THE FIRE LAST NIGHT.
Loss Unknown.

At 11:20 o'clock, last night, fire was
discovered at the works of the Nashville
Cotton-Seed Oil Company, No. 205 South
High street. The flames were first seen in
a shed attached to the main building, and
which constituted the boiler-room. 1t
is said the attaches of the build
ing endeayored to put out the
fire without giving the alarm, and from this
delay il had made some progress before the
engines reached the spot. However, the
flames were soon under control, and were
extinguished without any great trouble.
The house contained about ten tons of
cake and meal and some four thousand GAL
Ions Of oil, all Of which was a total loss.
The insurance on the stock was in the
neighborhooi of $4,000. The greater
part of the light machinery was more or
less damaged, but the engines and boilers
were not materially injured. The works
were operated by Michael J. 0 Shaughnessy
aud James Il. Collins. The building is the
property Of Judge Eugene Cary, of Chicago.
No estimrte could be placed upon the
losses.
