o'clock at Boyle Hights. Ii appears that
while some men were engaged in working
in q sewer. a Frenchman and an Irish
laborer got into some difficulty over Il

speak several times. He was removed to
the residence of McLeans, where he now
lies ina critical condition The would be

Finally five streams were got upon the
building, which is three stories high, and
built of wood in a most substantial manner

upper story i'll a short time, and it was evil
dent that the building was doomed; but
the eXertions of the fire department were
redoubled, with an endeavor 10 save the
machinery, which had all been renewed a
little over a year ago, and their efforts were
crowned with success A car was on the
side track waiting to be loaded 1t was run
up TO the front door, and most of the flour
in the mill was saved The car was after
wards run down from the burning build
ing. The mill was built about twenty-four
