FIRE ALARM,-The alarm sounded last
night from box 80 was occasioned by chin
ney on fire at the residence of Mrs. Campbell,
on Eighth street, between G and H. No
damage done. The box used for giving the
alarm was not the nearest one to the fire. and
Chief Sullivan states this is very frequently
the case, and that the greatest care should be
exercised to have the alarm given from the
nearest box to the location of the fire, to pre-
vent loss of time to the Fire Department in
reaching the point where their services are
required, and in many cases a few moments
thus lost may cause disastrous results.
