There was no need of isten- ing to the strokes of the bell to ascertain the locality of the conflagration,. for the lenpiug fismes soaring skyward told the lo- cation only too well. T'tie building, which was in itself a shed filled with poles and sawed cedur blocks, and aimost completely surrounded by piles of poles waiting to be sawed into the requisito paving lengths, took fire In the vicinity of the engine house, presumably from a spark from tho boiler, aud notuntil the fire had ained cousiderable headway was it disco: ered. An alarm was quickly turned in in a short time the entire department W hand, But the strong breeze, which was blowan hard by the time of the arrival of the fir men, fanned the flames until the entiro structure and the adjoining piles were one Luge furnace, and for two hours the five lad- dies worked as they never worked before to #ain a foothold, and at last say “We have it under control, The boiler was full of water, and at first was considered a source of great danger lest it might_oxplode, yet, nothing daunted, the men under Gailigan faced the flames, not kuowing how soon they might be blown into etermty. But by some lucky chance the safety valve was knocked off and the sound of the escaping steem which poured forth in great volumes soon gave evidence of the fact that t danger was averted. Ou the cast side was a house filled with sawdust, which was a constant source of an- noyauce, the wind blowing a million sparks southward, where a host of frame building stood in jeovardy. To add to this, the south side of the ard was one mass of dry cedar posts, which burned like under, and it required the most strenuous efforts to save them. The west side was also composed of posts, all in dry condition, which in a short time was one mass of flame, and here, also, vigorous effort was required. But at last all the buraing heaps were got under complete control, aud at 12:30 nothing remained to do but to watch for further outbreaks. Naugle owes it to the estremely vigorous efforts of the department that he saved any- thing, while the property owners on the south can thank their lucky stars that Galli- gan and his men are thorotghly compstent. The loss is estim; t about §10,000. The yard of 1. zle & Co. was o8- tablished several years ago. The company now cousists of k augle and the latter’s brother, ugle, the sentor member of the firm.

The ca penter who framed a house for a stranger asked him whether he would have the joists ‘run fore and aft or Sthwartship.” For “a stranger,” I suy.
