Tuscaloosa, March 4.-(Special.)- J. One of the biggest blazes Tuscaloosa has ever witnessed was the opera house, together with two large houses and some stables and outhouses on the corner of Sixth Street and Twenty second Avenue, which were completely destroyed this morning. The fire was first detected at about 3 o'clock in one of the dwellings and though the de- partment worked faithfully the build" ings were too close. At one time it was thought that several blocks would be wiped out but with such energy of the department with favorable winds the fire was kept under control. The property was owned by Messrs. M. T.

Similar incidents have occurred 1T
