Two Hires at the Hub.

AtBoston on the oath, two fires, which
were discovered at the same time, in
Albany Street district, occasioned three
alarms in quick succession. The. first
one was in the large tive-story brick
block, corner of Albany and Bristol
Streets, owned by the Joseph +. Paul
estate, known as Bristol Block and
occupied by Joseph F. Paul's sons and
many other concerns, all engaged
in various kinds of wool manutact-
uring. The fire was confined to the
northern end of the building. The
losses aggregate $4,000. The second
fire was in the fve-story building, "a to
50 Wareham Street, occupied by the
New England Organ Company, and
this structure was entirely burned. The
firm had about 100000 worth of stock
in various stages of manufacture, all of
which was ruined. During this fire
Henry Hart, of chemical engine No. S,
was badly burned by falling in the de-
bris. and Horseman Cobb, of engine

Oklahoma S first Legislature adjourned

code of laws, composition of the Da-

statutes. While drawing from
many different authorities the
code is rather mixed, but still,
on the whole, compares we'll with
the laws of the other territories. The
capital question was uppermost in the
minds of the members. Every other
measure was secondary, but when they
found that Gov. Steele would not APP
prove of a capital removal bill they got
down to work in earnest and did all
they could to adopt code of laws best
suited to the people of Oklahama.
