Prompt aud Effective Work OF the
Ere Departments.

On Tuesday night at about twelve clock
the Large Darn connected with the F armer's
Home hotel, located on seventh street took
FIRE and was entirely consumed The barn
is located in a block of wooden buildings, and
had II not been for the prompt and effective
work of the Fire Department, undoubtedly
the whole block would have been burned
Within fifteen minutes after the alarm was
sounded the steamer was in position and
throwing water. The hand engines from the
Southside came promptly to the aid Of the
steamer and together they succeeded in keei
ing the Are from 81 reaiing. The barn was
well filled with hay and straw whicl burned
SO rapidly that it was impossible to save the
tuilling; yet the stock and most ofthe NOV
bic property was got out in time to be saved
The warehouse standing a. ne side Of the
,ru and only about two feet tIom it took
FIRE several times, but a constant stream f
water pouring lpon it kept it from being
seriously in jured. The hotel on the south
side Of the barn also took FIRE several times
but the ire was .uenchei each time without
much damage being done. The loss will
probably reach somewhere near $1,000.
