FIRE ALARMS.

This morning at $50 o'clock the fire
department was called to box 236, on
East Commerce and Olive streets, to
eXtinguish a fire in some bales of cot
ton and excelsior that had escaped the
flames at the GrOna mattress factory
fire of few nights ago. The fire was
quickly eXtinguished without much
loss. Some incendiary had evidently
set a match to the cotton, which stood
in bales in the yard.
Mr.. Conrad, an East Commerce
street storekeeper near Lehr's saloon,
Yesterday discovered a negro boy
with can of kerosene pouring out
the oil on the floor of his stOrehOuse
while he had lighted lamp i'll his
other hand The boy was promptly
chased away, after promising not to
attempt such a fOolhardy thing again.
1t was thought he was not respOn-
sible for his action, so no police sum-
mons was made.
At II o'clock this morning the adj
iacant companies were called to box
II on Lachapelle and South Flores
streets, to put out small fire in an
clubhouse in the neighborhoOd. No

defendant was proven guilty and as
sesSed the penalty, SO fine and one
