North Oakley street. A: frame barn bas Juét been huilt tnere, some twenty-five feet in wiath, sixteen to cizhteen tect indepth, and eighteen tect high. ‘The structure is apparently designed for a stable, coach-house, und loft. . It is entirely inclosed, has n Inrge door to allow the entrance of a buggy or earriaze in the reur, tronting on the alley; a window on the same side: and 2 door on the side nearest the house. ‘Tue roof is flat. ‘The block on which. this additional fire-trap has been constructed 1S THICKLY BUILT UP with frame dwelimes and barns. Starting from the alley north of Fulton street, on the east side of Oaxley, and including’ the block bounded by. Carroll street. and the: alley which runs north and south, there is nothing but frame structurcs tobeseen. Some of the dwellings on Oakley strect are on the front of the lots and others gendwiched between, more toward the ulles, Anus forming # continuous range inflammable ‘vuildings: Along the alley in tho rear of the lots stretches a line ‘of Larns, woodsheds, and . other frame erections, including a two-story In many frame used as a carpenter-shop. touch, places tho buildings actually ana mro connected directly with sheds, while tho lattor join. right along. WNo more dangerous location could possibly be Selected tur experimental incendiarism; for, given u box of matches, 1 small boy, and tive minutes’ start of the Fire Department, the whole block would go. Adjoining blucks are af the same general character, and, with anything “like a breeze and a fittle delay in getting the en- tines to work, a very respectable contlasration might and would follow. ‘The building referred tois sucha palpable and determined violation vf the law that it is impossible for its buildersto resent any excuse for its erection. And it would seem, if the Building Departmen: nmounted to anything at all, that the construc- uon of such an offense against the law would never be allowed. THE FACTS IN THIS OUTRAGEOUS CASE are about as follows: The middle of last week a genticman. passing by the place where the darn was building noticed that it was being pul ce. ‘up in tagrant violation of we fire ordin: had been torn down, and the curpenters we at work building a new one, using some of the |. old materia! and alsva lot of new stuif, and mak- ang the structure lareer and higher tbau its predecessor. He asked the carpenter doing the work if be had a permit. He said be didn’t know; perhaps bis boss had. The citizen re- ‘ported the ease both at tho West Luke Street Station. and at che office of Superintendent Kirkland. The followmy day he went by there, and work was suspcoded. Ihe owner of tho premises, A-DEMOCKATIC FOURT! ‘ TIcI -by the name of Tom McNamara, was standing sround and expressing noisily bis irritation at the check which had been put on bis proceed- qngs. A day or two afterward. this citizen pass- by te place noticed, much to his surprise, that the building bud been completed—in violation of the fire ordinance—névessarily in violation of its terms, which probibited the erection. of any structure of that size of wood. The next thing. which this gentleman noticed was the mention ‘of the fact in Monday's Tra nuns that McNamara bud been fined $10 by Justice Kautinann for this atrocious, fazrant, aud persistent violation of the fire ordinance. which he nad taken the speci pains to bring to the attention of the authorities, ‘These facts coming to. the notice of a. Tranese_ reporter, ted w a thorough investixation of the affair, and to TH WARD POLI- da tulrs revealed by these interviews is a deplora- ple unc, showing ‘that the property of the citi- zens of Chicao is absolutely at the mercy of who seem to encourage jolators of the law.

The stars of Christmas burn with more than.common brightness. The very air is burdened with the instinct of unusual gladness.:. It was of this season that Shakspeare sang three hundred years ago: “6 Then, the nights are wholesome, — : Lhen, no planet strikes, : No fairy takes, no witch hath power to charm, So hallowed and so gracious is the time. ?? Christmas is the social festival of the year. this season that Charles Dickens wove the enchantment of his simplest fancies and his sweetest words. Nothing can be more beautiful than the words he puts into the mouth of Scrooge’s nephew concerning Christmas: **T have thought of Christmas time asa ¢ charitable times the ouly time 1 Know of in the long ¢ and women seem. sent to open their sh. people below then ally were felio another race of creatures bound on other journe: it has never put. a_serap of gold or sitver in my me good, and WILL de me good; and I say, God biess it! E. J. LEHMANN, ever on the alert to meet the desires of the multitudes who throng THE FAIR, has put forth his best energies in catering for the wants of CHRISTMAS PURCHASERS. AT LEHMANN’S FAIR PARENTS can find tens of thousands of Presents suitable for Children of all ages, CHILDREN can find Christmas Gifts for their companions at a very cheap rate, and for HAPPY LOVERS there is an infinite variety of choice of love tokens. E.J. LEHMANN Is credited on all hands with being ‘abreast of the times.” He aims to signalize this Christmas by being a ‘‘a littlé ahead-of the times.” He has put forth eve-y energy to meet the demands of the hour, and he confidently anticipates that the verdict of the public will be that THE FAIR is Fairy-Land indeed during Christmas, 1881.
