STABLE DESTROYED.
-Four Horses PerI.h In tho FIanlss.

HOhH h0Fee1 EeF8n IN the EhaMAHae z 7
Last night, about 11'30 o'clock, Watchman
employed on Delaware avenue, near Poplar
street, discovered that the stable OF John A.
Bruner wac on FIRE. The building was situated
in the lumber yard owned by Mr.. Bruner, ex-
tending from Beach street to Delaware avenue,
and north of Poplar street.
The fire had evidently been smouldering for
some time, and was only discovered when the
flames burst through their wooden barriers. An
alarm was speedily sounded, but before the
hremen could reach the spot the entire structure
was doomed.
The building was frame about one hundred feet in
length and two stories high, and attached were
sheds used for wagon houses and q shingle-shaving
depot There were stored In the sheds three large
lumber trucks, and In the stable were SIX valuable
horses. But two OF the animals were rescued, the
others perished In the flames. From the stable the
fire communicated TO several piles OF lumber one Of
which was also destroyed. The surrounding houses
on Beach and Poplar streets, which are mostly all
frame, were at one time in imminent danger OF de-
BtructiOn.
The roof OF the building occupied by Mr.. Bruner
as counting house and sawmill on the river side
Of Delaware avenue, caught several times, but the
spread OF the names. Meanwhile sparks gnited the
roof Of the rolling-m OF Messrs Verree Mitchell,
on. The stable was no doubt fred by some prowlng
vagabond as there was neither light nor lamp used
In the place. The loss viii not fall far short Of s5OOO
DEMOCRATIC wuIsKY.--Among the many
Emeralders who left the green hills of the
"Ould Dart" was David Conners. Now when
David paid his passage and set sail he knew no
more about "Sambo" or the fifteenth amend
ment than does Louis Napoleon OF Mayor Fox's
policemen. Arriving here safe and sound, he
was somewhat disappointed at the condition of
things. In the first place, gold was not found
in the streets, and, secondly, the "bloody
nagurs" had as good right TO work at hod-
carrying as he.
OF course his warm blood boiled, and he
swore by ''howly murther" that he would ''bate
every one of them." Accordingly he yesterday
stepped into Democratic grog-shop, and, fill
ing himself with kill me quick, sailed out in
search of the foe. At Eleventh and Locust
streets stood two-horse carriage, and on the
box thereof sat genuine descendant of "Ham"
with countenance as immovable as that of a
statue. "What the divil are We grimm at7" said
David. To this Africa made no response. The
question was repeated, with like result, when
the now thoroughly irate Hibernian leaped on
the seat, and, dragging Africa to the ground,
proceeded to give him what Paddy gave the
drum.
Now Mr.. Coachman was blessed with good
pair of lungs and he used them to such an effect
that an officer soon arrived, who took David 10
the station house, and Alderman Morrow held
him in $500 bail to answer.
