out BIZ an alarm sent in from station No.
%, Twelfth and G streets. The fire
proved 10 be III the rear part of the resi-
dence OF Frank Ruhstaller, at Thirteenth

or near the kitchen, and burned rapidly up
into the roof, where it was difficult for the
Hremen TO reach it. The flames found
their way through an open window and
attacked the adjoining building, which
was occupied by two families-those of Geo.
Bowman and II. W. Dickens. The Bow

town, but Mrs. Bowman's sister, Miss

walls, ceiling, carpets, etc, of both houses
we're more or less damaged by water
Ruhstaller had $500 insurance on his fur
nlture, which was saved. but in a,damaged
condition. Bowman's furniture was in
sured Tor 81 200 in the Scottish Union Com
pany, Leonard 81 Son, agents. Dickens
was insured for several hundred dollars in
the Sun Insurance Company, Buggy agent.

age to both houses and furniture is fully
covered by insurance.
LAST NIGHr's OPRv-AIE CONCERT
concert was given last night by the First
Artillery Regiment Band in the plaza.
The warm evening seemed to have brought
the entire community out in the park to
get breath of air, and the square was
literally thronged. The band had arranged
a programme which was quite popular,
Judging from the number OF encores, and
the best of order prevailed. We wish to
suggest to the parents of some of the bows
who regularly frequent these concerts that
they must impress it upon their minds
that, unless they are more mindful of the
pleasure of others than they have been
an example will be made Of them in a
way that will demonstrate that they can
| not act in n way so disagreeable to those
who attend FOR the purpose of listening to
the music. The Artillery Regiment Band
Tomorrow accompanies its regiment to

be an honor to the regiment and to the city
