Destroyed.
| Fire alarm No. 81 was sounded at 1.
| o'clock last night. which called the depart
ment to the corner OF Chapman and New
Orleans streets, in tho Fifth ward. A few
minutes after the first alarm was given q
general alarm was sounded.
The cause Of the fly,s could not be ac-
counted for, It's origin being In large two
story house which was unoccupied. There
were two two-story houses. which had been
used as boarding houses, and one story
cottage burned. The two houses were
owned by John Lang and the cottage by
Godleip Peltzsner, being occupied by c. +.
Lehman. Mr.. Lehman saved nearly all OF
his household goods, but they were badly
damaged in moving.
Tho fire department was prompt to re-
spond. but the pressure OF water being so
light 1t was with much difficulty that the
fire was kept from spreading Chief Ravell
gives as the cause OF tho light pressure the
fact that everybody has their faucets open
during this cold weather, which greatly
reduces the pressure In the pipes. Even the
steamer could obtain only fifty pounds
pressure.
