Last evening at about half past sever
o'clock, an alarm Of FIRE was sounded b,
the ringing Of the Court House bell, ant
also by the yelling Of a few who happened
to be on the street al the time. Services
atLhe NJ. E. Church were about closing
and as the house was densely packed
there came near being stampede. Tht
building was a frame one belonging Il
Ms. sinkletter, standing directly north o
the Mound, and in one hour from the
time the Ere was discovered It was entirely
consumed. The house Of VIM. Edwards,
which stands but few feet from It, was
saved by keeping It well saturated with
water during the continuance OF the fire.
It was feared OF one time that the school
building might take FIRE, but as the night
was calm, the sparks were not carried far,
and the only damage done was the con.
Stunning Of the dwelling mentioned.
The house was occupied by colored
lamily. A good part Of their effects were
saved. The loss will not exceed $500; no
insurance.
Thisis the second fire that wo have had
within the two weeks past, and there is a
denand for some organization in order
that we may DO able to do something. II
a fire engine, is not demanded, we should
surely have well organized bucket bri.
gade and ladder company anything to be
able TO fight the tire successfully,
The services OF the N. Z. Church on
Yesterday were held in McFadden's Hall,
and will continue to be held there until
tho new church Is completed.
