 Tucson, Feb. 25.-(Special corres- ponderce of The Republican, )-Yes- terday afternoon a cigarette or care lessly thrown match was the cause of a fire which destroyel the stable of Fire Marshal Jack Boleyn. Fortunate ly the livestock was engaged in trans fer work and only few teams were left to be hauled out. There was baled hay stored in the premises by Ivanovitch and Zeckendorf & Co. The loss in this respect is total, only light insurance being carried by the firms. In volume the amount in tons varied from twenty to 235 tons according to the authority. Inquiry of the firms revealed a total little less than 200 tons. Water was not played on the fire for twenty minutes after it's origin, the pressure of the city water being too low for effective service. The s. F. operatives were summoned and ran hose 400 feet, this brigade doing good service. By tearing down fences they removed exposure to the fine residence of Superintendent Epes Randolph, and other residences of less value Will ing hands kept the flames from the big livery stable of Chris Christensen. The horses were let loose and of these Ed L. Vail's team struck out for Rose mont, forty miles distant Fortunate ly the wind was light, otherwise tEe disaster would have meant loss of many thousands of dollars, as the rail- road buildings, the San Xavier, Wor- then & Co.'S buildings and Tucson cOmpany's lumber yards were greatly exposed, as well as the properties above mentioned
 A prominent Tucsonian was pro- nOunced in his remarks concerning the opposition manifested in respect to the offer of Phoenix parties to introduce water system. This, he said, arose from petty jealousies that have exist ed for years and he thought it was time that common sense should pre- vail. Phoenix money, said the citi- zen, in Tucson was fully as good as eastern capital. He desired the Re publican representative to roast some body, but I suggested mild treatment. The Republican correspondent prefer red to stand aloof and hoped harmony and good fellowship should prevail. which would lead to healthy results to both communities.
