 CLEVELAND, Sept 21.-Another fire broke out among the lumber yards on the flats at il a. m in the dry house of Monroe Bros, above Jefferson street. This fire was con- fined to the yards of Monroe Bros. although it continued to burn until night At 5 p. m. another alarm was given and it wss found that another fire had broken out in the yards of Brown, Strong 6 Co.,, the next yard to Monroe Bros, but situated some distance from the latter. AS the fire in Monroe Bros, yard was under control it is not thought the second fire in Brown, Strong 6 Co.'s was in any way connected with the former, but the fires are the work of an or ganized band of incendiaries. Fears are entertained of another confagratlon similar to that of two weeks ago and neighboring towns have been called on for assistance. Two engines, one from Ely ria and one from Akron, have already ar rived and others from Sandusky and Paines- vile are now the way by special train.
 6p. m.-Ths fire in Monroe Bros' is about out, but the one in the yards of Brown, Strong 6 Go. is still burning ferce1y and has compelled the fremen to seek new 1oca- tions for their engines. Steamers from Ash tabula and Painesville are just put ting their first stream on the flames. The Connotton Valley railroad have large number of cars on their side tracks alongside of Baown, Strong 6 Co.'s yards and which will probably be burned. The tracks of the Cannotton are impossible, the rails having been badly warped by the heat. The lines of the Bankers and Mer- chants Telegraph company are also caught in the fire. Two poles have already been completely burned down and some of the wires broken.
 Midnight-A1though now under control the fire is still burning in Monroe Bros. and Brown, Strong & Go. s yards Monroe's loss will be $75, 900, on which they have insur- ance of $125, ,0O0. Brown, Strong & Go. will suffer to the extent of $160, 900, on which they have, insurance of $175, 1000. There is no question that there is an organized gang of frebugs and that they are responsible for the fire of two weeks ago, as well as for that of tonight. The police have made dozen arrests of suspicious characters tonight and claim to have positive proof of the guilt of number of them. Another alarm has just sounded from the west side, to which a DOT ton of the department has responded.
