com bination o" circumstances was presented on
Pennsylvania avenue, on Tuesday. Workmen
were engaged in laying water mains, when a
team of six mules belonging 10 Mr.. John h.
Reckord was quietly vending its way along
the avenue with load of hay. No doubt they
were INDUCING in pleasant reyeries with regard
to the provender " hen the load, coming in con-
tact with the fire pot used by the workmen for
melting lead, caught fire. The hay was showed
off the wagon, but not until the hay carriage
was nearly destroyed. Several panels of fence
were also burned. 1t is worthy of note that the
first fire hat has occurred in Bel Air since the
beginning of the water works was caused by
the very agency Intended TO extinguish fires,
and in the immediate vicinity of the residence
of the President of the Water Company. Un-
fortunately the Fire Company could render no
assistance as hydrants have not yet been placed
in that part of the town.
