FIRE IN MINERAL POINT.
THE BEAUTY AND ATTRACTION OF
THE CITY NARROWLY ESCAPED.

THE CITY NARROWLY ESCAPED.
OUR citizens were awakened to
intense excitement by the cry of
fire, FIRE, from hundred throats
on Monday morning about II o.
clock, and it was quickly discovered
that the old NJ. E Church structure,
which has of late years been csed
for carpenter Shop by Wasley u
Charles, was doomed to destruction
at the hands of the fire fend An
immense crowd soon gathered
around the scene. The men at once
pitched to work to save the ma
chinery, etc, in the shop, and also
the furniture and household goods
of Mrs. Tenant who occupied tbs
basement. Nearly everything was
taken out, all, we believe, with the
exception Of one or two machines
that were fastened to the floor in
the shop. There was no possible
chance to save TIE building, and
the stiff breeze carried the ignted
debris onto the roofs Of the new M.
E. and Episcopal churches setting
them both ablaze. Such excitement
as prevailed at this iuncture we can
not describe. These two magnificent
edifices on fire, with no fire engine
or company of any kind to come to
the rescue Were it not for the
daring bravery Of some of our young
men only the grim, costly walls
would now stand to tell what was
once there. Among those who de-
serve special credit for heroism at
the risk of life was Frank Hoare,
who let himself down the almost
perpendicular roof of the NJ f..
church by a rope strapped across
and eXtinguished a blazing flame.
Quite a large hole was burnt in the
roof of the Episcopal church, but
being of less heighth and slant could
be moro easily reached.' Samuel
Harris dwelling house, about 100
yards from the cd church, was also
set on fire bat quickly subdued.
Mr. Wasley who owned tho DO
stroyed property had it insured for
$1,000, and fortunately his loss will
not be exceedingly heavy.
An opportunity is again here to
howl about the wretched condition
of our city in case of fire. It's poor
policy to wait till half the place is
consumed before securing ourselves.
Now is the time TO do something
sensible. Where is there another
city ia the State so poorly projected!
We might occupy a column with
complaints, but refer you 10 What Il
property owner has 30 say. HIS
ideas are sound.
