Fire in Lumber District on SatIeday
 Night.
 A lively fire at the sawmill of the George E. Johnston company 9S Water street, in the lumber district, gave the fire department a hard battle early Saturday evening and did between $1,- 800 and $2,0O0 damages before it was got under control. The firemen direct- ed six streams on the blaze with good effect.
 The origin of the fire is not known. It broke out at about 5:15 o'clock, soon after the shop had been closed for the day. John H. Linsley, manager for the Benedict Coal company, whose yards are near by, first noticed the flames. It had gained good headway before the department arrived and much anxiety was felt concerning the safety of the many surrounding yards. The quick way in which the firemen subdued the flames was generally commended by spectators and nearby mill owners.
 Machinery of value in the workshop was ruined but the loss is covered by insurance.
 Two tenants in part of the building lost several hundred dollars worth of tools.

Much in- terest in all these matters was express ed, and the association will hold an other meeting next Sunday.
