of any article of Wine we hsve ever seen is tho

FtRrs.-At al early hour last night two
chimnays caught fire at Ptper's Cove, near the
corner Of Pitt AMI Orouoco streets. The names
ware cyircuishcd, however, without creating
any geneTa alarm.
Abou, half past eleven clock last night an
alarm of fire was gwen, caused by the burning
| of large franc ice house on Washington
street near the canal, owed by Mr.. E@ell Z.
| Atwell. The whole fire department was speed
| iv on the ground, but owing to the progress,
the f,ues had made when first discovered, and
the long distance from the cnglne houses, very
| little could be done, except preventing the mr.
| from spreading to the aj JOINING frame houses.
The fire burned for long time, aud the Hy-
draulion and Hook and Ladder companies were
kept employed for nearly Two hours aud halt.
Owing to the absence Of another plug, ADD the
water having been drawn out Of the canal the
Coumbis company was unable to 20 into ser,
vice, although promptly on the ground and
read y. The loss is estimated at So GUO, and
the insurance consists Of ST 900 en- the build

moud, of which Major George Johnston Is

A Washington dispatch is authority for
the statement that the republican senatorial
caucus on Saturday has had a beneficial
effect all around. Senators understand each
other fully now, and the president has an
opportunity to know just exactly what is
the attitude Of each republican senator. In
conversation with senator's who have since
called upon him the president remarked
that there never had been any reason for q
misunderstanding between the senate and
himself, and he hoped that all misunder-
standing without reason would no longer
exist. There will be no fight, nor yet a
foot race.
