THURSDAY EVENING, APRIL II.

FIRE. The alarm Of fire last night, about
eight;o clock, was caused by the burning OF the
large brick stable, on the corner of Fairfax and
Queen streets, owned by Mr. James Chatham.
The fire department was speedily on the
ground, and at work, and owing to the exer-
tops of its members, the flames were prevent
ed from extending beyond the limits of the
building in which they originated, which, how
ever, was totally destroyed. The fire was
undoubtedly, it is said, the work of an incen-
diary, and several small boys were arrested
BY the police last night, charged with the
crime, but soon afterwards released, as nothing
definitely duplicating them was known. Mr.
Chatham was insured for $500 in the Man
haitian Company Of New York. Messrs
Withers & Tolson, who occupied the building
80 store house, lost about 800 worth Of hay
and feed, on which the insurance had expired
lust eight hours before the fire occurred. MIR.
G. E. White lost about $500 worth Of guauo,
stored there, which was fully insured in the
Home Company of New Haven.
