The alarm of fire that was sounded Thurs
day forenoon was occasioned by the burning
of coal and kindling house on the place of
Mrs +. Hughes in the southwestern part of
the city. AT one time the flames threatened
destruction to that lady's new elegant resi-
dence, just completed and hence the occasion
for turning en- the alarm. The loss will be
about S75. This fire has called attention to
the necessity of cstern or reservoir in that
part Of the city from which supply of water
can be obtained in cases Of emergency. II is
probable petition will be presented to the
thing be done in that direction.-Mrs. Hughes
desires the FREE TRADER to express her sim
cere thanks to the fire department and friends
who so ably assisted her in saving her home
from destruction.
A second alarm Of fire was turned in about
five o'clock of the same day. The location of
this fire was not far from the first, being Mr.
j. F. Gibsons barn (the Phelps property.
The department responded promptly, but ar.
rived too late to be of any service, even had
there been a water supply. Mr.. Gibson's
loss is about $200.-1n bothl instances the fire
is supposed to have been the work of an in
cendary or caused by tire-crackers.
About $ o'clock last evening another alarm
was given, occasioned by an incendary blaze
at the residence of NJ. j. Cassidy, near the
old fifth ward school. Cloths saturated with
oil were ignited on the inside of window,
but was fortunately discovered before much
damage was done. The family were not at
home when the fire occurred.

4 story is told on some of the high.up Bur.
lngton officials that sounds Just little like n
Streator yarn. Ii runs something in this
way Soon after the order was issued requir.
ing all the men in their employ to abstain
from liquor drinking two or three of the gen.
era officers had occasion to visit Strcator
While there it occurred to the chief OF the
party that something" would be refreshing,
and so the party stepped into a nearby saloon
and gave their orders. The keeper of the
place coolly but frankly told them they could
mot have anything to drink here" "Why
not" responded the astonished officers; and
then they began to expostulate. "Now, see
here, sirs," was the squelching reply of the
saloon keeper, 'you may just shut right up.
You have given orders that your men shall
not drink, and what's good enough for them
is good enough for you" But we must add,
for the sake Of truth, that the officials finally
prevailed and before they left the restaurant
the something" was duly produced, and
paid for, too
