The FIRE, for which an alarm was given
from box No. 16, at hall-past one O'Clock this
morning, was in the barn on the "Isand," near
Lamartine street, owned by Willard Jones,
and occupied by Morris Flynn. The fire was
first discovered by the Waterman at the Sargent
card clothing mill, who promptly sounded the
alarm, but before any assistance could arrive
the entire building was one sheet of
fame, brilliantly Illuminating the sky
and leading many to suppose that there
was large fire. The barn was well filled with
hay in the second story, and on the lower floor
there were six horses that persisted in the flames
A hack that was in shed adjoining was
drawn out be- re it was damaged. The origin
of the fire is unknown, but is supposed to have
been the work of an incendiary. The fire de-
partmcnt turned out with remarkable prompt
ness, many of the machines being on the street
before the alarm had been given once, but they
were too late TO save the building which will be
