TWO FIRES.

Ono "Resulted From the Unlawful Burntng of Rubbish at N!_rlit. Sacramento yesterday morning about 3 o'clock had an escape from conflagration during the high north wind tbat may furnish food for reflection by those who violate tho ordinance against burning rubbish in the afternoon and night, and if the lesson is heeded may stir up tbe police to make arrests of thoso violating the ordinance. The lire resulted from sparks from a rubbish lire which was burning that night and which lodged in a pile ot lumber from old awnings, which belonged to John McGillivray, at Twenty-fourth street, between F and <'. While the damage to the lumber was small, a serious conflagration was imminent,the lire being carried by the wind fifty or a hundred feet and setting lire to the dry grass in a number of places and keeping the lire department so busy for some time in saving other property tbat they had to leave the lumber pile burning meanwhile. The alarm of fire last night was caused by the burning out of a chimney in the house occupied by F. Silva on Fourth street, between Q, and K. "No damage was done.
