DECATUR. Ind. June l2-The town of
Geneva, in the southern part Of this coun-
~, was almost entirely destroyed by fire
last night. The fire started in Juday's
grocery store and spread rapidly, destroy
ing twenty-five business houses and four
residences before burning itself out The
town had no fire protection. and owing to
the drought cisterns and wells were almost
wholly dry. The town was at the mercy
OF the flames. The entire business portion
of the place burned. excepting about six
rooms. The only thing that saved the
Shamrock Hotel and bank building was
the blowing up with dynamite OF the sa-
loon building adjoining the hotel. The ag-
gregate loss on buildings and stock will
reach over 100000 In no instance was the
stock saved from the burning buildings.
Several people were seriously injured, but
no fatalities have been reported. There was
not over thousand dollars insurance car
ried by the merchants of Geneva. making
the. loss practically total, and leaving sew
eral business firms almost penniess. Four
fine residences. with all contents. were also
consumed. The fire department of this place
and Fort Wayne were sent for but could
not reach the fire in time to any

Copper-Plating Vessel Hulis.

The novel process of clectroplating
with copper the iron hull of large
ocean-going tug is being carried out in
a Jersey City dry dock. When the
plating is finished the inventor will
be prepared to show that the vessels
bottom is perfectly protected from bar
nacles and covered with a homogeneous
coating of copper, which is practically
indestructible. The attention of the
government has been called to the in
vention, and it is being closely watched
by the agents of foreign countries. This
invention. it is hoped, will solve the
great problem which oonfronts all the
builders of iron ships-how to pro-
tect the hull from barnacles and corro-
sion.
