This city has a fire department second in ef ficiency to none in the State, taking into consideration the size of the city. A worse looking, more culti appearing act of rags, waa never seen in Albany than hovered around the scene of the fire Tues day morning. One of the seven or eight who had been lodged in the Caliboosc the night before boasted that the drJaens of Al bany could not lay the fire to them as they had spent the night in the city's hotel. Tramps did not get the benefit this time. A REAM FIRE. Albany's first fire of any moment for over fire years occurred In this city butt Tuesday morning. At about 1 30 o'clock Mr John Schmeer, who had just been awak ened by the blowing of a river steamer, saw from his bed room window in the rear of Ms store a liarht flash up from the rear of If. Peyser's saloon, just west, and heard a small explosion. Going to his rear west porch the rear of the saloon was found to be In flames and the smell of kerosene was strong. An alarm was given and the fire department was promptly on hand and did some splendid work, confining the flames to two or three small buildings in a range of six frames. This in face of a lack of water In the nearest cistern. Mr Wm Vance handed the department a $J0 piece ia ap preciation of their saving his block. The buildings occupied by The Jones, barber. W B Scott, gun store, M Peyser, saloon. Owned by Judge R 8 8trahan,and H Flindt, boot and shoe shop owned by A a by Pearce were practically consumed. The Vance block and the building occupied by the Miaars Howard were scorched some. Nearly all of Thos Jones' barber outfit, about a fourth of Mr Scott's goods, a few of Mr Flindt's tools, the Misses Howard's millin ery goods and Mrs O'Connor's millinery goods were saved, though all somewhat damaged. AH of Mr Peyser's saloon out fit and Otto Salinger's stock of cigars, to bacco, etc., were consumed. The losses may be placed as follows : Judge E S Stratum, two buildings, $i800 No insurance, Asbby Pearce, damage to buildings, $300. No insurance. Wm' Vance, damage to block, $50. No insurance.

Misses Howard, damage to stock, $i00. No Insurance. J J Dubruii le, damage to stock, etc .,$1 00. Insured. Total loss, $,700. Insurance, $m00. motks. Considerable excitement prevailed during the fire on account of the explosion of a keg of powder, which caused the breaking of twelve nanes of sfiass from the blocks on the opposite side of the street, and the con tinoai bursting of cartridges, in Scott's gun store. The concussion of the former knock ed three firemen into the mud. DrM H Ellis, a member of No. as was hit ia the left eye by a piece of exploded cartridge, causing the loss of the eye. Dr Brown, an experienced oculist of Portland, was sent far, and Wednesday, took out the ruined eve ball. Dr Ellis has the universal sym pathy of the people of Albany in his great The Ladies Coffee Club was on hand at the W CT U Hall with coffee and crackers and received tne Blessings of the members of the fire department, who had done hard work in the mud and water. That the fire was incendiary is not doubt ed at all by the pub'fc, of O fleers. Orgeana Encampment, No. 5,1. O. O.
