A BAD FIRE NARRowL z AvnRrRD.
Discovered in Time to Prevent Serious
Confagration.

A very dangerous fire broke out
this morning in the second story of
Pickering & Wilkerson's confection-
cry. Had it occurred at night or had
it not been discovered in time it
would have burnt out the establish
ment, if not several other buildings,
and the same been charged to an /. :
cendiary. Presence of mind and
good management on the part OF
Jesse Pickering saved the premises
and exting uished the fire without
giving the alarm and with very
slight danger.
The fire caught in the wainscoating
over the fireplace, which was covered
with sheet iron and wainscoating.
1t is a mystery how the fire. caught
at this place and got through the
sheet iron covering, which was red
hot when discovered and the blaze
running up to the ceiling on the in
side. The only conclusion is that a
spark muat have fallen ovt from the
fiue in Mr.. Rosenfield's store, which
connects with this.
The fire was getting under rapic
Roadway and the house filled with
smoke to suffocation. 1t was coo
head that did not get lost in such ar
emergency, preventing excitemen
and suppressing the fire before il
was Known.

"ERMINIE. !"
The Opera Successfully Present
ed Last Night.
The Largest Audience of the Season at
tests its Appreciation by Frequent
Applause.

The opera, Erminie, was presented
at the opera house last night to a
splendid audience, the largest prob
ably of the season. The fact that the
event had been so well advertised
and so long in preparation had stim-
ulated interest to the highest pitch, re-
sulting financially, at least, very satis-
factorily. Miss Smith has been indie
fatigable in her efforts TO make it
success, and incurred heavy ex-
pense importing costumes.
The LEAF. CHRoNICLE's columns
