heavens followed by the cry of fire. "
so startling on cold night, especially
when fierce wind is raging. The fire
apparatus was manned and was soon
in the neighborhood of the conhagr&-
ton, which was on .Jamieson's Hill, an
eminence northeast of the Portncr
Brewery and south of the old canal
basin. The fire was raging in bunch
Of houses built under one roof, the
front doors of three of which opened 10
the north and three to the south. The
property being situated without the
fire limits and in q locality where 10
water plugs exist, there was nothing 10
be done save let it burn and keep the
embers from lodging on contiguous
houses. Being wooden buildings, they
burned like finder and lighted up tie
northeastern section of the city and
part of the river, the effect upon the
fallen snow producing grandeur which
might have been enjoyed had it not
been for the fact that between thirty
and forty people, white and colorcd,
battling with poverty during the rigors
OF winter, were standing about SILVER
ing in the cold while the only shelter
they had from the Indictment weather
was being destroyed. Some sad scenes
were witnessed. Halfawake and half
clothed children chartered their teeth
and shivered and chung TO their elders
for shelter. while old and infirm per-
sons became benumbed and helpless
and had to be carried bodily to friend
~ neighbors' houses. The six houses
were owned by w. E. Dulany, colored,
and were occupied by some white people
named respectively Lucas and Russell,
and number Of colored persons. They
were insured for $400. A house nd
joining. occupied by colored man
named Jones, was also destroyed. The
fire is supposed 10 have been accidental.

we offer you our entire stock
at a great sacrifice.
Remember there are fully
three months of cold weather,
during which time a comforta-
bic wrap will be very agreea-
bic, and at the remarkably low
prices to which we have re-
duced them every one can af-
ford to have a suitable gar
ment. Notwithstanding the
unprecedented sales we have
thus far had in this department
this season, we have yet a very
fair assortment both in styles
and sizes, and those anticipat-
ing buying would do well to
call at once before the line is
broken receive the benefit of
these great cut prices.
All our SIS garments are
now S12.
Those that were s12.5o and
SI4 are now $40, and
The $40 ones are $3.50.
This same uniform reduction
exists all through the line. We
need the room we want to
convert them into money and
we propose to sell them at
prices to make them move.
