CITY HALL
BURNED.
Another Disastrous Fire and
Thousands of Dollars
Go Up in Smoke.
OPERA HOUSE AND FIRE
STATION GO.

AT 1870 this morning Bryan was
visited by another disastrous fire II
whigh the city hall was burned, leay
irs only the bare walls standing. The
Malls are no doubt ruined and If sc
1 the loss is total.
The opera house, located in the sec
ond story, John b, Mike lessee and
manager. was also total loss.
The rooms down stairs were oc'
cupied by the fire station, the coun-
ell chamber, City Secretarys office,
city calaboose, Firemens meeting
room. and the sleeping room of the
driver of the fire wagon. All the fur
niture and apparatus of all these
rooms and offices were saved. The
city books were all locked in the new
vault that was built only few
months ago. and the vault is intact
and the books no doubt are in per-
feet shape.
Mr.. John b. Hines, who also had
his insurance office in the room ad-
joining the Secretary's office, saved
all his books, papers and office furni-
ture. and his loss will be very little
if anything.
The fire company saved all of their
fife fighting apparatus. All the extra
hose, the big steamer. hooks, ladders,
etc. were all taken out to places of
safety. They also saved all the fur
niture in their meeting room except
a swinging lamp.
Mr.. John b. Mike is a heavy loser.
All his opera house furniture and fix
scenery, electrical APP
planes. etc, were totally consumed.
He also had his private office in the
front of the building, and his desk,
chairs, and all his private papers
were burned Mr.. Mike has certain
~ been a heavy loser from fire dur
ing the past few months, losing two
residences one occupied by c.
NJ. Spell, his own, and now the opera
house.
The fire started behind the scenes
upstairs, and those who saw it first
think it originated in the property
room. 1t was burning mass in the
dressing rooms and among the seen
cry when the alarm was given The
fremen had several lines of hose laid
in short order and the pressure was
fairly good. They were badly handi-
capped however by not eing able
10 get to the fire. They could not
play their streams on it from the
ground and ladders were raised to
he upper windows, but as only one
nan could stand at the top, the hose
could not be handled Before they
,ould make any Roadway against it,
he flames bursted through the roof
