The quiet incoming of our citizens was
again disturbed last Saturday by the
alarm of fire caused by flames being seen
to issue from the roof of John F. Bran
er's frame building, formerly owned by
the late Joseph Miller, situated near the
corner of Main and Fourth streets, Sec
ond ward. Mr.. Bramer occupied the west
store room for the agency of the Deering
Farming Machinery Company, of Chic
ago, the east room as a saloon and up
stairs for a dwelling. The flames were
not long in getting under considerable
Roadway in the upper portion of the
building and the fire soon communicated
with the adjoining building owned by
Joseph Butcher & Son and occupied by
them as dry goods aud clothing store and
dwelling. By the time the fire. steamers
could begin work the flames had got
under considerable Roadway and before
the fire was ext;nguished both build
ings were almost totally destroyed, not
enough of the material being left stand
ing to be of any account towards rebuild
ing. At one tipe great fears were en-
tertained that the new block of Gamm
and Kurzweg directly west of the burn
ing buildings would suffer some damage,
but fortunately it escaped any injury.
During the progress of the fire the Ger
man Methodist church, more than a
block away, caught fire in the roof from
a burning brand blowing upon the build
ing, but it was promptly extinguished.
Deputy Sheriff Bruegger assembled on the
roof and slipping from the top narrowly
escaped falling to the ground, ladder he
came in contact with stopping him. The
origin of the fire is traced to a defective
chimney in use in the second story of the
Bramer building. Mr.. Bramer estimates
his loss on building, machinery and
household effects at$2,5 500 covered by
81, 900 insurance in the Heckla, of Madi-
son, and $500 on the Concordia, of Mil
waukee. The loss to J. Butcher & Son
amounts to some $4,000 on building,
damage to stock, furniture, &C., covered
by the following insurance: $1,000 in
Rhode Island Underwriters and 81, 900 in
German. of Buffalo.
