FIRE.-The alarm of fire about noon yester-
day from box 10, was occasioned by the discov-
cry OF smoke coming from the attic of the two
story brick house of Mr.. James Dyer, on the
north side of Fore street near the Portland
Co.'S office. The fire is supposed to have been
set by some children with matches while play
ing in the attic, or else to have caught around
the chimney. The flames were confined Who'll
ly to the upper portion of the house and were
quickly extinguished. The principal damage
was caused by the water, and will amount to
about $500, which is covered by insurance.
During the fire. Frank Pickett of Casco No.
5, got out of a second story window and Selling
a round of ladder that stood near with his
hands swung himself on to it. The round gave
way and he fell, but had sufficient presence of
mind to throw his arm behind him, breaking
his fall as he struck on the step upon his back
He was taken up and conveyed to his home on
Hampshire street in a carriage and DR.. Getch-
ell attended him. No DO mes were broken, al
though his arm was badly bruised, and a Sc
we're confusion on the back which may prove
serious injury although it is to be hoped that
it will not.

COMMERCE OF BACK CovE.-The number Of
times the draw of the Grand Trunk railroad
bridge was opened for the passage of vessels in
and out last year was 16O. We have not the
means of knowing the number that passed
through Back Cove Tor Tukey's) bridge during
the same time, but the number of vessels that
passed through Back Cove bridge during the
months OF March, April, May and June of the
present year was 25. These vessels were load
ed with wood, coal. pipe-clay, sand, granite
and bricks. The same ratio continued through
out the year would be 70, which would necesi-
tate the opening and closing Of the draw $50
times.
The draw of the P. S. & 2. r. 'lroad bridge
can be opened and shut in five minutes, where
as it takes thirty minutes to open and shut the
draw Of the Grand Trunk railroad bridge, and
forty-fve minutes to open and shut the draw
for the passage of vessel through Back Cove
bridge, or nine times as long as it does through
the z. s. s. p. railroad bridge, and during this
three-quarters of an hour Of detention to travel
on Back Cove bridge there is usually from 90
to 80 teams kept waiting. 1t woald seem that
the growing business wants of the city should
require that the miserable apologies for draws
to the Back Cove and Grand Trunk railroad
bridges should be replaced with suitable ones
with piers corresponding With the flow of the
current to give quick and easy passage through
the same for vessels, and relieve the great east
ern thoroughfarc of the city from this onerous
detention.
