COAL SHEDS DAMAGED.

Fire in tho Coal Sheds Of the Levi @.
= Gilbert Company at No. 26 water
Street-Valuable Coal Hofsting Ma.
chinery Damaged-Loss About 49,.
500.
About 1920 O'Clock Last evening two
alarms were sent in from box So, corner of
Bridge and East streets, which called the
fire department to a fire in the Levi @.
Gilbert company's coal sheds at 26 Water
street, near East street. The shed Is q
long, low building extending from the
street back to the waters edge and is used
for the storing of coal. The fire caught in
the end of the building next to the water,
the most probable theory being that 1t was
set on fire by spark from q locomotive.
The fire burnt out the entire upper part of
the south end of the building, the princi-
pal damage being on some valuable coal
hosting machinery, which was used In
unloading coal from the barges. This ma
chinery alone is valued at $4,000. The
damage to the machinery Is estimated at
about 50, 500 and to the building, exclusive
of the machinery and coal, about 81 900.
The fire was confined almost entirely to
the roof and upper part Of the prem
ises and did not reach the coal,
which was stored below in the
pockets. The roof, however, was almost
entirely destroyed. The flames were
bursting out high in the air along the
ridge of the roof at the time the FIRE de-
partment arrived and it required some
energetic work on the firemsn's part to
place the flames under control. The blaze
was first discovered by Conductor Rays Of
car go of the Fair Haven and Westville
| rosd, who gave the alarm. The loss,
which was roughly estimated last evening
| at between So, 500 and 81 900, is fully COW
| cred by insurance.
