FIRE.-Fire broke out at 80 last evening
in building on the corner of Portland and
Brattle streets, owned by VIM. A. King and
occupied by him as carriage trimming shop
and by Dodge Bros, carpenters, the latter firm
using the second story. There was little de-
lay in sounding the alarm, and in the mean
time the flames made rapid progress through
the wooden structure The fire department,
however, was remarkably prompt in answer
ing the alarm, but the firemen were too late to
save the building. The house of Joseph M
Plummer, on the opposite corner, was some
what scorched, and tho carriage factory Of
Talbot & Moulton, adjacent to the burning
building, on the other side, was slightly in
jured. The fire originated in the carpenter
shop, bnt from what cause was not ascertained
We judge that the owners lost all their stock
and tools. Mr.. King saved most of his stock
He had an insurance of 5000 on the building
and his stock was covered by another policy.
The Messrs BODICE had policy of $500 on
their stock and tools.
