DESSAISTAnni... CONFLACIRATION.—On
'Saturday night, about nine o'clockrbar
citizens wore startled by the cry of fire,
which was found to be shooting up in
great tongues of flame from some sta
bles in the alloys on the square between
Main and Spring and Howard and High
Streets. Pretty soon, every stable in
that locality was on fire, with two or
three exceptions, and the sight present
ed was one well calculated to terrify
the beholders ? to whom it looked as if
the whclo town, would shortly be sub
merged in • sea of fire. As soon as
possible the Hose Company was on the
ground and began to play a heavy
stream of water upon the fiercely-burn
ing stables. The fire had attained such
headway, however, that it was impossi
ble to check it, and the best that could
be done was to attempt to save the oth
er buildings hard by.
Directly, in spite of all that could be
done, the residence of Mr. Isaac Mil
ler, on the corner of the alley and llow
ard street caught fire and was burned
to the ground, the flames raging with
ungovernable fury. For a time the
house of Mrs. Longwell, on the oppo
site side of the street, was in danger,
and that lady had all her bedding pack
ed up ready fy transportation on the
shortest pogfble notice. Fortunately,
however, all.the buildings on that situp
of the street were saved. On Main
Street, all the residences from Idsouian
us's corner to the alley, wore for a time
in great danger, but were eventually
saved. All the stables in the rear of
them, however, were cOhlumed to 'ashes.
The residences on Spring Street were
likewise endangered, and their stables
were also burned up. It was most for
tunate that but little wind was blowing
at the time, otherwise the entire square
might have been destroyed.
About cloven o'clock, the conflagra
tum having spent its force, the crowds
were beginning to disperse to their
homes, congratulating themselves that
all danger was over for the night, and
many had already attained their couch
es, and were beginning to lose their
senses in sleep, when suddenly a bright
light Is again seen, and the fearful cry
of "tire! Orel" once more rings out up
on the midsnight air. This - time It is
the rear of the furniture store of Geo
Cliryen, whore the carpenter shop is,
that is on fire, and the wildly dancing
flames shoot high above the doomed old
Armory building The people see them,
end at once say that the whole row is
gone; and so it is, for in a few moments
Mr Graham's shoe store is aflame, then
the poet-office, and then Blanchard's
row, and then the old building on the
corner of the alloy. All aro now wrap
ped in one sheet of are, and effects of
all descriptions are tumbled indiscrimi
nately into the street, until the whole
square is filled with all sorts of goods
and property The whole lined build
ings from Burnside's corner to the Re
publican office is burned to the ground,
and naught now remains, but the deso
late ruins.

The Republican WA the total loss 01
real and personal property at from $70,-
000 to $90,000. This, we think, Is
much too high. Thirty-five or forty
thousand dollars will cover the whole
loss, and if there is as much insurance
as that paper says there is, to wit, $35,-
686, the thing is pretty nearly oven.
There wore a number of funny inci
dents which occurred during tho excite
ment of tho lire that ougi.t to be print

to attend tq them now. We may prob
ably refer to them again.
The 11'4 compapy behaved nobly.

been for their untirinit and fearless ef
forts, there is no telling where the con
flagration would have ended. Too
much praise cannot be awavted them
for their most gallant and efficient con
duct.

wood add George Morrison took up after him.
This Is the largest day's work upon record.
They are all sound Republlc.ans. If any Dem
ocrats Id the county can beat this. let us

This Reuben Underwood is groat on
a blow, but ho forgets to toll how ono of
his own party passed over the field af
terward and stated that he could easily
have put each sheaf of the 190 dozen in
hie hat—they wore so small. Ile also
forgets to tell how Joseph Alexander,
a veteran old Democrat, challenged him
(Underwood) to a cradling match,guar
anteeing to pny him ton dollars in case
ho did not got more than a rod behind
him (Alexander) during tho day, and
how ho was to forfeit only his own
day's wages in case ho did got further
behind than that. Unthirwood, or hie
chronicler for him, also forgets to state
how ho backed out of this challenge, af
ter first accepting it, and how ho didn't
make his appearance in the field, whore
Alexander was promptly on hand to
meet him. All these things this great
Radical cradler forgets to tell, but they
tiro all true, nevorthelass. Old Mr.
Alexander hacked him out, and Dc
moracy is still ahead.
