FEE LAST NIGHT.
4 Stable Destroyed, but all the
HoosOs Saved.

a Stable Destroyed, but all the
Heases Saved.
Shortly after 10 O'Clock last night an
alarm Of fire was sounded from box 3
u Tenth and Orange streets, and upon
the fremen responding it was found
that the stables ON Eleventh street be-
tween Tstnall and Orange were in
blaze.
The fire was first discovered by JEFF
ferson E. Banks, q colored man, who
was returning home from church, and
he immedistely notified officer McKen-
drick, who sounded the alarm, but the
infammable nature of the contents rem
dered the fire almost beyond control by
the time the firemen arrived, and the
only thing that could be done was to
save the horses and wagons and prevent
the flames from spreading to the adjoin-
ing property. There were fifteen horses
in the building, and nearly as many
wagons all the horses were saved and
all the wagons except one. The fire.
men as usual worked nobly, and the
owners Of surrounding property are in
debted to them for their heroic efforts to
prevent its destruction.
The burned building was two-story
brick, about 3Ox10O feet, and was d.
vided by wooden partitions into five
stables, occupied by William S. Bull
lock, the Singer Sewing Machine Com
pany, American Sewing Machine Com
pany, Peter Robinson and Charles E.
Salfner.
The fire is supposed to have broke
out In the hay loft Of Peter Robinson's
stable, and is thought to have been
caused by spontaneous combustion from
new hay, with which the loft was Allied.
The loss on the building, which is fully
covered by insurance, will amount to
about 81 900, and the loss to the oocu.
pants about $500, on which there is no
Insurance. The flames were not totally
subd-ed until after l o'clock, when
the tired and weary tiremen started
for their homes. The residents in the
vicinity opened their houses to the fire
mon, and provided hot coffee and other
refreshments.
