Yesterday (Thursday) at about W

fire was turned on and the whistle at-the-

from" the table w|$h.a dinner only partially eaten. ^V; ■* "       -    .
The scene of the fire was a lumber pile
in Homing's mill yard.   The fire was-
first discovered by R. Museott, who Wac-
going home to his dinner along the street
and gave? the alarm.   The  lumber  pile
was fairly well seasoned and. notwith- •
standing the dampness occasioned hy the
late rains, the flames spread with great;
rapidity.   The ."hose company liespondecH
readily and in a yery few minutes wer&
upon  the  scene  doing  effective work*
The fire was about two blocks from the   .
nearest hj'draht, aud it $vas found that
hot enough hose wras -had tb lay two
streams.   A brisk wind w^as blowing from
the north-east and carried the smoke and
sparks directly toward the center of. the
yard.   The flames*- communicated to .a.
second, to a third and soon to a f ourfcHs
pile,- and great fear was entertained least?  ;
