Fire az Indianapolis Wipes Out the stocks
Of seven Firns.
INDIANAPOLIS, Dec. 4. Seven Arm
whose property was valued AT $500. 900 at
breakfast time yesterday morning are now
getting ready TO obtain what they can OF
the said value from the insurance CON-
panies; for the property. consisting OF
stocks Of goods Of various kinds. and the
buildings in which they were contained
arc now dissipated among the elements.
the only visible portions being ashes. EN-.
bers and debris About 80 a. IN. Are was
discovered i'm IS to os South Meridian
street. the building occupied by Schnull
& Co., wholesale grooers, AMI before Il
stopped its ravages the following firms
had been burned out: Schnull & Co..
wholesale grooers Ward Bros. druggists;
Fairbanks, Morse 81 Co.. scales; Eckhouse
Bros. liquors: Wocdford q Pohlman
liquors; Indiana Coffee company and
Hildebrand Hardware company.
While the fire was in progress walls
were falling at close intervals and during
this destruction several fremen were
caught in the crash, two Of whom were
rescued In such a condition that they
will be laid up. The fire was in the heart
Of the wholesale district of the city and
completely destroyed the northeast quar-
ter Of the block bounded by Meridian,
Maryland Georgia and Illinois streets.
Soon after the fire broke out the third
floor of the Schnull building fell, carrying
with it the second and piling the whole
business up-a heap of blazing ruins on the
first floor So rapid was the spread of the
flames that the employees of this firm
saved themselves only by 1.-THE skin Of
their teeth"
The quarter block destroyed was COM
posed of buildings of brick three and four
stories in height. Before the fire depart
ment could get TO work 1t was evident
that the entire quarter block was doomed.
and that the only thing to be done was to
save the adjoining buildings. The stocks
in the buildings contained much that was
highly inflammable, especially in the case
of Eckhouse Bros and Woodford a. Pohl-
man, anC to this difficulty was added a
high north wind and bitter cold weather.
The supply of water was insufficient, and
the ten streams that were poured on the
blaze had very little effect, if any Every
available engine and man in the depart
ment was engaged in the fight against
the flames
In this condition of affairs the fire made
terribly rapid progress. So quickly did
the flames spread through the block that
those owning goods in the buildings south
of the one where the fire started did not
have time to save even their books and
papers, let alone their goods. In very
short time the last building TO the south
the one on the alley-was In flames
and it was noon before control over the
blaze was obtained, and even then it was
burning fiercely, with no chance, however.
