The slarm Of FIRE, which was sounded
about 9 o'clock lsss nigh, was caused by
the discovery Of FIRE In .the hay loft of Dr..
Madden's stable, which opens out in the
alley running east and west between
Church and Broad, Cherry and Summer.
The fire engines were on hand promptly,
but the flames had been subdued by the
time they arrived, by means of fire extin-
guishers in the hands of the Hook and Lad.
der company, the damage being but slight.
How the fire origins.ad is q mystery, the
indications being that the hsy was purpesel7
fred by some one. There were three horses
and couple of carriages Iin the building,
and il the fire had rot heen discovered soon
sitter it started, these would have been
buried up, as there was an abundance of
liyht n aterial about the stable.
