SUNDAY NIGHT FIRES.
The Brennan Fire Department Called
Out Three Times Within Two
Hours and Each Time Gal
IantIy ResDonded,

Out Three Times Within Two
Hours and Each Time Gal
Iantly Responded.
About IL o'clock Sunday night
at time when most of tho deniaons
had retired to their virtuous couche 5
and were listening for the soft wave IS
that wash the shore of the land of
dreams, they were suddenly startl ed
by the violent ringing of the fire
alarm, and Brenhams incompara bic
volunteer fire department galla' ntly
responded.
THE FIRST FIRE
was located in Camptown, a lamp
having exploded on the bur eau at
the residence of Beckie String fellow,
colored, and set fire to the bureau
and: contents, which were emoved
from the building into the yard
where 1t burned up without. damage
to the house.
The Conner Hose Com pany was
the first out and went dow Sunday
street to the last hydran.t, but see
ing that the fire wa beyond
their reach returned, wei Iring rather
disappointed look tb; 1t indicated
they would like to have. had little
exercise in extinguishnag a fire, and
half an hour subsequently,, about the
time they had all. had time to get
back to bed,
THE SECOND ALARM
rang out more violently than the
first and the boys turned out with
promptness that indicated that some
of them had not been to bed. This
time the fire was located on south
North street, in frame building &C.
cupied as a colored gambling den,
run by Henry Carr, but owned by
Mr.. Jacob Hiltpold, of HOCKEY, Tex.
The fire was well under way, the en-
tire interior of the building being
one mass of flames, and its frery
tonguesSbursting out through open
windows and thin Notwithstanding
and already having caught the dry
single roof, was fast being consum-
ed when the first water from the
Conner Hose was shot in at the
front door. A piece of iron stuck
into the nozzle and for brief time
prevented effective work, but it was
quickly removed and that company
kept the fire under control until the
Mechanics Engine Company turned
on q tremendous stream from the
rear and in an Incredible short time
only the charred hull of the building
remained to show that there had |
been fire. The origin of this fire
is unknown, though supposed to
have been the work of an incendiary
By the time the work of putting
up the apparatus had been completed
the boys were satisfied with the ex-
ercise, and elected Foreman W. b.
Smell of the Mechanics, to turn on
the hose OF liquid refreshments, in
asmuch as it seemed to have been in
honor of his departure, and the boys
accompanied him to Weoller's be-
fore retiring for the night. In less
than an hour however,
THE THIRD ALARM
brought them out and it was only
stern duty that spurred them, for
5he novelty of the thing was begin
hing to pail upon them. This time
'he fire was found to be between the
'oof and ceiling of the store of P.
l.. Tieman, next door to the build
ng that had just burned, and had
caught from the heat of
he other fire. A hole was cut in
he roof and a few well directed {
buckets of water extinguished it
n its incipiency. No insurance.

clear, unfathomable waters over an

The Alton Postpones Fixing q
Tariff for the G. A. r.
CHICAGO, June AT the meeting of
the Western Passenger association to-
day the question of reduced rates for
the Grand Army encampment at De-
troit was discussed. The Chicago &
Alton road would only consent to
through rates from Western points on
condition that the Western lines would
route all the business over the Wabash
road, and so cut off the lines that are
boycotting the Alton. This the other
roads would not agree to. Meth
er would they assent to the
round trip between points on their
lines and the eastern boundary of the
association territory, the reason being
that such tickets would be too easily
scalped. A committee was then APP
pointed to consider the matter and re-
port at the July meeting. In all proba-
blllty this committee will recommend
rates to and from the Eastern gateWays
OF the association a trifie higher than
the regular One-Way rates. with a close
limit Oh the tickets to head off the
scalperS. In the matter of special rates
for the Fourth of July a resolution was
adopted providing that between all
points in the territory of the association
round-trip excursion tickets may be sold
at rate of one fare and third where
the regular rate is three cents per mile,
and one fare and fifth where the rate
Is four cents per mile.
