STILL. ANOTHER FIRE.

1t was about half-past eight o'clock in
the evening Of the same day when again
the alarm of fire was sounded This time
il was the stables in the rear of Mrs
Leah Tingle's residence. By tho time
the scene of the conflagra,ion could be
reached, the whole structure was a mass
OF flames, so the most important thing
was to save the handsome new residence
OF Mr.. George I. Bratten, the homes Of
Captain Howard, Lawrence Hastings and
Mrs. Tingle. Sparks were flying thick
and fast but careful watch prevented
further damage than the burning of the
stables and carriage house. This fire is
supposed 10 have been the work of an in
cendiary. A servant girl of Mr.. \. ID.
Irwin says she saw man 20 10 the
stables with lighted lantern she saw a
flash of flame, the man dropped the Ian
tern and ran away as fast AS his legs
could carry him. II was only Il few min
utes thereafter before the building was all
