THREE HOUSES OF THE ROW RADLY DAMAGED- Shortly betore one o'clock vesterday morning, fire was discovered in the fine row of new brick houses on F street near 18th, known as“‘Michler place.” Owing to some cause not yet explained, there was great delay in the arrival of the fire department, by which loss of valuable time, the flames gained considerable headway before any water was thrown. The firemen acquitted themselves well when they got to work, and by their exertions suppressed what threatened at Oue time to be one of the most destruetive con- flagrations which has occurred in this city for many years. THE DELAY Was more than a half hour; but the time made by the engines after the alarm sounded was very quick.
