The long talked of interceptor is
dead.
The report of Messrs. Herring and
Gray, the sanitary experts who recently
made an examination for the purpose Of
ecommending plan of sewerage for
the city, has been received by Chairman
Huff, of the sewer committee.
The large interceptor which was at
first recommended by Mr.. Herring is laid
aside as impracticable, from the fact
that a number of industries will be
located along the river near the point
at which the interceptor was to empty
its sewage, and also the rapid growth of
the city in other directions,
The report does not go into details at
all, but simply outlines a plan for
general system OF sewerage which
substantially follows the natural lines
of drainage
One great point of difference between
Mr. Dunlap's plan and the one now pro-
posed is that the new plan drops the
north 1nterceptor recommended by Mr..
Dunlap and makes Lick run the main
storm water conductor. This stream
Will be made twenty-five feet wide,
about five feet deep and on either side
is to be laid large pipe for the sewerage
proper.
Storm water sewers are also to be
laid on Franklin street, Campbell
street and along tho railroad, all three
of these to empty into Lick run at the
corner of Woodland Park, just opposite
the Machine Works.
The subterranean cavern drainage is
| opposed in the report, the reasons given
being the danger of polluting spring
water, and also the danger of the
caverns becoming clogged or filled up.
NO estimates are given as to the proba-
bic cost Of this plan of sewerage. The
report is very brief
The sewer committee will probably
request President Buckner to call a
special meeting of the Council to con.
slider the report.

THE EVERY FIRE.
Steps Will Be Taken Immedi-
ateIy to Restore the Building.

The fire at the Virginia Brewing
Company's building yesterday morning
did not prove to be quite SO serious as
was at first anticipated.
The night watchman discovered the
fire about $3.50 O'Clock, and alarms were
soon turned in from boxes IS and 81.
and also by telephone message from
the office of the Cold Storage Company.
The flames were first seen breaking
forth from the tower of the brewing
house, and the employees attempted to
arrest their progress, but their efforts
were fruitless because Of no pressure in
the water pipes.
message was Immediately sent to
the pump house to put on the pressure.
1t is thought the damage would have
been very light if the employees could
have had water when they first dis
covered the fire,
The fire department. responded
promptly, and by the aid of it's engine
soon had water pouring upon the flames
from Lick run. Every one thought
>that the building was doomed, but the
hremen worked heroically and their
work soon told, as the blaze was extin-
guished. Another small blaze broke out
after the firemen returned, and thew
were called back again, but this time
experienced but little difficulty in get
ing tho fire under control
The brewery house with it's conter is,
consisting OF lot of very costly ma
chinery and large store of malt and
hops, was almost totally destroyed. The
front wall fell in, and the other walls
are so badly damaged by fire and water
that they will have to be pulled down.
Walter Almond, Anton Geisen. John
Geisen and w. j. Baughman, OF the
Vigilants, employees of the brewery,
saved many lives and much property by
having the presence of mind to drag
the hose through the flames into the ice
making department, and cooling the
ammonia condenser. Had this machine
become heated it would have exploded,
and thereby played havoc with men and
machinery.
The total damage is estimated to be
between $4,000 and $4,000. The com
pany had insurance to the amount of
$4,000 on the brewing house, distri-
buted among the following companies:
Hartford, Phoenix of London, Queen of
America, Phoenix of Brooklyn, Orient
OF Hartford, Imperial of London, Ma
tional of Hartford, Liverpool and Lon.
don and Globe, Insurance Company OF
North America, the Georgia Home and
the North British and Mercantile.
The manager, L. A. Scholz, and the
secretary, Louis Sanders. were seen
yesterday by TIMES reporter and
stated that they have plenty Of beer on
hand to su only their trade and that the
loss of the building will not interfere
with their business in the least. They
Will rebuild and make the new building
larger and the capacity greater.
Tho Virginia Brewery is the second
that has been built in the State and has
done paying business ever since it
began operations. 1t gives employ ment
to quite number of operatives. The
management desires to return thanks to
the ire department for their prom pv
and much needed services.
