The Town Saved From Destruction b,
the Prompt Work of the Firemen.
ST. HELENA, September 15lh.-Our town
has again been visited by disastrous con.
fagration, which destroyed $4,000 worth
OF property. At o'clock this morning 3
hre was discovered in the rear of the St
Helena Daily NeUS office, on Main street
An alarm was turned in, to which the
hre companies promptly responded, and
did everything in their power to check the
flames, which they succeeded in doing
after three buildings had been totally de.
stroyed and several badly damaged. Two
OF the buildings were owned by George n
Beach and occupied by Misses Barry and
Campbell, milliners; l. n. Herold, watch.
maker and jeweler; W. A. c. Smith, in.
surance and real estate agent; L. Konrad
photographer, and Otto Behrns, grocer
The third building was owned by J P,
Logan and occupied as newspaper office
by bis son, c. NJ. Logan.
The principal losses sustained are as fol.
lows: George H. Beach, $4,000; ]. P,
Logan, $500; c. NJ. Logan, 81 coo; L Kon.
rad, 81 GOO; 1. 81. Herold, $500; Otto Bebrns,
$1,000; Misses Rarry and Campbell. $500;
Mrs. Hughes, $500; DR.. G. E. Davis. $500:
w. a. .. Smith, $500, and other small
losses to the amount of $500. Partial in.
surance will cover the losses of all but c.
NJ. Logan's, who was uninsured.
The origin of the fire is unknown, but il
is supposed to be the work of an in
cendiary. The fremen are deserving OF
great praise for their excellent work, as
the buildings destroyed were in the center
OF a long row of wooden buildings.

How She Received His Proposal

There was in Washington a young tvre-
writer whose goods looks and charming
manner justify the sentiments which her
employer feels toward her. He is in the
habit of debating his correspondence.
while her expert fingers transfix the words
as he utters them. The other morning he
concluded to end the uncertainty which
had come into existence by asking her to
marry him. She was engaged on some
copying, when he approached her and
poured out his sentiments, and notwith-
standing the warmth of his pleadings kept
right ahead with the clicllety, click, click
of the instrument. In fact, she paid so lit
tie attention to him that he became discour-
aged and left the room, intending to speak
to her when her mind was free from her
duties. He went to his lunch, and on his
return sat down to sign lot of letters that
lay on his desk. There was a large pile
and he went through it mechanically, un-
til he struck a sheet near the bottom.
Jumping to his feet, he simply exclaimed ::
"Well, Pll be blowedw The cold, glaring
