when A. r. Fowler's livery stable and several
buildings were destroyed. The description of
this fire may convey an idea Of the changes
which have taken place in this neighborhood
since the Civil War. The account reads:
"On the morning of the 26th of July 1885,
about Is minutes past 1 O'Clock, fire broke
out in the frame livery stable of Mr.. Fowler
New York avenue below Fifteenth street.
Before the firemen reached the spot the fire,
favored by the combustibe material Of which
the stable was constructed and the contents
OF that and adjoining buildings, had gained
so rapidly as to prevent the saving of the
stable.
There were some 30 horses one COW and
number OF fine carriages of various kinds in
the stables. The vehicles were all safely re-
moved, and some of the horses, but the ma
jority persisted miserably. The firemen were
all soon upon the spot and water was poured
freely on the flames and upon the surrounding
property, but it was of no avail with the sta
bles, as they were utterly destroyed Nineteen
horses and one cow were burned, and the re-
mainder wandered off throughout the city, but
were being restored to their owner this morn

son & Gallant and the paint shop of Mr.
Bowen. adjoining buildings, were also de-
stroyed. Mr.. FowlerS loss was about s., 900,
on which he has an insurance of s., 900; the
losses OF Mr. Bowen about 81 ,o0o, On which he
