FIRES WORK.
A Large Confagration In the Heart of
the City-Loss $4,000.

At quarter past IL o'clock last night fire. the
cause OF which Is unknown. broke out In the
row Of two-story brick buildings running from
Nos. 7s to SO on st. Charles street. and from
No. 10 to No. "a on Commercial Alley. The
roofs Of all the buildings were totally de-
stroyed. This row of buildings was owned by
Mr.. o. DeBouchell and is insured, but owing to
the absence OF the owner who Is at present In
New York, 1t was impossible to ascertain the
amount.
The greater portion of the second story OF
the row was occupied rs offices BY LAWYERS,
book agents peddlers etc The lower floors Of

besides having the roofs totally d stroyed. were
more or less slightly damaged.
At this fire the Sd wage corps, under the d.
rection of Capt Kaltne HI. showed themselves to
be most valuable body. and 1t is owing to their
exerion that the stock in the various stores
was not totally destroyed; for In less than TWEEN
ty minutes after the alarm was sounded the
corps had the stock In every store snugly Cow
cred up with their oiled tarpaulins. and this is
the reason that the damage by water Is SO very
slight.
The fire department, under the skillful man
RRement Of Chief Thomas O'Connor, cannot be
accorded too much praise for the promptness
In which they checked the fire and prevented
1t from spreading. or destroying even the lower
fours of the buildings. The Babuocks were. as
usual, promptly on hand. and lent their exer-
lions in fighting the fire.
Chief OConnor stated that as the stock in the
different stores had been 80 prom pity covered
up by the salvage corps the damage by both
