FIRE. Yesterday morning about one
o'clock. n fire was discovered in the tan
yard of Peter Dilworth, situated on the
Lambert's point road. about one mile
from the city. The Union Hook and
Ladder Company was the first appar-
atus on the ground, and Immediately
set to work with their hooks, tearing
down the adjoining buildings to keep
the fire from spreading. The Aid Fire
Company arrived at the fire shortly after
the Hook and Ladder Company, and
was followed by the Hope. Both these
companies and the Hook and Ladder
Company used their combined endeav-
ors to suppress the flames but despite
their efforts. the tannery burned to the
ground. The stables adjoining were
also burned down, consuming three val-
liable horses. Mr.. Dilworth's loss will
be about $4,000, part of which is covered
by insurance. The fire is said to be the
work of an incendiary.
