The fire-bcll sounded about 2 o'clock,
yesterday, and, of course, everybody was
frightened, owing to the fact that every
thing was as dry as finder. Had the
hrc got well started. there is no telling
how much damage would have been
done. The fire company made dash
for the Fourth ward, from whence came
the alarm, and was soon on the ground,
but the fire had been extinguished. The
cause of the trouble was sparks from
the flue on W. H. Stewards house. For
tunately, the fire was discovered soon
after it started, and, by dint' of hard
work on on the part of few near neigh
bors, the house and its contents were
saved. Indeed, no damage was done ex-
cept to the shingles on the kitchen roof.
