On the evening of the 4th of this month a fire was discovered in the SIGNS Office building. The fire was subdued, but while the engines were at work at a fire in Brooklyn, it again broke out. By the use of pails it was held in check until the engine reached the spot and extinguished it. By the efforts of friends not a dollar's worth of material was injured, although the fire was above us and to one side of us.
Especial thanks are due to Mr. Jas. Booth, Business Manager of the Transcript, who saved our type from being indiscriminately dumped from the cases and galleys into boxes and carried into the streets.
