Chas. Thompson's large frame dwelling
house in the First ward, occupied by T. Ii.
HenderShot, was discovered to be on fire at
about ! O'Clock yesterday morning Owing
TO the hour at which the fire occurred but few
persons knew anything about It until after
daylight in the morning. Those who were ap-
prised OF the fire, however, FASTENED to the
spot, and by their hcrculCan efforts, as.
sisted by the rain, which was pouring down
in torrents at the time, succeeded in not only
removing all the household goods from the
burning building, but in cxtinguishing the
flames and saving the outer walls and great
part Of the building, the center merely and
Il portion OF the roof being burned. The fire
lSSupposed to have originated from defec-
tive backwaiiin the fire place on the ground
tioor. Had the rain not been falling at the
time the entire building, and most likely the
row OF houses east OF 1t, would have been en-.
tirety destroyed. II is difficult to estimate
the damage, but 1t will probably exceed
$500. No insurance.
