FIRE AT KINGAN'S.
Blaze at the Great Packing House That Threat
ened Confagration.

This city was threatened with another
emo rmous fire last night, and had it not
been for the excellent work of the firemen
Indianapolis would undoubtedly to-day be
minus her largest industry. At s:45 an
alarm was sounded from Box 4S, and when
the big bell rings 4s every body says kin
gan's." for that is all there is of any worth
down in that corner of the city. While the
bell was ringing the fears of the people
were strengthened by the entire western
heavens becoming ablaze with. fire. The
air was lmpregnated with the odor of
burning meat. and it could be smelled
distinctly all through the city. In some-
thing less than a jify the entire tire
department. of the city was there and
doing Its all to stay the flames. The ao-
count of the origin and discovery of the fire
was given by Tom Sweeney, one of the
night watchmen. as follows:
IL was making my rounds when SIN elled
burning meat. and reported the matter at
once TO Mike CraddOck. the man who at

er we went In and found the entire build
ing filled with smoke aud the roof ablaze."

fire started. and it must have smoldered
there for several hours In order to have
eventually worked Its way up to the roof.
In a very short time the entire roof was
ablaze and the flames, fed by the
grease that soaked the timbers.

either side of fatal il. Several heavy
streams were shot into the sarcophagus-
