flares were shooting from the windows
OF the secozd story, and peeking ont
from beneath the roof. A number Of
horses and several carriages and wagons
were ia the stable at the time, and a few
persons volunteered to rescue the horses
The smoke had filled the stable, making
the work difficult. bat the animals were
eventually rescued aud taken to Martins
stables on Van Bursu street.
As the building was hemmed In by
houses aud inaccessible lot, the fiFemen
lad much difficulty ia directing their
apparatus where it would be most
effectual. They managed to run tbs hose
through a driveway and very soon after
the hremen's arrival the fire was confined
to the upper story at one time there
was danger Of its catching the row Of
houses on Seventh street, as the stable
was close beside them and the wind,
though not strong, blew ia that dlrec
tion- When the fire had been confined to
the upper story it burned fsrcely among
quantity of hay which had been stored
there. The roof was burned through,
the partitions destroyed and the whole
top story completely ruined
A colored family occupied portion OF
the lower story on the eastern end,
and 1t was over this dwelling that the
fire broke out. The family heard crack

They succeeded in removing their effects
Had the fire fairly broken out the effect
would have been a brilliant spectacle, as
the building stands on high ground and
can be seen for a great distance. Il is
