LAST NIGHTS FIRE.
A Lack of Wind Saves Many Bouss
From Destruction.

From Destruction.
A fire broke out at 10 o'clock last night
in two-story frame dwelling on the east
side of Fourth street, between NJ and N,
owned by John Kennedy and occupied
jointly By his family and that of William
Dorland. The latter had just retired, when
his children came running to his room and
said they had heard the crash of a window
in the rear
Dorland ran to the kitchen, fearing that
burglars were getting into the house, when
he found the bathroom adjoining in flames.
he put on his clothes hurriedly and got
his family out of the house, his neighbors
also getting out without injury. Some Of
the furniture owned by each family was
removed to the street.
The fire meantime spread to the rear
and side of one-story cottage adjoining
on the north, owned by William Bell, and
occupied by Thomas Black and family, and
also attacked the two story frame dwelling
on the south, owned by Mrs. A. Meyers,
and occupied by E. Dreymeyer and family
The occupants of each of these houses
succeeding in removing most of their fur
niture to the street. One room in the rear
of Dreymeyers residence was Quilted, and
the furniture therein destroyed.
The Kennedy house was q new one,
worth about So 500, and was damaged prob
ably to the extent of 81 900 or more. A
few hundred dollars will repair the dam
age sustained by the other houses.
Nobody seemed to know how the fire
started. Mr.. Dorland admitted to Rec.
ORD UNION reporter that he had gasoline
stove in his kitchen, but he said there was
scarcely any gasoline in the tank, and he
was sure the fire did not originate from the
stove.
While the fire was in progress extraman
John Rogers, of Engine Company No. 2,
met with what seemed to be painful in
jury. He and another fireman were hold
ing the nozzle of one of the lines of hose,
when the thing flew out of their grasp and
the powerful stream of muddy water struck
him in one eye. There was rumor that
the eye had been destroyed, but the injured
man had been removed and the report
could not be verified.
The tiremen were greatly handicapped
for the first ten or fifteen minutes by a
scarcity Of water. Nearly all the damage
had been done before thcy could get water
enough to throw a thirty.foot stream.
Fortunately there was no wind. or the
whole block would have been swept by the
fire before there was water enough to do
any good.
Shortly after midnight the engines were
called out again, the fire having broken
out afresb, but the flames were subdued in
a few minutes.

NEW POsToFFIcE.
The Sum of 100000 Available With
Which to Begin Work On It.

The Sum of 100000 Available With
Which to Begin Work On 1t.
The REcoED- UNION published q tele-
graphic dispatch from its Washington cor
respondent a few days since announcing
the passage by the House of the bill limit.
ing the cost of the Sacramento Govern
ment building to 100000. The dispatch
explained that Mr.. McKenna was ena bled
to call the bill Up for consideration only by
agreeing to demand by Cannon that the
money in excess of the S150000 appropri.
ated by Congress at the last session would
not De asked for at this time.
As there appears to be doubt in the
minds of some of our citizens as to the real
sum available with which to commence
the work, it may be well to explain that
the cost of the site comes out of the original
appropriation of $3.50 900, leaving $107 900
with which TO operate. Before this can be
exhausted the balance of the $500 600 will
of course be appropriated by Congress.
The report of the House Committee on
Public Buildings and Grounds, recon-
mending the passage of the billiard OF
which Mr.. Clunie is member-was as fol-
lows:
"The City of Sacramento is the capital of
the State of California. 1t is the railroad
center of the State. 1t has Land Office.
Internal Revenue Office and Postoffice to
provide for. The estimated Postoffice re-
ceipts are S60,0 600 annually, and are rapidly
increasing. The population to be benefited
is $1,000. The city is the financial and
commercial center of the great Sacramento
valley. TIE receipts and population have
nearly doubled within the last ten years
and are constantly increasing. 1t is the
only public building asked for in the dis
trict. The site and building cannot be pur-
chased for less than the amount named in
the bill. All proceedings in relation to the
building have ceased awaiting the passage
of the bill
"In view OF the foregoing facts the COM
mittee is of the opinion that the increase
asked for is necessary, and therefore recon-
mend the passage OF the BILL"

A NEW INDUSTRY.
Importau, Developments in the Ell Do
rads Slate Quarries.

Impprtau, Developments in the Ell Do
rad. Slate Quarries.
While FL Dorado county stands foremost
among the mining coun,ies, and produces
fruits equal to the best grown in any part
of the State, and her agricultural products
are unsurpassed, she has new industry
which, in extent and importance. promises
to be of more value than all other enter
prises combined. 1t is but recently that
the fact has become known that California
could produce slate of quality and in
quantity to justify in quarrying and hand
ling to any extent; but it is now estab.
lished beyond peradventure that Ell Do
RADIO has slate equal TO any in the world.
and can furnish II in quantities to supply
the Pacific coast Australia, and all The
countries bordering the Pacific ocean. at
prices to compete with any part OF the
world.
F. A. Bishop. engineer of the Sacramento
and Placerville Railroad, first located the
body of slate in 1865, but it then was so
far from railroad communication that its
working was not practicable. When the
railroad was completed to Placerville the
work on the quarry was commenced, it be-
ing but little over one mile from the
Placerville depot. The lode runs north
and south, and is situated on the east bank
OF Big Canyon, running to the American
river, where 1t is broken, and extends 100
feet above the surface. The ledge is fifty to
eighty feet wide, and is being worked on
both sides of the river. The Southern Pacific
Company has used 36 carloads of this slate
for roofing, and orders are on file in ad-
vance of the ability of the force now oper-
atlng to supply. as the quarries are not snffi-
GENTLY opened to work large force of men.
The supply is practically inexhaustible.
The Big Tunnel Company, in cutting q
drlft through their grounds, while pros
pecting Their gold mines. cut through q
vein OF this slate 20 feet wide and $50 feet
below the surface, one and halt miles
south OF the river, where this vein crops
out. That this body of slate is equal to
the best quality found in Wales, has been
demonstrated by analysis made by experts
who have worked in and examined all the
principal mines in Wales, England andthe
United States, and who pronounce the COM
ponent parts of this slate to contain the
same amount of silica and alumina as exist
in the best slate found in Wales. The
beddings, joints and cleavage are admira-
bly, defined, and from tests carefully made
this slate can be polished and produce
surface as smooth as the finest marble.
1t Is only a question of time that the
slate industry of Ell Dorado will be fore
most among the important enterprises of
the State, giving employment to thousands
OF men, and furnishing material for build
ing that will be both useful and ornamen-
tai, and making sure and quick returns on
the capital employed in its development.

A remonstrance against improving L

was yesterday filed with the Clerk of the
City Trustees by Fl. o. Beatty. There had
been a widespread hope entertained that
all the talk about street improvement
would result in something being accom-
plished, and when the City Trustees passed
the order to have L street improved il
looked as if there would be at least one
inlet from the country to the city by the
time next winters rain should come 10

street is to be improved, it will not be
without struggle, it seems.
When 1t became known yesterday that
property-owners had filed remonstrance
against the proposed improvement, ex-
pressions of disgust was heard on all sides.
1t was suggested that mass meeting of
citizens should be called to give fitting ex-
preston to the indignation felt by those
who wish to see the streets of the city put
in passable condition
