An alarm of fire was sounded about l
o'clock last Saturday morning. The fire
department. responded promptly, and
found an outhouse in the yard of Col. j.
N. Brown, on North Main street, in
flames. The fire had gained such head
way that it was impossible to save the
building, and the firemen turned their
to protecting Col. Browns
dwelling, which they did successfully.
The house destroyed consisted Of two
rooms, with a chimney in the centre.
One room was used as kitchen, and the
other as lumber.room. No fire had
been in the building since o'clock on
Friday. Col. Brown estimates his loss at
about $500. This makes the third out
house in that section of the city that has
been burned within the last few week, and
it is hegeneral opinion that an incendia--
ry is at work. The City Council should
