A Large ConfIagration Prevented.

The alarm at 1880 last night was caused by
the discovery of fire in the frame stable in
the rear of No 1112 X street northwest. The
department promptly responded, and kept
the flames confined to the stable and the
sheds of Nos. 1110 and 1l14. But for the
iremen's quick work there would have been
large connagration, as the structures on the
square are nearly all frames. Three horses
were in the stable, but were safely removed,
One, however, was badly scorched. The
premises were occupied by Edward Dicker-
son, who also owned the horses. The loss is
about $500. This is another instance of the
excellence of Washington's fire department
and its successful prevention of the spread
ing of fire.
