But tho Patterns Savetl--No Interruption
to Business.

The FOundry building BADLY ScOrched,
But tho Patterns Ssved--No Interruptions
to Business.
About o'clock last evening dense volumes
of smoke were seen proceeding from the east
ern edge of the city. Much attention was at
tracted by the circumstance and many were
the wondering eyes cast in the direction from
which the smoke proceeded. The FIRE depart
ment was also on the alert, but, as no alarm
came in, the fremen rested on their arms, as it
were. Finally, at 2 80 P. NJ, the clarion tones
of the alarm bell struck from box IS, corner Of
Seventh and Willius streets, and the depart
ment quickly responded. The fire proved, in
fact, to be at the Harvester works, just
outside the city limits, and the box
which ought to have been pulled was No. SO.
As, however, the individual who has charge of
the latter box key had not been positively in
structed to pull the box for the works named,
the messenger had to pull box IS. The indiv-
idual at box 80 is now instructed specifically,
but he must have had web of red tape in bis
head or he would have permitted box 80 to DO
pulled.
- the time No. q engine arrived, the foundry
ated, was pretty effectuslly destroyed, . spark
among the rafters. as is supposed, having
caused the fire. The works are supplied with
a steam pump and hose. But the
hose house was locked up, and the man
in charge had gone away with the key. Then
Tue nose nau Oeen reversed, Is was fOuno When
the hose-house was burst open, and would not
couple, and all was in confusion. No. steam
er with hose cart and the hook and ladder
| truck, finally got along, and the stream from
the steamer was the means of saving the blast
| cupola. In the foundry building were the ex-
pensive patterns OF the establishment, which
were saved along with most of the sshasks."
! A temporary building will be Immediately put
up, and by the middle of this week work will
/ be resumed as usual. Tho loss will be between
90, 600 and 80, 600, which is fully insured by
companies represented by the st. Paul Fire and
| delay in the shipment Of machines, as the
work is SO far ahead as to keep the shops run
ming.
Rice Park Concert.
The Rice park concert was unusually we'll at
| tended last evening, and each number was
| rapturously encored. During the week the
| Great Western band has had an opportunity of
comparison with the renowned Bach's band, of
Milwaukee, and it was felt and acknowledged
that, the number of instrumentalists consid-
cred, the home band was equal to its imported
compeer. The following is the programme
submitted, which was excellently rendered
throughout:
