FTRE.-Last night at half past ten
O'Clock an alarm OF fire was sounded and
the entire fire department was soon in
motion. Some of the bells gave signals
for the Fifth ward, some for the Sixth
Others for the Seventh. This produced
confusion so that those in charge OF the
engines hardly knew where to Co. The
fire was ultimately ascertained to be at
the extreme southern end Of the Eighth
ward, The property burned was au old
stable belonging to man named Roup OF
Group, our informant could not say which.
1t was OF not much value, so that the loss
will not prove a serious one TO the owner.
Some better system OF giving the exact
location Of fires will have to be devised, as
that in use at present is next to useless,
It's unreliability was clearly shown last
night Fortunately, tho property de-
stroyed in this instance was of small value,
but such confusion might cost hundreds
of thousands of dollars one of these nights,
Five minutes delay in reaching a fire is an
important matter, as it might result in the
destruction Ola vast amount OF property,
More be accomplished in extinguish'
ing fire in is inciplent stage within the
period mentioned than in the succeeding
twenty minutes. We believe this Is q
pretty well established fact, and some plan
should be adopted by which prompt and
reliable information ofthe location Of fires
can be communicated to the several on.

tainment given Thursday evening in the
Catholic Institute Hall by the Wheeling

particular. The attendance was entirely
too large for the hall Every available

turned away for want of accommoda.
tons The bill was a rich one, and was
almost faultlessly brought on the stage.
Frank Coyle and G. A. Bernard excelled
themselves; in fact each member Of the
Association acquitted himself handsome.
" Frequent and rapturous applause
testified the hearty appreciation Of the
Audience.

had to be turned away, Thursday even.

bill will be reproduced this evening. Go
