NeRerlny evening, about o'clock, al alarm
OF nTs was sounded from box o, caused by the
burning Of some houses In u row on Third street
east, The origin Of the hre was the careless
lighting Of uTu In tho first building by two
children, who were loft alone by their mother,

and ignitlng the same, The blaze, owing 10 the
cOmbustihle material Of which the building was

plug on Maryland avenue some distance from
the IRE, steady stream was thrown on tho
names, and SION alter they were eXtnEulshed.
