the Engine was got to he lake and
but few moments elapsed ere two
large and powerful streams were
playing fast and strong upon the
spreading flames. The wind fresh
ening up from the northeast, added
new life to The already raging ele-
ment. Cinders were thrown on to
the roofs of many buildings in the
next block, and had it not been for
the fall OF rain we had early in the
evening, which so wet them as to
prevent their catching easily, the
probability is that the entire upper
part OF Superior street would have
been in ruins to-day.

Some seven buildings were des-
troyed before it was completely ex-
tinguished. A large frame building
on the corner of Superior ST. and
Lake avenue formerly occupied and
known as the EST. Paul saloon" the
" Globe hotel" Restaurant"
Mannheim saloon" and two dwell
ings and a laundry" All were va

the officer and seized upon two pipe
men who were handling the main
hose with the intention Of prevent
ing them in the furtherance of their
duty, unless they looked upon him
as their Commander in CHIEF and
obeyed his Instructions The police
found II necessary to put pair of
"bracelets' on the young man and
lovingly taking him in their arms
they conveyed his majesty to the
abode of all law breaking men, WI h
gentle admonItion as to his future
conduct He was left to while away
the morning hours in sleepy solitude
His next debut upon our thorough :
fare was when escorted to the city
Justices office, where he left s. and
costs for the fun he had been hav-
ing.

name again, under any circum>tan-
ces, not even to proclaim to the
world his many virtues, benevolent
qualities, etc, GALL to found within
the bounds of a $50 bilD, that we

the risk of ''broken head" which

hand, would be celconee, were it
not for the dirty Talk of the chris
tlan gentleman who cannot practice
morally or pugilistically what he
breaches. "MILL."
