In Smoke md Ashes.

h ENleANhNC eNAASA
 Last night at Il 30 o'clock an alarm of fire called out the great part of the population of the town, en dishabille; the cause of the alarm proved to be in the lot of old buildings, south side of Washington street, corner of Gen. ter, occupied by the Phoenix meat market, La Mariposa provision store the Family Liquor store, and Wright X Co.'S bakery. Opinion seems to be that the fire started in the cellar of the liquor store, though the smoke and flame was so great by the time the building was broken open that there was no certainty as to the exact point it started The fire by con siderable exerlion, and the high adobe building on the west belonging to Dr. Thibodo, was confined to the buildings just named, though for a time the frame building ill the rear facing on Center street, and belong ing to s. E. Patton, bid fair to share the fate of those on fire and should it have caught the loss in that neighbor hood would have been very severe.
 The property destroyed was in one of the most available locations for business in the city and was bringing in monthly rental of about $2OO, though the buildings in themselves, were mere patched up affairs.
 The losses and insurance, so far as we have been able to ascertain, are as follows:
 Phoenix Meat Market, implements and hxtur,s g, $750; no Insurance.
 JIM. Montana, stock and fixtures, entire, s, 200; insured for $2,25O.
 Wright X Herlick, stock and fix turcs, $500; no insurance.
 A. Tester, restaurant in Patton building; damaged by removal $2O0; no insurance. t
 Dr. o. J. Thibodc, drug store and residence; damaged by removal of stock and fixtures $1,000; fully GOV cred by insurance. a.
 Mrs. DeForest Porter, loss of builI- ings burned, 5000; no insurance.
 The loss to Mrs. Porter will foot up considerable more, if the cessation of her rents are taken into the account.
 The consideration of rebuilding the burned corner was begun at once this | morning, and by 9 o'clock Judge Porter had decided npou the erection ofa fne brick structure with two sturies,and basement on the site laid bare by tile fire. Arrange ents will be at once made for the construction of the building which will be 65 feet front on Washington street, and "a feet front on Center street; it will make one of the most valuable build- ings in the city.
 With little organized and intellig ent effort last evening there would ? have been but very small loss by tho fire, which could have been confined E to space of twenty feet square il the spot it started, as it made head way very slowly, owing to !he adob' buildings in which It worked. Furthe the reckless destruction of Dr. Thi- r bodu's stock and furniture should no ) have occurred at all, but while on tn tin roof of his building, which neede' some looking after, the mob broke il the front door and carried out ant
 smashed up his stock and furnitur in shameful manner. His entir loss is from this cause and not iron
