Joseph Loeb, on Third avenue between Eighteenth and Nineteenth streets The fire was dis covered at II: 30 o'clock last night by policemen of the morning shift while go- ing through Third alley to the streets on their way to their beats. The contents of both buildings. which were heavily insured, were probably completely de- stroyed
 Fire stations Nos. 1, g. and an swered the first alarm, but Chief Ben nett soon saw that these four were not enough to cope with the flames, which had already gained an enormous head way and second alarm was sounded. The companies responding to this alarm, combined with the first four, were not sufficient to combat the fire, and the third alarm was sent in. All companies in old Birmingham except No. Il then appeared on the scene and until o'clock thfs morning were still fighting the flames. In all. there were F companies, at least 30 lines of hose and i've fire engines fighting the fire.
 Where Fire Started
 As nearly as could be ascertained, the fire originated in the rear of the second floor of the compartment of the build ing occupied by Loveman, Joseph & Loeb It is said that in this spot there are kept llnseed oil and waste used for pol ishing furniture, which, piled together, caused spontaneous coml tion. When the fire department reachesS the blazing structure, the flames were beyond con trol At the end of an hour, however, they had the situation well in hand. and the fire confined to it's place of origina- tion. It seemed for awhile, though, as if the whole block must go, and many members of the department had given up the Majestic theatre building for lost. Then several lines of hose were laid across the roof of the theatre and the fire was fought from that side and kept from going further west. On the east side of the building there are a number of one story buildings, which are in no danger unless the walls fall.
 At 3 o'clock this morning the fire was still burning, although 1t was nearly ex- tlnguished except for spot at the north east corner of the building To reach this spot was almost impossible, as it was several feet below the parapet and sev- eral feet above the window next below, and all the fire on the inside would have 10 be extinguished. before 1t could be reached.
 Robert Ewing. president of Roberts & S.4n. stated last night that the company carried s60,000 insurance upon the stock and equipment of their establishment and that the damage would easily reach $75,000.
 Leopold Loeb of Loveman, Joseph & Loeb stated that new stock of furni- ture had just been placed in their part of the building and that an exact esti- mate could not be placed on the loss nor the insurance. However, an approximate estimate of $75,000 was placed upon the stock and other articles stored in the furniture rooms.

formerly residing on Quarry street,

 The program will consist of the usual picnic entertainments, while several good roads speeches will be made, and an organization will be formed to make a good road between Buckville and Cedar Glades in Mont gomery county to Hot Springs.
 This road project is of especial in- terest here because the road to Cedar Glades is the regular avenue for our resideijss of Baxter township, and they all reach this city by that route. lThe road is very good most of the way, but along the river is rough ana needs some grading and few cul. lyerts and bridges.

 but it seems has not been laid to ad- vantage.
 The drumming ordinance which re- quires that every hotel or boarding
 house solicitor shall take out his own license, instead of the license being
 carried by the hotel owner in behalf
 of himself, was taken up and passed.
 The ordinance was drawn by Alder
 man Ellis and is very satisfactory to
 the physicians and others interested
 in the drumming fight, since it places
 closer restrictions on the privilege. I Alderman Petit of the committee
 on duplicate named streets reported
 that there were A duplicates in the
