p IBE —An alarm of fire sounded through
our streets on Tuesday morning last, between
three and four o'clock. The alarm proceeded
from the Car Repair Shop, north-east of the
Pcftot of the New York & Erie Rail Road.
Before the Engines which were promptly on
the ground, could he got to work, the fire had
ienveloped the entire building, aud from the
it was evident that nothing could he done
except prevent the spread of the flames to
other buildings, of which there was little dan
ger The Shop was entirely consumed. The
principal loss must lie in tools, as the building
ka> not valuable. The entire loss will not ex
ceed SSOO. rt is said that there was large
quantities of material for cleaning the cars mix
,'j with oil in the shop, and it is more than
probable that the fire originated from some
thing of this kind. If spontaneous eombus tion
can occur from oil and cotton, it had as good
an opportunity here to try itself as it could iind
tl-ewhere. The Fire Companies aud the citi
zens generally, were promptly on the ground,
and all that could be done was done. Capt.
Fox. the Chief Engineer of the Fire Depart
ment. was on hand with the first, and directed
in getting water from the reservoir. The wa
ter was lowered into the box of the Engine
the same way it is poured into the tender of
the steam engines.— Oirrgo Times.
