Th9 clear of Indianapolis Ind. The Chapelton correspondert to the Gleaner telegraphs on the 20th ulto. reporting a destructive fire in that district thus: It was nearly five o clock this worning when the ringing of the bells, firing of pistols, the clarion notes of bugles, and sbells, warned the inhabitants that fire was somewhere about the town of Chapelton.
Your correspondent, who was awake at the time, quickly got dressed, rushed out into the street, and saw that one of the biggest conflagrations that ever devastated this town, was taking place in the commercial section Prace. Progressive formerly belonging to one Chin Yan Kong, opposite the Post Office was on dire. squad of police, under command of In.
spector Field, and fully hundred civilians were on the two scene trying their best to pre.
vent the flames from spread ing. but in spite of this, one of the buildings belonging to Thomas Abrahams and Com pany, which is practically out of use, owing to its condition, but occupied by Mr. Mat thews, a jeweller, caught fire, and was destroyed in quick ume. This is an adjoining buildto the Progressive House where the fire originated. Dur.
ing that time the fire was burning from inside.
Many attempts were made to tackle the tire, bnt it was impossible for the fighters to cope with the flames, which a few minutes after leaped from the main building to a provision shop belonging to Mr. Brenton Lopez on the same block on the western side. The doors of Mr. Lopez shop were broken down, in quick time, and the goods removed into the street. At this time, the fire was making a rapid entrance but was soon brought under control by the fire fighters.
The Post Ofice building was in great danger at the time. Had it not been for tbe brilliant work of the Police, the flames from the the main building, sarmounted the upper storey of the Post Office, and started melt.
ing the paint would have quickly reduced the building to ashes, and started another big blaze on the eastern side of the commercial area.
If the Post Office building bad caught fire, the entire commercial section would have been wiped out, as the lack of water at the moment, and fre appliances were not equal to the task they would be asked to meet.
Mr. Thomas Abrahams of R9treat, who is living about threequarters of a mile from the town, arrived on the scene with his hose, but at that time the fire had already done its work, by destroying the Building, which had in no con tents. From what can be gathered, the building is belonging to one Bow Sang and Company, Kingston, and was to be opened in the coming week. It is said that the building is insured.
Pratse is due to the Police, who were under the command of Inspector Field, also many gentlemen of the town, who rendered yeomen service.
