ANOrHER FIRE.

Last Saturday morning at o'clock another
fire broke out in Albany and before it could
be checked the furniture factory belonging
to Mr.. Jas. Dannals, on tho north side oi
Second street, between Ferry aud Washing.
ton, was completely demolished. IS also was
the agricultural warehouse used by A. Nj.
Roop adjoining the factory The fire it is
thought originated in the upholstery depart
ment of the factory. and it spread west TAX
ing the factory and Mr.. Roop's warehouse,
but was stopped at that place by the almost
supcrhuman efforts Of the tiremen, although
at one time the next building-Mr Yoang's
large warehouse. situated only feet frem
Mr. Roop's-was on fire for distance of 60
feet. The fire raced through the factory
northward taking everything clean until it
caught into the rear end Of the building oceu-
pied by the Chinese store. Here the tiremen
made brave stand and succeeded in extin-
gushing the flames after the entire roof had
been burned Off In going east the fire broke
through the rear end of Mr.. Danaals' brick
building into his salesroom where it made
sad havoc among his beautiful furniture. and
it was not checked then until everything in
the lower story was total loss. The upper
story was saved by the same stream which
was playing ON Mr.. Young's warehouse as
whenever tire appeared at the upper windows
Ia the brick the stream was thrown entirely
over the burning factory and into them. At
the start OF the fire several valuable moments
were lost in setting No. o's engine; it was
brought to the Monteith race and when just
ready to "unlimber" it was ascertained that
there was no water in the flume The engine
had then to be taken = block away and the
hose relaid, and in the meantime the fire had
attained considerable headway. Had this
not happened the loss would have been at
least 5000 less than it is, and this fact
should cause our city authorities to pay strict
attention to the water supply.
The losses as near as we can get at them
now are about as follows:
Jas. Dannals-on his brick building. about
$500, fully insured in the Ph@nix: stock Of
furniture, $4,000. insured in Phoenix fer
