NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. ten o'clock last
night there was an alarm of fire, which
proved to be in Callers Court, in the draw
ing room of the Chattanooga Railroad Com
pany 1t was discovered by Sergeant
Flanagan, of the Metropolitan Police force.
Captain Schneider and Officer Wiegan at
once made their way to the room, together
with Sergeant Flanagan. The fire was not
yet under way, and was speedily extin-
guished. The only things injured were a
chest of drawings and plans; these were
slightly damaged. The fire is supposed to
have originated from discarded tobacco
pipe, which feeling neglected and forlorn,
kept smoking on its own enterprise, and be-
ing unused to liberty, precautionary ignited
aneighboring piece ofpaper. Had tnot been
for the discovery of Sergeant Flanagan,
and the prompt action of Captain Schneider,
and officer Wiegan, there might have been
serious damage.
Major Williamson desires to express the
thanks OF the railroad company to the
members of the police force and fremen,
for their promptness on this occasion. 1t
was fortunate for the numerous maps,
plans and drawings in this room, that the
fire was got under without the necessity of
a stream from any of the engines, for the
misfortune would have been the same
whether the plans would have been drowned
or burned. Fire companies Nos. 5 and -
