Fire Last Night.

A fire occurred about 8 o'clock last
night in the rear portion of the build.
ing No. 2O8 Front street, north Of
Adams, owned by Mr.. William j.
Chase and used by him fer the storage
of some $500 bales of choice timothy
hay. The fire department was out in
quick order and worked promptly to
extinguish the flames, only succeeding
after the cellar beneath and those on
each side had been flooded with water
about three feet deep. The fire de-
partment had an engine busy to day
pumping the cellars clear. The damage
to the hay is estimated at about
$500, of which 500 will be sustained
by Mr.. Chase and $500 by the Phoenix
Insurance Company, a policy covering
the hay to that amount. The loss to
the building of about 5000 is covered
by policy in the same company. The
origin of the fire is unknown, but is
believed to have been the work of an
incendiary.

KILLED By ACCIDENT.
Death of Henry NageI, While
Duck Hunting.

A young man aged about 20 years,
reared in this city, named Henry
Nagel, was shot and killed about ten
o'clock yesterday morning, while duck
hunting in skiff on Wolf river, some
three miles above the..mouth, near the
Rawlings farm.
Three persons occupied the skiff at
the time, Mr.. VIM. Heidel, Mr.. John
Tyler and Mr.. Nsgel. The two latter
simultaneously discovered flock Of
ducks, and both raised their fowling
pieces at the same moment. By some
means unknown Tyler's gun went off,
the entire charge entering Nagel's
body under the left shoulder, the shot
tearing large hole in his side and
decorating the vitalS within, causing
death in few minutes.
The remains of the unfortunate
young man were conveyed to the
home of his mother and sister, at
the corner of Greenlaw and
Second streets, Chelsea, by his
two companions, both of whom we're
in greatly distressed frame of mind
over the terrible mishap. Mr.. Tyler,
whose gun had done the mischief, was
particularly grieved, and with the
young mans mother and sister, were
inconSolable. Nagle has been en-
ployed at the grocery house Of Oliver,
Finnie & Co., was the only support
of his mother, and is described as an
industrious as we'll as a most worthy
young man. The funeral of the de-
ceased occurred to-day.

The principle of this factory has

not to discover how to cheaper

Improve the Manufacture.
They have the most thorough and ex-

is Otis, Republican. In Brooklyn the chief
interest is the contest for Mayor, Hendrix
