SACRAMENTO, Aug. l1th.-About z
o'clock, P. NJ, q fire broke out in the
wooden-ware factory of Nicholas d
Co., on @ street, between Front and
Second streets. The fire department
were promptly on hand, but were una
BILE to prevent the fire, famed by a
strong south wind, from spreading to
the planning mill and sash factory of
Hartwell, Hotchkiss & Stolker, cor
ner of @ and Front streets, and to the
residence of Nichols, corner of Second
and q streets. The fire was so hot
that the tiremen could hardly work to
advantage, but the large trees in the
vicinity to some extent assisted them
to check the flames and flying cinders,
and enabled the department to confine
the fire within two blocks of where it
started. The fire worked southwark
against the wind and attacked the
dwellings and Outhouses on Second
street, between p and @ streets, burn
ing George Hunts barn and an unoc-
cupied building of DIR. Harkness, Pc
ter Hockwel's Rising Sun boarding
house, and frame dwelling house
i'm the rear. The fire then spread to

side of @ street and communicated to
several buildings. The following were

frame house; Drew's office; Chinese
Laundry; residence Of Mrs. Johnston;
the storehouse and stable of Hartwell,
Hotchkiss & Stolker, containing a
large quantity of lumber and ma
chinery and another small building.
To prevent the fire from spreading
further North, frame building was
pulled down. A large crowd gathered
and eXerted themselves successfully
in removing the portable property.
The exempt firemen also did good SER
vice. The railway authorities re-
moved all their cars from danger and
sent locomotive with water car and
a force pump, which did splendid SER
vice. 1t was managed by number
of old volunteer boys. The telegraph
poles were burned down and railway
travel was cut off during the fire. A
number of minor accidents occurred,
but none of serious nature. AT
midnight the engines were still at
work. The damage is estimated at

lively light. Nichols & Co.'s loss on
