Xast night at 9:34 h' clock a fire alarm was sent in from box 25, at Front and Grace streets, and in a. few moments an alarm kept ringing in from bpx 23, at Princess and Water streets. The: Are was in the wholesale grocery, hay and grain establishment "of Mr. D. Mc Eachern, In the two story brick build ing at 204' and 206 North Water street.

Our smart 'paid fire department was on the spot in a Jiffy, and with the wind howling and a sold rain drizzling, they had the fife under control in a few minutes. It looked at one time like an ugly fire. The flames were lick- ing but of the second story windows at the back i of the building on the alley running between it and the i Carolina rice. mills' whiie a dense smoke poured out and almost' stifled one a half block The' firemen, however, made short' work of it and: were complimented on all sides for their fine work. The fire is supposed to have originated among a lot of hay stored in the second story, but its origin is unknown.

Mr. McEachern' stock of hay, pear nuts i and groceries were 'damaged by fire and water, but to what extent will not be known till the loss is adjusted. It isi estimated that the loss will be from $1,500 to $2,000 and probably more. He carries $6,500 insurance, of which $5,000 is in companies represented by Messrs.
