There was an alarm of fire, Tuesday morning, about o'clock. The fire proved to be in one story building be- tween Nichols Opera house and the Fox hotel. The building was used as mar ket, but unoccupied, and was entirely destroyed. The Opera house, 8 brick building, was badly damaged. Doors, windows and part of the eornice and roof was burned away. The fire eat it way into the block and into the apart nents occupied by William ". Fox and family and few boarders, and also up into the attic used in common by all the tenants. The flames followed the roof nearly the entire length of the block It appeared as if no human eff.3rt could save the building from destruction. The firemen cut hole through the roof and directed stream of water along the inside of the rafters which soon checked the blaze and extiaguished the fire. Most of the tenants moved out their household goods which were dam ages by water. MT Fox had no insur- ance on his furniture which was dam aged by both fire and water. Most of the occupants were fully insured. The
