in the arm, which, how
ever, we believe, was not broken. The
other man injured, was Mr.. 4. Coleman,
who was knocked down, run over, and
very seriously cut and bruised about the
head. He was carried into DIR. Here
ford's Office, where his wounds were i'm
mediately dressed. Driving through a
crowded street at break-neck speed. dur
ing so much excitement as is always at
tendsnt at a fire, is an act that well de-
serves censure, and particularly was that
the case yesterday.
SECOND WARD MERrISo.-The meet
ing last evening in the Second Ward was
quite fully attended. Mr.. Chas. Steven
son was elected Chairman, and D. Wood.
Secretary. On motion ofMr. Wilson, the

two Town Trustees to serve for the ensu-
ing year. Only two names were brought
before the meeting-those of Messrs. n.
0. Herrick and W. D. Grey, who were
each unanimously chosen. After making
these nominations the meeting adjourned.
HORSE RACE BErTINs.-A great deal
of this is and has been "going on" in
Judge Rising's Court, during the time of
waiting for the opening of that tribunal.
We call Judge Rising's attention to the
matter; as he seems not to be aware of
the immoral practice at his bar. A great
amount of rum was lost and swallowed
on the basis of wagers made between the
Bullion and the Alpha-(that's between
the horns of the altar y on Lodi's
defeat.
CoNNIrrED.-Gillespie, the would-be
assassin, and H. Martin Smith, who is
supposed to have set FIRE to the establish
ment of Mrs. Irwin, in Virginia, were

be compelled to await the action of the
Grand Jury before trial.
ROBBERS CAPTURED.-We learn from
an attache of Wells, Fargo & Co.'S Office,
