Show Fire. A fire broko out about 7:15 o'clock, yesterday morning, on tho roof of tho White houso, which caused considerable con-siderable excUcniont in thai quartor, for a short time. Tho steamer and tho hook aud ladder track, with a Dumber of firemen, ready for sjrvico, were soon at tho building; but tho fire had been extinguished before they arrived. Tho tiro was caused by n defcotivo stovo-Ii stovo-Ii po, running through tho roof; nod had it not been discovered in time, would undoubtedly havo oausod considerable consid-erable damugo, as tho buildings in that vicinity aro almost entirely of wood. As it was, tho dam ago was between $i'0 and $70, caused more by water and tho falling of a couple of ocilingp, than by fire. |
