FIEE. —The alarm of tire was given about
8 o'clock last evening. It was soon ascertain
ed that W. H. DECKER'S barn,on an alley be
tween Chestnut and Houston streets, was
burning. The firemen responded with their
usual promptness, but before they could reach
the scene the flames had spread with such ra
pidity that it was found impossible to save
the building. Two other barns, one on the
M. C. MERCURplace,andC. T. MCKINNKY'S, 1
were also burned. Through the efforts of
the Naiads, who were tirst on the ground,
Mr. MCKINNEY'S new house was saved, but
the south side was badly scorched. Mr. McK
had 110 insurance. His barn contained one .
ton of hay, 25 bushels of oati, some corn, etc. 1
His loss must be $250. We did not learn the 1

amount of insurance, if any, on the other
barns. The origin of the tire is not known.
The Water Works have not yet tendered
the hydrants 111 that section to the borough>
but as soon a* it was ascertained where the
tire was water was let into the line and kind
ly offered to the tiremcn. A powerful stream
was thrown with force enough to have car
ried it over the highest building. The exper
iment was highly satisfactory to the Company
•and all who witnessed it. It demonstrated
the fact that ample protection from lire will
be afforded that neighborhood when the Wa"
ter Works are completed.
The President's Condition.
The latest news from Washington af
fords a faint ray of hope that the Presi.
dent is rallying again. Let us hope and
pray aliat He with whom are the issues of
life and death, may mercifully taisehim
up.
