of the ice-h ouses, elsewhere reported, very lit.
tie damage was done. For nearly an hour
flesh after lash of lightning followed each
other in quick succession, and was succeeded
almost instants neously by loud claps of
thunder. One flash in particular appeared
10 be playing around the nose of every pc
destrian, and Sentinel reporter, who was
crossing Washington street at the time, i'm.
sgined that he could feel the heated atmos.
phere as the fash passed before his eyes. A
number of persons on the street at the time
ducked their heads as though lodging from
the fash, and With very few exceptions they
sought shelter n the nearest store.
A rumor was current last night that q gen.
tleman bad been nearly stripped OF his
clothing by lightning on South Meridian
street, but that he remained unhurt. The
incident is said TO have happened near Fos-
ter's tailoring establishment, bat an indus

anything better than runner.

YESTERDAYS FIRES.
Carver 4 Co.'s lee House Destroyed,
Involving q Loss Of $4,000.
A $1,000 Blaze In the Establishment
OF the Indianapolis Foundry
Company.

During the storm yesterday afternoon the
ice houses belonging TO Matthias Carver &
Co, situated near the west end of Seventh
street, were struck by lightning and entirely
destroyed by the conHsgration which ensued.
The fash which set fire to the building oc-
rurIed between 4:30 and o'clock. The
alarm of fire was sent in at once, and the
englnes from Nos. and and responded.
The work, however, was very inefficient
and for all practical purposes the Depart
mert might as well have remained at home.
The ice houses which were destroyed were
Dwred by Matthias Carver and Christian
Dunmeyer. ant were built Just north OF the
levee OF the Butsch ice pond. There
weTe ten houses, two OF which were built
zvo wears ago, one at each end Of the rO|,
and each of them being 1S5 feet In length.
The others were much smaller, but all we're
filled with ice. Mr.. Carver was seen by a
reporter last night, and stated that he esti-
mated the buildings at from $4,000 to
$1,000. He said be had s., 600 tons OF ice IN
the houses, and that while this was not by
Any means a total loss, yet the firm would
1oee much because of the difficulty In taking
care of 10 in its present condition, 1t being
melted into holes and in such an irregular
manner as 10 make Il difficult to pack straw
about il properly. He thought some of the
houses could have been saved If the engines
could have been run down the side of the
1oE but the ground being soft 1t was impos.
Bible TO do this. Engine No stood on the
paDal bank and ran out over q quarter of a
mile Of hose, but, the distance being SO
great, 1t was impossible to throw much of a
stream from the end of the line, and, added
TO this difficulty, the hose broke badly in
many places. The beys finally wound up

The loss on the ice, as estimated by Mr..
Carver, will be over Sl4, 600, bat this is only
an approximate estimate, of course. On the
buildings the company carried $1,000 insur-
surance. and on the ice s. 800. the insurance
