Two Of Them Checked Ia the Busaneee
District Last Night.
Two fires broke out simultan-
eously in the business district last
night, but early discoveries and
prompt work Of the department
saved serious damage. which would
have certainly been wrought had the
flames been given sway few mo-
ment longer.
The first alarm called the depart
ment to the alley between Sixteenth
and Seventeenth streets, south Of Sec
ond avenue, where the flames were
playing havoc with a shed at the rear
Of the Flemming Furniture company
store. Chief Johnson's men soon
had the blaze, which illuminated the
city for a few blocks distant, ex.
tisguished. The damage, Mr.. Flem-
ming says will reach about 5000, q
number of picture frames inside the
store having been damaged by water.
The fire. it is thought. had its origin
from spark from q pile of burning
rubbish on Sixteenth street in front
Of the federal building. This blaze
had hardly been quenched before an.
mother fire was discovered in an old
barn at the rear of the White Seal
saloon on Second avenue. The barn
is occupied by Hackman Evans
horses. The blaze started in a mang-
er. and was put out by few buckets
of water.
The No. 3 fire company was called
to Thirty-eighth street and Sixth av-
enue this afternoon to put out a fire
which was devouring an old barn.

was killed. When the survivor was re-
ieved from duty, he made the custom
airy written report in the usual form,
Nothing extraordinary. And this

the characteristic constituencies of its

Atmosphere.

There is wide difference Of opinion
among the learned men of the world as
to what would be the effect Of wholly
removing the atmosphere. Some think
that if it were possible to live afterward
all the stars. planets. etc, would be
visible in broad daylight. Others de-
clare that there would be no day. and
that the sun itself could not be seen un-
der such conditions. Louis Repub-
