half block ahead. The FIRE was on the
north side of n street, between Fifth ard

of about $500. It was insured for 81, GOO
on building and $500 on furniture in the
Commercial Union aud Western Insurance
Companies. The origin of the fire is un-

diary. Mr. Caldwell and his son slept in the
front room on the second story. and were
awakened by finding the room full of smoke.
The second alarm was about 1890 o'clock
from box 25 Second and K streets, and was
caused by room at Second and L streets
getting fail of smoke from q kitchen stove.
The third alarm YVES at 7:10 last evening,
from box II, at Fourth and D streets. It
was caused by the roof of g small frame
building belonging to Chris. Green, on Q
street between Fourth and Fifth, taking fire
from stovepipe. The damage was nominal.

Water Works correctly, and but two long
whistles were sounded.
A FIENDIsH ACT.-About o'clock a few
evenings since Mrs. Mary Ryan, who lives
in small tenement on the alley between L
and NJ. Ninth and Tenth streets, observed
from an upper window, while she was put
ting her little children to bad, the reflection
of light on tbs fence across the alley from
she discovered boxful of old rags aud pa
per, thoroughly saturated with coal oil, under
the steps the blaze envelopipg the entire
sJeps. She leaped through the flames TO the
ground, and with pole near by pulled from
under the steps the blazing box, which was
quickly smethered, and the flames of the
burning steps extinguished. Mrs. Ryan dis
played great presence of mind and courage,
and by Ter coolness and bravery saved the
house from being destroyed by fire and her
children from horrid death. The damage
done to the premises was slight, but Mrs.
Ryan sustained some very severe and painful
burns on her hands. arms and face. The hox
and unburned paper ard rags have been
taken charge of by detective, snd every eff
fort will be made to ferret out and punish
the wretch who would seek to burn up a poor
widow and a small family of children.
The FA1R-THE ELECTRIC L1GHTs-A
MASHED TBIoYcLE.-Ye Yesterday exhibitors at
the Pavilion removed nearly all the goods.
The display OF Huntingdon Hopkins & Co.
was photographed before It's removal. The
electric lights were taken out of the Pa
vilion yesterday. The cause of their extin-
guishmens on Saturday evening was the
breaking Of counter shaft st Nichol & Co. 5
mill, where the power was generated. The
man in charge of the lights says the shafting
was insufficient at the beginning, and it wss
almost a miracle that it lasted until Saturday
evening. At the Lew exposition building the
Bosrd viii put in sufficient power snd ma
chinery TO run electric lights throughout the
building. On Sunday the Columbia tricycle.,
which was left ia the lower hall at the Pa.
vilion, was greatly injured by some one. The
agent says it will take $50 to repair the dam

of the racers, having been taken TO Stockton,
where the district fair begins to-day.
