GUARDIAN II 0sE CoMPANY's LAST
AND CROwNING VICTORY.

GUARDIAN HOSE CoMPANy's LAST
AND CRowNING NICToRY.
On Monday last few minutes before mid
! night our people were aroused by an alarm
of fire, cried upon the streets and sounded
upon Harry" our new Town Hall bell,
When first discovered by Mr.. {. {. Waters,
the flames had gained decided Roadway and
by the time the first stream of water was
thrown, the finishing departm emit, building
40xS0 feet, two stories high, was tnve.oped
! in flames throughout and no pretcnsc of'sav-
it was made The fircmen turned their at
tention to the building about fifteen feet cast
of il, in which the engine and wood working
machinery is placed and in spite OF the near
ness Of the fire and Slight wind from the
west, saved this building and its contents
This is the second time that this building has
been thus en- vloncd and saved, thanks to
the courage and good judgment of the Guar
dian Hose Company. A second time has
this company been worth probably three
thousand dollars to the insurance companies,
for while the building was slightly damaged
and the water has done additional, yet the
machinery, tools and lumber were saved
with 4 building, the damage to which can be
repaired at cost OF ten to twenty per cent
OF lis nth.
1t was a great fight and a splendid victory,
for the lateness of the hose and the Roadway
that the fire had attained Letorc it was dis
covered, put the department at an lmmeasur-
able advantage from the start.
The property IS in the Ii; nds of trustees,
Messrs. John Rouzer and John II. Rouzer,
for the Kcyscr and Rouzcr Mfg Company
and We are informed that negotiations were
in progress for the sale of the property and
would probably have been closed within a
week or ten days. Just what effect this
misfortune Will hay c We are not prepared to
state.
The property is insured in the
company for 81; it is not possible to
accurately estimate the loss.
During the progress OF the fire the sparks
raned tUwu upon the eastern section of the
town and the roof Of two separate buildings
caught fire, but were outcncd without call
ing upon the fire department to leave the
main fire, although at one time it began TO
look as though it would be better TO allow
the fire to have IFS way at the casket works
and the attention be given to other buildings
There was a light west wind blowing; a
strong wind would not only have rendered il
impossible to save the casket factory build
ing but would have endangered East Main
and Carroll streets.
It is believed by every one to have becn
the work of an ncrndary.

Representative merchants of Balti-
more, seconding the action OF the Board
of Trade, have forwarded to Congress
protest against the passage of the
pending bill to give bounties to ships
engaged in certain lines Of trade. Bal
timore, it is urged, has much to lose by
the passing of such bill. lis trade
with South America will be seriously
injured by it. We have now fourteen
vessels trading between this port and
Rio. These vessels fly the American
flag and are owned here. They are en-.
titled to the governments consideration
but they will be treated most unjustly
if Congress gives their rivals in New
York the unfair advantage Of a bounty.
