MORE FIRES.

There were two more fires, Thursday night, last week, going at the same time, giving the firemen busy time. At about 10.30 they were summoned down to the south end of the city, A barn owned by John McGlone was on fire. They had barely got at work on the burning barn when an alarm was sent broken out in Elm street, in a building adjoining the old Monopal Garden, which might have been a destructive affair. The fire (one) steamer came laundering back and soon the fire was under control
 but considerable damage was done. A saloon, restaurant and barber shop were in the building. A building adjoining,
 was burned, in which was also saloon.
 The Pratt house was in great danger, but
 through the effort of the firemen was
 saved. The buildings were owned by James s. Taylor. This fire was very near where the last Elm street fire was few weeks ago. It is thought the build- ings were set on fire. So also was the barn, probably. McGlone's damage is estimated at $500. Some insurance. Taylor's loss, about 5000; we'll insured. The saloons damage is put at $500 in one case, in another $500, insured; the barber shop $100,and some other damage. Foreman Brownell was considerably hurt after the fire in the eompany's hose tower. A heavy wrench fell a distance
 of nearly 50 feet striking him on the
 head, opening the scalp in two ugly
 gashes. It will disable him for short
 time only,it is hoped.
