BARNS ABLAZB.
A Lively Alley Fire That Gave the
Department Trouble.
Senator Dray's Horse and Two Bug.
Other Structures Damaged.

At O'Clock yesterday afternoon a fire
was discovered in the two-story barn be-
longing TO ex-senator f. r. Dray, in the
alley between Thirteenth and Fourteenth,
l and J streets.
An alarm was turned in and the depart
ment responded promptly. There was
some delay in turning in the alarm and
this, with the usual scarcity of water,
gave the fire fine start on the fire-lad-
dies. The flames communicated with the
barn on the west, owned by NJ. Chisholm,
and occupied by L. NJ. Lindley, and State
Printer Johnston's barn on the other
side. All three barns were welI-stocked
with hay and the fire burned fiercely.
Next the cottage on the corner Of the
alley and Fourteenth street, occupied by
J. c.. Halderman. caught fire, and some
sheds facing on the alley opposite the
burning barns.
Senator Dray was not at home. else his
handsome driving horse would have been
saved. AS it was, however, the ladies of
the house became too frightened to do
anything before the flames got under
Roadway, and the poor animal was
roasted. Two buggies were also con-
sumed in the bray barn.

and several sets of harness and a large
quantity of hay were lost. Miss Jennie
Lindley faced the flames bravely and
| saved the family horses after considerable
trouble. One Of her hands was badly
burned in doing so.
The department got the fire under con-
troll before the Halderman cottage was
destroyed completely. AS it was, though
about half of the building was burned off.
Mr.. Halderman is only a tenant, and his
loss will not amount to more than $500
There was no insurance on the building
Senator Dray's barn was insured. but he

buggies and contents of the barn. There
was no insurance on the barn occupied
by Mr.. Lindley, nor on the contents. His
loss is about $500. The rear of the Lind
ley dwelling was badly scorched, as were
also the Dray and Chisholm residences.
All were fully insured.
The fire was just about extinguished
when another was discovered at the cor
ner of Fourteenth and q streets. The
building owned by Frank Stadler had
become ignited from flying sparks from
the burning barns. By this time, how
ever, the water pressure was splendid,
and a dash from one of the lines soon
killed the new blaze. The roof was dam
aged to the extent of about $40.

Western League to Protection.
Manager Hanlon, of the Baltimore team,
was in the city yesterday on his way home.
He has secured Ward, Ferson and Sutclifre,
of the Milwaukee club, and means to keep
them.
Messrs. Hanlon. Temple and Byrne had a
long consultation regarding the Western
League yesterday afternoon. Mr.. Byrne
pointed out that the Western League for
feited all claim to protection by not paying
the ST 200 according to rule, and that all
Western League players signed recently by
the National League clubs can be held, This
means that Joe Kelly will come here.
The local club is greatly in need of an
other pitcher. Knell can be secured but he
is not well thought of. A club official stated
yesterday that the Baltimore club offered
Pfttsbnrg any pitcher on the Baltimore
team in exchange for Stricken, and Burns
took Terry. McMahon would have been the
better man. -
