 Piles Holding Own.
 Sam Berlin. of the firm of Berlin Brothers, believes that the bank ad- joining his mammoth stables, will hold. Only a few years ago, $ large humber of piles were placed there al the expense of that firm and the small stable, just north of their large sta bles, rests upon these piles: Owing to the fact that the bank has not cav ed there, it is believed that the piles are preventing it. To avoid any dan ger, however, Mir. Berlin has moved all of his stock and vehicles from the stables on East Barraque street stables on East Bararque street. [ More Damage Last Night.
