Fires.
A few minutes before 10 o'clock an alarm was received at the Lichfield Street Station, the number registered being that of the box at the corner of Victoria and Salisbury streets. The bells and railway horn sounded, and the chemical engine went to the seene — to find the box undisturbed, and no sign of fire anywhere in the vicinity. As the night was particularly unpleasant, the knowledge that it was some freak of the electric alarm system which had occasioned the turn-out was not by any means soothing to the firemen. \
