Destructive FIRE IMMENSE Loss OF PROPER
TY-Last evening about seven O'Clock, a fire
broke out in the Machine Works and Repair
Shops Of the Columbus, Piqua and Indianapo,
lis Railroad, northwest of the Penitentiary.
The fire engines from the city were speedily on
the ground, but no water was to be had and
little could be dono to save the property. A
strong north wind Was blowing, and soon the
shops, the piles OF lumber, cars, etc., were q
mass of flames. Some of the tools and por-
ton OF the lumber was saved; but as general
thing, the destruction was entire and complete.
The fire extended on both sides of the railroad
over some two or three acres of ground. Be-
side the buildings, two locomotives, four or five
passenger cars, and other stock of the road,
with immense quantities of lumber, were de-
stroyed. We have heard no reliable estimate
OF the lose, but conjecture that Is is probably
some forty or fifty thousand dollars We have
no certain information as to the origin Of the
Ere.
