on Sunday morning fire was discovered
in stable of W. C. Glissan, one of the
County Commissioners. The stable is
close by the Raymond & Ely, the Ken
lucky and the Newark works, bat none of
these suffered any damage, but as pre-
cautionary measure the men in the mines
were brought to the surface. Welearn
from Mr.. Glissan that a Frenchman
named Michel had been sleeping in the
stable, and on Saturday night drank
freely. Coming to the stable to sleep,
he lit candle and went out for another
drink. On his return the place was in
blaze. Mr.. Glissan met the man coming
out OF the stable, and said to him-"You
did this" The man then went off. and
we have not heard of him since There
were six horses in the stable, five OF
which MIR. Glissan succeeded in saving,
but the other Ga valuable aniInai) was
burned; as also number Of chickens.
The loss is about 81 600 to say nothing
OF the Inconvenience which will be felt
until another stable can be built. q The
fire was first discovered by George Tay-
Tor, who was running Car from the
Kentucky mine. He gave the alarm,
and the whistle of the Kentucky also
sounded. The hose of the Raymond 81
Ely was used to good advantage in throw
ing water upon the buildings nearest the
burning stable, and the men from the
Kentucky and Raymond & Ely did good
work III preventing the spread of the
flames. The scene of the fire was so far
from the Hose House, and nearly every
body being abed at the time, that the
Hook e. Ladder and Hose Companies
had hard work to reach the fire, it being
a long pull all the way up hill. The
Hose Company could not bring their
force to bear, as the fire was too far from
the nearest fire-plug. They, however,
ran out 500 feet of hose from the fire.
plug opposite Ham Lights stable, but the
fire was too far off and too high up on
the hill. The Hooks tore down the
burning building as fast as they could,
to prevent the fire spreading, 1t was
most fortunate circumstance that there
was not breath of air stirring, rs a
stiff breeze at such time would have
caused destructive coniagration and
perhaps loss of life. ,aata4.
