FIRE IN EXCHANGE SIRE EFT.

At ten o'clock last night fierce fire broke
out at the back of the Postoffice, In Exchange
street, in the brick building occupied by j.
Michel. The flames spread rapidly, and the
brick cooperage on the opposite side of The
street caught fire and threatened. for few
minutes, to be an entire loss. At this time it
was thought likely that the whole block on
the south side of the street would be con-
sumed. The house next to Mlchell's on the
west, occupied by Fenwick & Tolbert, was In
flames on the roof, and the building on the
east, occupied by the harbormaster and port
,wardens, was also on fire. The injury to the
last named building Is not serious, and the
papers and furniture of the official occupants
were saved undamaged. Michell's building
,is Quilted, and FenwicK & Tolberts building is
badly burned. The engines were promptly on
the ground, and tits due to the aremen that
what threatened to be large fire ended In so
small q loss.
