doomed 10 destruction, and Ibe fire depart
ment turned its atlentiiiu to saving adjoining
property The residence owned by it. M.

stream was thrown, while Geo. Melsou's two

it: another stream was turind on lop of
Day'a briok to protect the roof from the
intense heat that tlueateued it, while mi
other stream was scut ou the theatre build
iug from the front.
By this time Coleniuu's hotel on the uorth
of tbe theatre was in flames. Part of the furn
iture wa removed but the tire spread so rap
idly that the greater part had to I., left to it
fato, Colemau' barn and Cba. I -liner's

for use by the water work wa all iu use by
the firemen, ami no help could be given to

side of the buildiug were smoking from tho j was taken lick with btmorrhaO of the bow
effect of tbe inteuse heat. Willing bauds I els and partial paralysis ..(.the left side, re
took hold of the brakes and .Mr. Laiier's re.si
dance was soon beyond danger, although
considerable of tbe furniture of the bouse
had I., en removed befor water bad been got
on tbe bouae. The baru belonging to Mr.
Ilickethier was burned, while the Davis
barn was badly scorched.
The tin-men did good wolk, though badly
hampered by lack of hoHe, ami held the tire

three streams thrown from one hydraut ou
the oorner of Day's block weaken. -I tbe
pressure so that poor work was doue, especi
ally by the stream that were connected to
the Y.
In Ibis connection it is well to cull atten
tion to tbe fact that Ibe Eugeue fire depart
ment, while haviug splcudid apparatus other
wise, ia poorly provided with hose. While
possessing three hose carts that will carry in
tbe aggregate 2,000 feet of hose, the depart
ment has but 750 feel of hose that can staud
Ihe pressure given by the water works.
Chief engineers uud foremen have again and
again recommended the purchase of more
hose but it appears the council lias never seen
its way clear to purchase the same. Tbe lesson
given by this fire should have its effect. One
hydrant ol three inch diameter cauiiot sup
ply water with sufficient force lo render sev
eral streams available. With enough hose
to attach to another hydrant, tbe Colemoii
hotel could have been easily saved, ami with
Ibis buildiug secure, no danger could have
attached to Mr. Lauer's residence

The fire was likely the work of incendia
ries, as party rooming upstairs iu Melson'a
building observed two persons rnn away from
the rear end of the theatre just us the fire
broke out.
The engineer at the .imping station of
the water works was notified by telephone of
tbe fire and sturted tbe pnmpa, giving in

ordinance Mondny of laat week which would
prevent tbe bar from -ending liquors into the
