M. C. A.’s by the Detroits Fire on the River Front. Fifty-one horses were burned to death last ‘igat in the stable of T. W. Riley & Sons, near bounded by F and G, 10th and 11th streets, and ia it just before the fire started were fifty-five ne fine work horses as were in the city. The stable was a large frame structure, part of which was one story higa, while the end near est 11th street was two stories, a hay loft form- ing the upper story. ‘There was no one in the stable after 9 o'clock, for by that hour all the horses were in and the work of cleaning and feeding them was finished. The doors were locked and nothing more was heard from the stable until about midnight, when flames coming through the frame struc- ture lighted the neighbor! and aroused many of the residenta. . ‘The fire burned some minutes before an . Policeman Bauer, who ighborhood and who’ was awakened by the flames and the consequent notse, turned in the alarm from box 416. Per- fons who were at the fire were surprised at the quick of the firemen. It took but «few minutes for the firemen to get several streams of water on the burning hay and tim- bers,and a second alarm, sounded nine minutes after the first alarm was sent in, brought ad- ditional companies to the scene. A TERRIBLE SCENE. In the meanwhile the citizens who were at- stable and exdeavored to save what property they could. The flames had cut off the only avenue of escape for the horses, and to rescue them while the flames were spreading ao rapidly | was an impossibility. The burning of the halters and timbers released sonfe of the animals, and they agvld be seen rushing wildly about the burning butiding. One fine animal was released and led out into the yard by a citizen, but the infuriated beast became un- raanageable and inashort time bad returned to the interior of the building. After yard, but the serious injury to be killed. “Three other horses were rescued, leaving fifty-one horses in the building. ‘The wagons were all saved from the stable. ADJOINING PROPERTY SAVED. The fire started near the northeast corner of the building, whore there was a large quantity of hay stored, and near this part of the building wasa door leading to the hay loft.

All nizht long the firemen labored at the stable and poured water on the large pilesof hay, under wich were sparks enough to threaten a renewal of the conflagration. INCENDIARY WORK SUSPROTED. How the fire originated is not known, but r. W. W. Riley, a member of the firm, said it oked to him like the work of an incendiary. Ho said that thero was some insurance on tho building, but nothing like enough to cover lows, which would amount to at least .000." He said that no one was in the stable when the fire broke out and that the stablo doors were securely fastened. During the sum- 5 M Jo stables open all night for the benefit of the harses, said Mr. Riley, three watchmen are kept in the building, but when the weather is cold enough the stable is closed and no one is left there at night.
