In view of the dry weather and
the scarcity of water, we believe
the Mayor would do we'll to issue
his proclamation forbidding the
firing of crackers and all other
fireworks from now until after the
holidays unless we get some rain.
We have noticed the careless and
malicious firing of Roman candles
and crackers in yards, houses, on
dry roofs, in fact, everywhere liza
bic to set fire. Even grown per-
sons indulge in the stupid prac-
tice of firing Roman candles at
one another, endangering life and
property. We believe the Mayor
would act wisely and would re-
ceive the appreciation of the peo-
pie of the town to stop the firing
of all fireworks as long as the dry
weather continues.

FIRE..


nesday morning at about half past
ten o'clock, having its origin in
the kitchen of Mr.. F. q. Power,
caused by the upturning of a ga
soline stove. The flames spread
very rapidly and in a very short
time the whole building was wrap
ped in mass of devouring flames.
The fire departments with the
hand engines and buckets kept
the adjourning building, occupied
BY Mr.. j. j. Burdin wet with the
hope of checking the fire until the
steam engine was ready to play a
stream, but the flames were too
quick, for before the steamer
could give assistance the second
building was beyond hope; the at
tention of the firemen we're then
directed to the residence of Mr..
Tsrville Bienvenu which had TAX
en- fire aud the Office and residence
of DR.. Delaureal which were only
saved by hard work and the large
quantity of water.
At tho time of the fire q light
wind was blowing from the North
which blew cinders and sparks in
a thickly built part of town caus-
ing fire to take on half q dozen
buildings at about the same time,
but as these buildings were close
ly watched the fire was immediat-
ely put out with damages.
Capt. French, the officers and
crow Of the Steamer Octavia rem
dered valuable assistance.
The first building burned, was
owned by Mr.. Charles Guerniere,
and occupied by Mr.. F. q. Power,
the second was owned by Mr.. w.
B. Eastin, and was the exact mo-
del of the FIRST one, Mr.. Eastin's
building was occupied by Mr.. J,
j. Burdin. The loss of Mr.. Guer.
Mere is estimated at 500 and that
of Mr.. Eastin also at 500. Mr.
Burdin claims his damages and
loss fully 5000. Mr.. Powers Loss
is great, what was saved was ruin
ed, besides some $50 or $40 II
money was burned. The Furni.
ture of Mr.. Terville Bienvenu wal
damaged by removing from The
house. Several others of the neigh
bors had more or less damages BY
packing and moving their house
hold articles.
There was not cent of insu
ance on the building or furniture
lost and damaged.
