Fires Yesterday,

An alarm OF fire was given yesterday
afternoon about o'clock from box go.
1t being in the territory of the Vigilant
Company they promptly responded.
The cause of the alarm was the burning
OF shed on Fourth street S. o. A few
minutes later another alarm was give n
from box % and was responded to by
the Erie ndship Fire Company. a new
house belonging to a man named
Hudson, in North Carolina. which was
nearing completion on Seventh avenue
n. g., csught fire by one OF the painters
employed at work on the building,
dropping match in o can of turpentine.
The rear part of the upper portion of
the house was badly damaged. The loss.
which will amount to about $3.50, will
fall on the contractor, w. D. Myers, as
the building had never been received by
the owner.

THE MARKET HOUSE WORK.


Council, the board OF public works and
the public can form a clear idea Of what
tho market men think of the brick floor
about to be laid in the market house.
AS practical men they one and all OBJ
ject to il, and are unanimous in claim
ing that irst-class concrete is the only
proper floor.
THE TIMES agrees with them, a brick
floor in market house will necessarily
harbor grease and dirt in the cracks and
even in the pores of the bricks them
selves rendering place which should
be model of cleanness, unwholescme,
foulsmelling and unhealthy.
The alley beside the market is also
In nee of treatment. At present it is
3 muddy, dirty place unfit for use. 1t
ought to be raised, sloped and paved.
Tue market house work is being done
by force account, and not by contract.
Force account work has proved ex-
tremely expensive in the past, and
usually there is no one to hold respon-
sible for it's faithful execution.

CLEANING THE CITY.

The work of cleaning up the city is
making reasonably satisfactory pro-
gress; property owners are being served
with notices to clean up cellars and
open lots, by the police, and will be
held to an immediate and strict COM
pliance with the law. Lime is being
freely scattered in streets, alleys and
vacant lots.
The good work should be pushed with
the utmost vigilance and thoroughuess
On Railroad avenue men were busy
soraping black mud out of the gutter
and spreading it on the street. This
was mestunwise proceeding and should
never have been permitted.
The worst areas are the open lots on
Campbell street and Salem avenUe eel
lars. The authorities should relax no
vigilance until they are all thoroughly
cleaned and lined
