turned in BY onicer Ramsey. but there
was no response, and all efforts to get

the hremen and assistants by this
means. pistols were fired and men ran
through the streets spreading the
alarm. Finally these things took effect
and the sleepy people turned out.

were discovered TO be confined to the in
side Of the building, and immense
volumes Of heavy black smoke accom-
panied by bursts Of fiery tongues

the windows and through the roof OF
the building. some officers and citizens

broke open the door. when the flames,
hitherto confined, burst out In enorm-
Gus volume with cloud OF the most
s~uffocating smoke. The horses, which
