DISASTROUS FIRES.

DISASTROUS FIRES.
An alarm OF fire was turned in from box No. 81
about o'clock Saturday morning. The Fire De-
partment quickly responded, and it was scertaned
that the fire was in the Capital Brewery building
on the northeast corner Of Twelfth and / streets.
On the arrival Of the department the flames we're
burning furousy. In a few moments two streams
were playing upon. the fire. but il required some
time and considerable effort to eXtingush it. 1t
apparent that neighboring buildings were in
dBDger, and to save these one Of thu engines went
to work. with the result that the blaze confined
to the eastern addition, or storeToom in which it
started In this apartment was stored . large
quantity OF barley and hops, all Of which was OF
course rendered unfit for brewing use. The origin
Of the fire is a mystery which will probably
be solved The property was insured for only 5000,
which does not cover any part Of the ruined stock,
while the loss cannot fall short Of sl5 600 or Sl6 000
It will take the better part Of two months TO rebuild
the damaged premises, and place the brewery in
running order. 1t was only by the excellent work
Of the nremen that the main building and large
stOrer0om near by was saved. Lewis Wagner and
John Trembling, who were sleeping in the building,
barely escaped with their lives.
An alarm Of fiie was turned in from box No. Is
shortly before o'clock yesterday morning in con-
sequence Of the discovery Of flames proceeding from
a small barn in the alley between Fourth and Fifth,
L and N streets. The property, with about two
TONS OF nay ana q winter 8 supply OF stove wool,
was totally destroyed, but horse and wagon were
got out in safety The loss is about $780, and the
premises were owned by J. Bauer. His residence,
fronting on street. had a close call, but a we'll
directed stream from the rear prevented its catching
on fire
