with th Flamoa-Huiiied Stocks of
Ptirdy Son and the 'Tair."
A i reported In The Tribune of yester
day, briefly, Carbondale experienced
the greatest conflagration it has ever
had in ita liintory. The hulldiiiRH

cer and eljfht Bet-ret societies. They
xvere almply gutted by the Humes and
burned with great fierceness.
The discovery of the fire was made
about 1 o'clock by W. D. Kvana (one of
the owner) and Julius Moses, who were
returning; hom at the time. When
they noticed the signs of Are upon the
second story they gave an alarm and
Constable Neary was soon upon the
Krone. The Columbian were notified
and but a lew minutes passed before a
Kfreum of water was turned on. V. D.
Kvana ventured to enter the second
atory where they saw the Are, but he
had to retrent owing to the dense smoke
and had to be helped nut to the air. It
wn anticipated that the fire would
amount to a great deal, and It was not
reallxed that the companies would be
required until the doors and windows
were opened, when the flames flushed
through the entire building. It then
became Very evident that the firemen
had a hard struggle before them.
Another general alarm was sent out
and all the companies responded. There
were five streams playing upon the
Mr and an united effort was made to
save the Assembly halt and the Pair
building. Kilt the flames played havoc
and all the forces could not check it
for some time. By & o'clock the fire
was conquered, thanks to the inde
fatlgaMe efforts of the fire companies.
atid it was a blessing that there was no
wind, or the whole block would -have
been swept away.
It Is Impossible to place an estimation
upon the loss experienced. There is not
much of value left In the hardware
store of Ptirdy & Sons, and much of
the stock of the Fair has been damaged.
The following were the insurances,
as far as can be ascertained: I'pon
