FIRES THIS MoRNING.-An alarm of fire
was turned in from box %, Thirteenth and
J, occasioned by the burning of the hay
barn of Stephen Dwyer, on street, be-
tween Sixteenth and Seventeenth. The
| barn contained three or four tons of hay,
and the smoldering fire may burn for sew
eral days. Before the engines had returned
to their houses flames were discovered
| bursting from the sidewalk in front of the
northwest corner of Ninth and J streets.
| From some cause or other the wires failed
TO work and consequently no alarm could
be given for some time. AT last an at
| tache of the engine-house on Fifth
street rang peal on the big bell with the
| aid of the ropes, and the attention of the
tiremen was attracted to the scene. The
flames were soon extnguished when water
was turned on, and no great damage re-
suited. The old-tashioned general alarm
of the hall bell, however, had the effect OF
crowding the streets for while with half
dressed men, women and children.
