The Fares Last Might. q
The first alarm, about ii O'clock, was sent
from the head Of Canal street. A barrel
containing some combustible material was
found sending out some smoke from the
hardware store on Common street, which
runs through from Fulton to New Levee
streets. No damage resulted, except the
nremen expended considerable steam and
energy.
The bells had scarcely finished sounding
when an alarm was sent from the parish
prison. The fire commenced Ia a building
on Carondelet walk, near Irene street,
| called the Oriental coffeehouse, which was
entirely consumed, and also the ad-
joining house, twostory frame tene-
ment. On the swamp side of the
Oriental is the large hardware store of P. A.
Lanauze, brick structure, which suffered
from a warming and doubtless was some
what damaged by water. One of the places
destroyed was clearinghouse, in which
cigar vendor had small stand. 97
One of the unfortunates was not long ago
robbed of $500, and the accused was before
the criminal court only a few days ago.
OF course 1t was quite impossible to as
certain any particulars so late III the night
1t was not stated how either of the fires
originated. E

not be destroyed as the wooden ones are.
| The superintendent's house, the dormitory
for the employees, the paint shop, the work

fire; there are in convenient locations three
| large wells, nine cisteFns of five thousand
gallons capacity, and one cistern which will
hold three thousand gallons. A track leads
from the main track into the work shops,
so that the cars can be switched Off at any
moment for repairs. All the houses are to
be covered with slate, and the total cost

sand dollars.
