THE LlEBEk BREWERY LOSS.
1t Will Run Close to $2O,OOO-Hops
Ruined by Water.

The fire department placed the loss
caused by the fire at Liebers brewery,
Saturday night, at between $500 and $500,
but the management of the concern say
the loss amounted to $4,000. There was a
valuable portion of the plant destroyed, of
which it seems the department was unable
to tell the value. The fire originated in the
wareroom over the fermenting room. Some
extensive Improvements have been going
on and a quantity of oil and waste was
stored there The wareroom was Quilted
and the flames communicated 20 the fer
menting room, which had just been re-
fitted In there were several appliances
valuable in the manufacture of beer and
these were completely destroyed. The firm
had laid in large supply of hops, which
was ruined by the water. Had it not been
for the strong walls the entire plant would
have doubtlessly been destroyed. The fire
department remained on the scene until 9
o'clock this morning. After the engines
had departed the fire broke out afresh.
but was extinguished in short time. The
plant is the property of the indianapolis
brewing Company, who will make the nee
essary repairs Immediately. The loss is
covered by insurance.
