SOUTH BEND, March Especial EARLY
on Thursday morning the first fire in the
history of the city occurred, resulting in
the destruction of several buildings and a
loss in buildings and stocks of 50, 500 par
TALLY covered by insurance.
About $3.50 a. M. flames were first seen
to issue from between the planks in the
sidewalk in front of William Koch's cigar
store, on Water street. The alarm was
given, and the fire could easily have been
put out had not the saiaried engineer of
the fire department, who was supposed to
sleep in the engine-house at night. been
absent from his post and had he not
locked the door. To break in and haul out
the engine, secure an engineer, etc. :.
caused so much delay that ahe fire gained
rapid headway and the whole town was in
imminent danger of destruction. For
tunately there was no wind and the roofs
OF houses were wet from recent rains.
Connections were finally made with the
electric light works, and s6on after three
streams were playing on the fire. which
soon subdued the flames. The cause of the
fire is unknown, but is supposed by some
to have been incendiary.
The buildings burned or partially de-
stroyed were: F. II. Copenspire's cigar
factory, the Handy Kitchen, William
Koch's cigar factory, L. K Erickson's
harness shop, Fl. H. Williams barber shop
and the Misses Dell e. Grandy's millinery
and dressmaking establishment, which
are situated on the north side of Water
street, at the foot of Central avenue, and
are all in row, being one and two-story
buildings. Having been erected during
the first boom days of the town they were
light structures and burned like tinder.
The insurance is as follows: f. H.
Copenspire, cigar factory, 500, North
west Insurance Company; Sicker e. Sizes
gang. proprietors of the Handy Kitchen,
$780, Niagara Insurance Company; Webb
Egie, 800, Orient Insurance Company;
William Koch, cigar factory, $500 on stock,
Traders Insurance Company, and $500 on
the two buildings, occupied by himself
and the millinery store, in Columbia Fire
& Marine Insurance Company. The total
loss is estimated at $500.
The most unfortunate sufferers were the
Erickson brothers, harness makers, who
lost all their possessions, valued at $500,
except set of harness and sewing ma
chine. The Misses Dell saved all their
goods, and Mrs. Grandy suffered loss of
$780,

A REMARKABLE MINERAL.

Litho-carbon, which is mineral
somewhat resembling asphalt, is the
most remarkable mineral of its class
! known. 1t is claimed that it makes
a perfect insulator; that as paint
it will resist heat or gases of any
kind that it is capable of being
rolled into tissue free from odor,
and practically indestructible when
employed in the production
of mackintoshes, canvas belt
ing, waterproof tents,
etc. 1t possesses peculiar powers,
enabling it to enter and fill the pores
of iron and steel, rendering these
metals impervious to acids, etc. 1t
is also said to make common leather
waterproof, and it can be applied to
wood pulp for the transformation of
that material into what looks and
acts like ebony or horn. The satur-
alton of a ships plates
with hot litho- carbon illustrates
the attack of barnacles, and
the plate will neither rust nor foul.
A portion of the smoke stack of the
steamer Dean Richmond, where the
heat, through the use of a blower,
rises to 5000 Fahrenheit, was
painted with litho carbon several
months ago, and remained undis-
turbed and unblistered, while other
parts of the vessel have necessarily
been painted many times. A piece
of sheet iron covered with
litho-carbon japan is stated to
have been subjected to an actual
heat Of Ais degrees Fahrenheit,
without crack or blister, and re-
manned so tenacious that the iron
could be bent at any angle without
disturbing the glossy surface. For
vanishing railway and private ear
riages, printing iron bridges, roofs,
steamships, houses, etc, this ma
terial acts as an insulator, and it is
reported that it will neither crack
nor blister under any known atmos-
pheric temperature. At great heat
htho-carbon will soften, but it will
not take FIRE at any point. If all
that we hear of this mineral be true,
ii viii form one of the most widely
useful substances of its class known.
