substantial structures. and ornaments to
| the city front. We expect some day to see
| similar sheds constructed by the city along
| the entire business front for the free storage

| to Commerce street. 1t was found lmpossl-
BILE to force open the Commerce street doors
at first, and the fire had gained consider
able Roadway before the tiremen were
able to get well at work upon IT.
Shortly after nine o'clock the state OF affairs
assumed SO threatening an appearance that
| the Chief Engineer turned i'll general
alarm. bringing out the whole available
force of the Fire Department. By the ut
most exertions the fremen succeeded in
combining the flames to kautman's building,

ing-No 81. occupied by o. F. Dunbar as
hide. wool moss and cotton establishment,
and No. Sc, occupied by Du S0uchet Il Gil
bert, commission merchants-were on fire
in their upper stories.

its contents and Mr.. Kaufman's loss will
probably reach $4,000. The building was
owned by parties in Philadelphia, for whom
George A. Fosdick is agent. 1t was valued
at $4,000, and was insured, but in what
company we were unable to learn. con-
siderable portion of Mr. Kaufman's stock
