LOCAL INTELLIGENCE.

The FIRE YEsTERDAY.-An alarm of fire
was turned in from box "a, at Twelfth and
G streets, at $3.50 yesterday afternoon, caused
by the burning of a small wooden building
on the north side of + street, between Thir-
teeDth and Fourteenth, belonging to Michael
Eagan. The building was almost destroyed
before the fire engines could reach the place,
and could not be saved. The house and
furniture were totally destroyed and were
insured for 5000, which amount was about
800 less than the loss. The buildings imme-
diately adjoining also caught fire and were
considerably burned and the furniture in
each of them was removed The one on the
east, belonging to NJ. r. Walton, was dam
aged to the value of $500, and was
insured. The one west of the ruined
house is the property of Mrs. Stafford,
and was damaged to the extent
of 500, being fully insured. The fire can be
cited for many day to boys as an evil result
ing from playing with fire, smoking cigar
cites, handling matches, and all other boyish
offenses. Mr.. Eagan's little boy, about A
years old, has recently shown a fondness for
the society of older boys, who taught him
how to swear, smoke and hide away from
home. His parents have undertaken to coun-
teract this evil, and for several days past
have kept him at home Yesterday afternoon
the youngster was undressed, slowed away in
a bedroom, and for the time being for
gotten. About an hour afterwafd a
neigbbor discovered that the house was on
fire and gave the alarm. When Mrs. Eagan
tried to enter the room to rescue the boy she
found the door was locked inside, and the
little fellow refused to come forth until the
heat caused him to change his mind and leave
the burning room. He innocently admitted
that he had found a match and set the bed
on fire. He was taken across the street,
where, perched upon the railing of a balcony,
forgetful of his sleeping costume, he watched
with great interest the movements of the
fire engines and the crowd, that we're amused
at the little fellows appearance and childish
Ignorance of the loss he had caused.
