The fire originated in the rear stall of the barn and is supposed to be of incendiary origin. The house No. IA Madison street, occupied by Patrick Flynn, caught fire from the stable, but was soon extinguished with little damage.

Water Over the Dam.

BIRMINGHAM, May 18.-The water flowed
 over the dam Sunday for the first time since the solid wall was swept away last
 January; and it was 8 welcome sight to manufacturers and residents alike. Large quantities came from the canal overflow,
 but that coming over the dam was small in volume. The river rose rapidly, owing to
 Saturdays rains, and the strong wind
 sweeping down the valley blew the water
 down against the dam. The stream pour ing over the temporary dam and falling on
 the rocks made beautiful sight. Work on the dam was not carried on at all dur ing the day Sunday.

Entertainments" HYPERION THEATER.

"Ship Ahoy," new comic opera rem dered by an organization second to none in the country, will be the attraction Fri day and Saturday. The Boston Herald says of the production in that city: The composer and librettist have worked over their original efforts in certain portions of the three acts, and some bright lines and tuneful melodies have resulted from their lsbors. The topical song has been made to do its share in supplying merriment, ,and local affairs have been hit off in a clever fashion in many cases. The best evidence for 8 popular liking for "Ship Ahoy" has been given at the box office, and any argu- ment as to it's artistic value has been rem dered useless from managerial stand point by the solid array of dollars and cents resulting from every performance. GRAND OPERA HOUSE.
 tsThe Black Thorn" with W. H. Sloan in the roll of Denny Dolan, opened its three nights engagement last evening. The piece has been revised thoroughly and as now presented it tells the old story in 8 more interesting way than ever Several pleasing specialties make the en. 1 tertainment enjoyable, as they are intro
