An elarm of fire was sounded yesterdey at 11:39 a.m., as stated in The Star, and in a few moments the entire fire department of the city was in active operation. The fire was located in the fourth story of the varerooms of E. J. Miiler & Co., on King strect between Fairfax and Koyal. The firm of E. J. Miller & Co. is one of the oldest and largest, wholesale china ana glassware houses south of the Potomac river. The larger portion of their stock is imported directly by the firm. The house of E. J. Miller & Co. was established in 1822, Mr. Ashby Miller of the firm today is a direct descendant of the head of the oid established house. The entire fire depart- ment was in active service from 11:39 a.m. to 2:29 p.m. At 2:29 p.m. the Columbia en- sine was relieved and permitted to retire to its quarters. At the Hydraulion was withdrawn, but before it left the tire limits a pile of rubbish in the building broke o: egain and the company remained until 2 when it returned to its quarte The in- surance on the building in com panies represented by L abler, agent in Alexandria, and on stcck, $3 companies represented by Wise ‘gents, in Alexandria, and Stabler, agent. The head of the firm, Ashby Miller, 2 s, determined it was best to turn e ment cver to the repr: of the insurance companies, ani done. It is impossible at present to determine the losses. For the first time in many months the firemen found it necessary to have th rowd kept back, so that they could pro ly do their work. Ropes were put across King street at its intersection with Royal avd near Fairfax, and the crowd forced outside these limits. One of the larcest crowds ever seen at a fire Va Alexandria collected on the grout it_b n the hours of 12 and 1 wh machine and work shops were all closed for dinner. One engine was located at King and Royal, the other at King und Pitt. Tr of the letter engine ran across hore 3 teic road at King and Royal, and t were detained-an hour or two. W n that the passengers might 1 is point for an indefinite time a impromptu bridge was erected, and over his the hose from the engine at the corner joned was run, and the cars rit and went on to Washingto at 30° p.m. Firemen Wilmer Kemp, Robt. Arnold, Robt. Stonnell and Earnest Langley were all raore or less overcome with the heat and smoke. Kemp was taken from tne building to Leadbeater’s drug store, at the next corner, and was unconscious for some time. He revived after treatment, and un- der protest from his friends returned to his post. The others recovered after being exposed to the fresh air. Geo. Petty, one of Alexandria’s most di; guished firemen, and foreman of the H aulion Engine Company, covered himse th glory. He was in the midst of the fire nd smoke from start to finish. The fire dropped from the fourth to the third st . Petty at once, with his company’s hose and men, went on this floor, through the win- dews, and worked there like a beaver. At 12:50 he came to the window and called to his chief that he had the fire subdued on that floor, and wanted to go where he could find more to do, that the water was a foot decp where he was. He called for an ax to cut into the floor to let it pass below. He was ordered to remove at once to the fourth floor, where the fire started. He obeyed and went at once with his asso- ciates to the floor above, where he worked with renewed energy. At 1:20 he again appeared at the window and notified his chief that the roof of the rear part of the building was falling in upon them, when he was ordered to with- draw from the building. The entire fire department worked with great energy. It is strange to say that not a single ar- rest was made during the fire. The entire police force was on hand, and everythi so admirably managed that most perfect order prevailed. A very large proportion of the crowd was composed of ladies who were personal friends and customers of of the firm of E. J. Miller & t Burnett Again in Trouble, Richard Burnett, a well-known charac- ter, sppeared at the station house yester- day afternoon and requested Chief Web- ster to issue him a warrant for Lieut. Jas. Smith and Officer Keith, Davis charging them with using abusive language. The Warrant was issued and Chief Webster served them himself. The case was calied this morning in the police court. Burne:t failed to put in his appearance and the cases were continued until tomorrow morn- ing. A warrant was issued for Burne't, charging him with contempt of court, and given to Officer Davis, who soon had Bu nett dehind the bars. After the warra: for the officers had been sworn out yester- day evening, Burnett, accompanied by his mother and wife, endeavored to withdraw it, but the mayor would not allow it. Police Court.
