FIRE AT WATERLOO.-The huge
bank of light seen in the northwestern
heavens last night was caused by the
burning Of the plant of the Washington
Hydraulic Press Brick Company. a.
Waterloo, in the county, few miles
north fthis city. The plant was a.:
most totally destroyed. The loss will
amount to 100000. The property was
fully insured. The origin OF the fire is
unknown as yet, AS there was no
means OF combating the flames, ex-
Cept the compsny's private apparatus,
they burned until there was nothing for
them to feed on. Aside from the loss
on the plant, thousands of bricks piled
under the sheds were damaged, but 1t
will take several days to determine
how serious the loss is from that source.
The company employed over 100 hands
upwards of 80 of which lived 10 this
city. These men will be temporarily
thrown out OF work, but 10 is under
stood that the company will 10 short

MODERN Housewife real estate
agents report an increasing demand for
medium size houses with modern in
provements which rent from $l2 to SO
a month, and say there are DOW but
very few of such houses for rent in this
city. This fac. has been calltd TO the
attention of the building associations
and the officers of those associations
are now discussing the ACCESSIBILITY q
using a portion of the money now
seeking INVESTMENT in erecting modern
houses, as they think the rents for
such houses would pay better interest
than any other investment. The own
ers Of old property are also advised by
the real estate men to remodel their
houses and fit them with modern con-
veniences. &C., or otherwise, they say,
such houses will soon be without ten
ants, for but few people will now
rent homes unless they are 80 fitted.
