The Albany fire man did some remarkably
good work at the fire Tuesday morning.
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.

Owned by Judge R 8 8trahan,and H Flindt,
boot and shoe shop owned by A a by Pearce
were practically consumed. The Vance

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

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

The Ladies Coffee Club was on hand at
the W CT U Hall with coffee and crackers
