FIRE IN COMMERCIAL ALLEY.-About ten
o'clock last night, very black smoke was
noticed issuing from the upper portion of
No. % Commercial alley. The third and
fourth story windows fronting the alley
were soon afterward filled with flames and
smoke, but the ever-prompt firemen lost no
time in sending up good quantity of water,
which article was not scarce. Apparently,
the fire commenced in the rear portion of
the building, next the rear of the Academy
of Music, and for short time, ragged with
considerabl BILE force.
The lower floor is occupied by Mr.. j.
Buckley stationer, whose entire stock must
be entirely ruined by water. The second
and third floors were used as offices by
several parties, whose different names could
not be definitely ascertained. All the fur
niture and goods in the tenement are nearly
a total loss For a time it looked as if the
Academy would suffer, but the tiremen sue
ceeded in keeping the flames in the single
building. No 81, used as offices, suffered
to some extent. No. IS, real estate agency
and other offices, also sustained considerable
loss by water. The Academy will have
it's regular performance tonight, so it will
be seen that that building escaped injury.
There is no estimating the loss.
Mr.. Buckley is in New York.
