FIRE In ALGIERS.
A Fireman Injured.

Last night, at about II o'clock, fire was
discovered in the double tenement frame
cottage on Monroe street, about five squares
above the ferry landing, Fifth District (A]-
giers). The high wind prevailing at the time
added fury to the flames, and although the
gallant boys of the Fire Department prevented
the fire from spreading, all efforts to save the
building in which it originated proved futile
and it was totally destroyed.
The house was owned by Chas. Pillman,
and one side Of it was by him occupied as
residence. The ether side was unoccupied.
The building was valued at about $1,000. 1t
was insured, but in what company could not
be ascertained. Cause of fire unknown.
As the truck of Washington No. l was on
its way to the fire and the horse was going at
a rapid gate, the forward wheel struck lump
in the street and the truck was overturned,
throwing NJ. ]. Ward, second assistant OF the
company. violently to the ground and seri
ously injuring him. Medical aid was sum
moned and all possible relief given.

A BRUTAL ASSAULT.
Ruffians Assault a Citizen

On Monday night, as Mr.. John Flynn, for
merly conductor on the jackson Railroad,
was on his way home, and when on Common,
between Baronne and Dryades, two unknown
men jumped from dark place and attacked
and knocked him down, beating him over the
head and face with loaded clubs in the most
brutal manner. Mr.. James Bogart attempted
to rescue him, but was fred upon by the
midnight rufians, end narrowly escaped
being killed. It was impossible to tell who
the men were, as the hour was late and the
streets in total darkness. The would-be as
sassins fed and succeeded in making their
escape, as the police were not around. Mr..
Flynn was taken to his residence on Common,
between Franklin and Liberty. His injuries
are severe, if not dangerous, and his recovery
looked upon with doubt, as his health has
been quite feeble for some time past.

ment officials say they know nothing about
the matter. At all events they are very reti-
cent, and little information can be obtained
from them. Warrants for the proprietors Of
the establishments seized have not yet been
applied TO-.
The next step by the government officials
is anxiously looked for by the public. These
proprietors, however, affect to be undisturbed
and unconcerned, saying theysdo not know
why their houses have been taken possession
of, no reason having yet been given BY the
government officials, and they disclaim all
knowledge of ng-doing. Some of the
rectifers viii give bond as soon as the
inventories are taken and continue bu iness
while others. perhaps, will wait until matters
are fully developed.

PRICE-FIVE CENTS.

ness has been forced aside for the time and
music has taken control Of the city.
The audience that greeted the opening -
the second biennial May musical festival wa0
one OF the most fattering description. The1e
was some difficulty in seating the vast multt
tude promptly. which caused delay in tho
appearance OF Theodore Thomas who waa
greeted with applause When he mounted The
stand hearty Acknowledgements on his part
was followed by prompt commencement q
the evenings entertainment. which opened
with Brahms Triumphal Hymn.
This difficult and exacting work Of art
tested the powers Of the orchestra and chorus
to their utmost and was very smoothly and
effectively rendered. The second number On
the programme was Beethoven's seventh
symphony in A, which was rendered in .
mastery manner by the immense orchestra
under the leadership of Mr.. Thomas, and re-
ceived with storms of applause. This closed
the first part of the evenings programme.
After the intermission, as the orchesta
commenced the second part heavy storm
set in, and the pattering of the rain on tho
roof caused so much disturbance that Mr..
Thomas stopped the orchestra The audi
ence good naturedly applauding his action,
after quite q lengthy interval the performs
ance, which consisted entirely of scenes from
Lohengrin, was resumed. The Arst part vas
rendered in magnificent manner, and re-
ceived with repeated bursts OF sp-
plause. During the rendering OF the
remainder there were several Efforts
on the part of the audience to ap-
plaud, but the peculiar nature of the music
presented no interval where applause could
be INTRODUCED without seriously interfering
with the performance. The opening OF ths
festival on the whole was pronounced and
gratifying success, and was an assurance ia
the managers that their efforts were apprs-
ciated, and would be sustained by the music
loving people of Cincinnati. To-morrow
afternoon there will be series Of selections
rendered. The evening concert will consist
of the oratorio of Elijah.
