ALARM OF FIRE

from large brick building 10 Random row,
known as "Sullivan's building" in which
L. W. Cox kepta gunstore. The fire pro.
ceeded from the upper story, in which a
large number of brooms was stored, and
when the first persons got there it bad
gained such Roadway that it was evidently
past cor qlering so far as that building was
concerned. Many people stood aloof under
the impression that powder was stored in
The building but when the powder. which
was in an clubhouse, vas removed to safe
place, every one exerted himself to save the
surrounding property. The exceeding still
ness of the night, and the rain which had
saturated the roofs Of the adjacent
buildings, rendered the work practicable.
We have no sort of fire apparatus, but some
of the best fre-fghters in the world, and al
though the heat was intense and the danger
from falling debris not little, these noble

Brooks, who plso labored very hard, was

On Sunday about II O'Clock the fire alarm
was again sounded and found to be at c. H.

damage of ABOUT one hundred dollars.

The contest for the Speakership
Of the next House of Representa-
tives grows more spirited and bitter
as the time for the meeting of Con-
gress approaches. 1t seems nowpret-
ty certain that Randall and Keer are
tae leading candidates, and in some
quarters it is conceded that the fight
is entirely between these two gentle
men. Randall has been opposed by
the east on the ground of his infla-
tion doctrines, and now it appears
that the opponents of Mr.. Kerr are
at work to show that he is just as
much of an inflationist as Mr.. Ran
dali. 1t is charged that Mr.. Kerr
made imitation speeches in the House
in 1874. His expressions last year,
when running for Congress, are also
brought against him, land he is repre-
Sented as having said that specie
payments could not be attempted in
ten years, and that the five-twenties
ought to be paid in greenbacks.
