joining the grocery store of William Il.
Searle, at Third and Franklin streets,

wagons, harness, ETC., were taken out Of
the building, and the damage to the roof
will be slight. A large quantity Of hay
and straw was destroyed An alarm was
struck from box e5, at Second and jackson

district responded. Three heavy streams
from the Washington, Fame Hose and

The city parks were literally swarmed
with pesple yesterday. Ali day long
they sat under the shade Of the trees and
enioyed the cool breezes. This was par
ticuiarlY so in the west end park, at
Franklin and Oak streets. Here the city
has made beautiful resting place with
benches scattered over the green sward.
The only impediment to perfect rest in
this park is the scarcity Of the benches.
But it is probable that this will be soor
remedied and that more people than ever
will visit the park next Sunday.
