A Small Fire and'lots 01 Water.
Estimated Damage $25,000.
At a few minutes before seven, last
evening, an alarm of fire was sounded
from box fifteen, Hale’s'drug store.
The firemen were almost instantly on
smoke issuing fr0m 'the “cupolo, roof
and attic story of’the Boston store that
the fire was somewhere smouldering in
the third or fourth story of the Boston
store. - Several who were earliest on
the spot, claim they saw a bright light
on the third story,: which might have
been an are light or the fire which was
then confined in a small space near
where their upper are light is located.
From the south-eastern windows,a
bright light was seen by many, but it
was, no. doubt, the same as that seen by
persons standingf about thebuilding on
the Wall street :side. Subsequent in-
vestigations made last night and again
this morning would seem to indicate
that the fire started in the floor just
above the upper are light, and as no
other kind of lights were in the build-
ing and no fire of any kind had been' in
or about that part of the building for
days, it is the mcst general conclusion
that in some way the origin of the fire
Was connected with that particular
electric light.
. It was the work of seconds only, be-
fore the firemenfhad the hose on topof
9the'roof over Dwyer’s Harness store,
and water by the hogshead was poured
into the building, and in a half hour’s
time the fire was practically extin-
guished.
A more utter ruin of one of the larg-
est stocks of goods in this end of our
county, cannot be imagined. Probably
$2,500 would cover the loss on the build-
ing and $5,000 on the goods by fire
alone. But is is estimated that at
least $20,000 to $25,000 is the damage
by the fire and by water.
Mr. O’Gorman had recently taken an
account .- of stock which footed about
“$42, 000. He considers his stockto have
been worth at least $40,000 and his fix-
tures about $1,500 more,when he closed
On
this he has an insurance he thinks of
about $35,000 to $36,000, so that his loss
on goods-will be substantially covered
by his insurance, and his severest less
will be felt in the lapse of time and in-
terruption to his business, inevitable,
before the loss can be fully adjusted.
All the companies having risks have
'been telegraphed and before the day is
out most of their adjusters are expected
to be here and at work. 9 ~
Mr. J. Donovan Jr. ., who owns the
building, is fully insured and will at
once proceed to put it in good order
again. 9 '
At the time of the fire alarm being
given, .Mr.- O’ Gorman was at his tea
and the first news he got of it Was from
the daughter of Ex—Chie‘f DeForest,
who ran over from her house and ' noti-
fied him. » '
Of course, the loss by water was far
the greatest, but had'not the firemen
poured in the water, in the enormous
quantities they did, the building and
most of the goods would no doubt have
been entirely consumed.
.Hadthe fire takenplace late in the
night, or had a gale of wind been blow“-

Professor Caulfield on the organ. The
altars were beautifully decorated with
potted flowers, while ferns and daisies
jwere tastefully intertwined together;
The organ, too, wasbanked withpctted

according to the Catholic ritual had
been performed, the bridal party. 090-9

Attorney Gleeson and bride tried to
keep secret the time of their departure
on the Wedding journey, but some
friends unravelled the mystery, and
there were 100 people at the Consolida-
ted depot in waiting for the 11:35 tr6in.
As soon as the bridal couple alighted
from the carriage they were gr’eétéd
with a shower of rice,fand there seemed
to be an inexhaustible supply of this

addition some friends had procured
three large cannon crackers and the
reports were loud enough for the big-

reported to have a constitutional aver—
sion to getting up in the morning.
Of course, so far as Dr. Acton, Pin-

in- the way of their sitting up all night,
with the ladies who propose to take

other way can these young gents. 'be
