lines leading from this city. The muddy high

A few minutes after s O'Clock Wednesday eve
ming of last week. fire was discovered in the
loft of the barn connected with the Etna House.
An alarm was given. but notwithstanding the
proximity of the fire department. it was appar-
emily long time before the first stream of water
was thrown upon the burning building. The barn
Is OF brick. with slate roef which while it kept
the fire from breaking out and communicating
with the surrounding buildings. also served to
make it difficult fire to handle. and for nearly
four hours the fremen were obliged to food the
building. before it was finally smothered. The
ire is supposed to have caught from the chimney
of the office. and spread rapidly over the hay.
The barn was occupied by R. B. Witter. and at
the time the fire was discovered. contained four
horses. one coach and one bus. all of which were
safely removed. Mr.. Writer'S loss consists of
about ten tons of hay. a small quantity of straw
and few bushels of grain. in all not exceeding
SIPS. upon which there was no insurance. The
damage to the building was confined almost en-
tirely to the upper portion. the framework and
roof on the east half being destroyed. Some of
the stockholders of the Etna Block Co. had insur-
ance upon their individual interests and some
had none. so that the exact amount of the COM
pany IS loss could not be sseeFtained.
