Yesterday was ody VI oal0Aoi uh0
alarms. and as il was cold, surly day, and
the people had just had taste Of an I'M
pleasant and expensive fire. everybody was
on the alert to catch the first sound of the
bell. 1t came several times. The hrst
one was early in the forenooss, and thsit
came from the vicinity of Canada and
Tenth streets.

old bell sounded and everybody started
to fad oHt wlsere box siEty-four was.
When they did learn everybody began to

word was brought III shat the alarm was
not al alarm.
TIE THIRD TINE.
About 3 o'clock the Market hall bell
sounded forth what was sup
alarm. This time it was box 16 that made
the hair stand up like auiEs upon the fret
full po2capine. This brought out the de-
partmept again and 1t assembled around
the well-known "Rogers' bloch" whence so
many similar alarms have been many
times before given The hook and ladder
and all the steamers came putting up to
the spot, and began looking around in
quiring,y for their old friend the fire

that same old chimney en- Rogers block"
that has SO often heretofore called out the
department. The chimney was still there,
and it lifted up its proud head above that
imposing pile Of stone and brick with the
old tine composure, and pulled out
great masses of black smoke, and
all there was to this whole
matter was that that same old
Anticipated chimney was taking its
usual burning out. The fremen looked
disguised and after raking out their fires,
gave up the expectation of having a fire.
STILL ANOTHER ALARM.
Just before the steamers started for
their respective places Chief of Police
Weber appeared and stated that tele-
phone message had just been sent to him
to the effect that there was fire in a
house On Selby avenue, belonging to Mr..
Philips. AS steamer No. 8, located on the
hill, is broken down and out of service,
Chief Engineer Strong did not feel at lib
erty to disregard the telephone message,
and to be on the safe side sent Nos. and
5 steamers, with the hook and ladder truck,
should be found that there was one. No.

had 20 difficulty in getting up
there, but No 3 started to
go up St. Anthony hill and it became nee
essary to send the team belonging to
No. up to help her along. When she
reached the corner of Dayton and Western
Some difficulty had been experienced with
the furnace in the house referred to, which
was located On Mackuben street, between
Selby and Dayton avenues but the fire
had been extinguished with a
few pals of water, and again
there was no need for the services of
the steamer. Again they turned back and
sought the comfortable quarters of their
engine house.
This ended UP the days experience, and
it was an exciting and harrassing one, and
full of unsatisfactory results. One thing
about it is there is some consolation in
knowing that out of SO many alarms there
was no serious destruction of property.
