A FIRE ON CENTER STREET.

The Rooms Of the Insulatea Wire
 Company Ablaxe-Much Damage by
 Water-Prokasky's Place Damaged
 Again-Two Firemen Injured.
 A blaze which was probably due to spon- taneous combustion among chemicals broke out in tho rooms occupied by the Insulated Wire company on the top floor of the build ing Nos. 72 to 80 Center street. Prokasky's Yale cafe and the Troy laundry occupy the ground floor.
 Flames were seen coming from the win- dows of the top floor about half-psst 10 by . passer.by, who quickly notified an officer who stood upon the next corner. Alarm 25 was sounded. When the fire department arrived the fire had gained good deal of headway. Being in the top story 1t was somewhat diffi- cult to reach. Streams of water were soon put on and the flames subsided.
 A great deal of damage was done all through the building by the floods of water which came pouring down through the floors. The apartments and furniture of near ly all of the occupants of the three sto- ries beneath were badly damaged in this way. The Imperial Manufacturing company, which manufactures fly paper and other like mate rials, suffered considerable loss. They were not covered by insurance.
 Considerable damage was done to the property of Mir. Prokasky. The rear of his establishment, which he has just had fres- coed and nearly finished at Q cost of between $500 and $700, was drenched by the falling water. The frescoing has occupied three weeks, and he was expecting to reopen this part on Saturday. Other parts of his stock were also damaged. He holds S12 GOO iu- surance on his property.
 The building belongs to the estate of the late John w. Mansfield. The damage which will not exceed $1, ,000, is fully oov- cred by insurance.
 The Insulated Wire company had but little insurance upon their property. It is the seo- ond fire that has broken out in their rooms within the past few months. Both times the building has been flooded - with water and much damage done to the property of others on the floors below. It is said that but little work has been done on the top floor of late. Many chemicals are used in the rooms and 1t was among these that the blaze originated.
 During the fire Hoseman Frank Moves of steamer No. 3 was slightly injured by pieces of floor which were loosened and fell upon him. He had narrow escape from serious injury. stephen B. Webster, fireman of steamer No. 2,was also hurt by pieces of fall ing glass and rubbish and c heavy coil of wire fell upon his head, but his fire hat saved him from serious injury. The build- ing was very dark and much trouble was ex- gerienced by the fremsn in getting at the nre. About 2,000 people were at the fire.

 GENERAL KELLoaa's EXPLOIT.
 Gen. s. W. Kellogg probably brought to
 Waterbury this week the first of the wanan- ish or ouinaniche, the famous fish of Lake St. John, Canada, that ever came to that place. They are @ very delicate fish and do not keep
 as we'll as trout. The general brought back three of them which he caught an hour or two before he left. He was camping with two others on an island near the Grand Dis charge of Lake St. John. F. HARTFoRD's PosToTFICE. Yesterdays Courant says: The fact was recently announced that the salary of the Hartford postmaster had been raised from $3, 400 to $3, 500. This was because the busi' ness of the office had increased $4O, 900 dur ing the year. The next raise of $1OO will come when the business increases $60, ,000 more. It is not likely to come at once. The postmastership back in the haloyon and re- versible days of E. s. Cleveland is said to have been worth not less than $4,OOO year. In those days the postmaster shared the box
 rents: Now he has not "perqs." The Treas. ury department owns the boxes, as 1t does all the furniture in government buildings

The Park Committee Unanimous
 Favor a Park At State and Franklin
 Streets-PoOr Condition of the Park
 On Hamilton Street. -.
 The project for the establishment of . small park at the corner of State and Frank lin streets, came again before the committee on parks for its consideration last evening. The committee some time since reported in favor of the park, but the report was sent back by the Court of Common Council, with remonstrance signed by several residents of the neighborhood. Several citizens appear. ed before the committee and opposed the park. They were afraid lest the children would gather there and make 8 noise. Al. derman Gilhuly, the proponent of the park, in strong speech advocated it's estab- lishment. These small parks give breathing places in the populous districts and are much needed by the people, in the opinion of the alderman. The committee voted unani- mously to adhere to it's former position and give the remonstrants leave to withdraw.
 Peter Reynolds and Cormac Shields con- plained of the bad condition of the Hamil- ton street square. As at present it Is a nui- sance, and nnless something is done to reme- dy it it might ss we'll be abolished. No re- dress had been obtained from the superin. tendent of parks or the police. The Com- mittee took no action in the matter. It will recommend that fence be built around the little square at the corner of Lawrence and State streets.
