F1REs.-About O'Clock, Sunday. an
alarm Of Arc was sounded. which WAS
found to proceed from the roof Of q
building on Assembly street, near &c.
nate, the property OF Mr.. Charles Lo-
gan, and occupied by Mr.. Platte. Very
little damage was done to tho building,
only few shingles being pulled off to
allow water to reach the burning spot.
To Messrs. W. Stratton. Chas. Reckling,
O. B. Howell, and few others, whose
names we could not ascertain, belongs
the credit of preventing a serious oonHa-
grafton. Tho alarm was not very gene
raj. and, consequently. the fire engines
did not reach the locality. The FIRE
originated from the accidental burning
out of foul chimney.
Yesterday morning, OF about o. clock,
fire was discovered on the roof Of the
house at the Southeast corner Blandipg
aud Barnwell streets, occupied by Mr.
Monckton's family, and owned by Mrs.
English. The damage was small, caused
mainly by the tearing mp of the shingles
to find where the fire was. The railroad
hands put out the fire, the department
not being called out.
