CLEVELAND, d, August is bout 1850
o'clock fire broke outin the planing.mill
ofthe sturteyant Lumber Company, ION
the flats. Three steamers responded the
alarm, and by effective work succeededfn
partially subdning the flames. The fire
broke out afresh a few minutes ago, how
ever, and is now burning fufiously, and
rapidly. 4
r The dryhouse and many lumberpiles
are in flames, and although four mora
have been called ,sit Is not prob.
able that the fire will soon be subdued.
a When the tiremen saw that the burning
building was doomed at the fire this
morning, they turned their efforts in the
Of saving the I'D joining property,
consisting ofpiles Of oflumber, and the large
planning mill immedi diately in front the
burning kiln. Considerable propeftyin
the shape OF betting was taken fromthe
mill, aud about q wagon load in all was
thus saved. ia
The theories with reference 70 the cause
Of the fire are many and quite varied, but
the most plausible Of all is that the drying
Kiln wss struck by lightning
z at about 5 O'Clock the department aided
by the heavy rain, had the fire completely
under control. Ninety Thousand dollars,
it's thought, will cover the entire loss.
