STEAM LAUNDRY BURNED p
Fire Does Great Damage tc
the Laundry Building on
Second Street.


Sund oerg &SwansOn's steam "a IN \
dry located on Second street pc
tween Broadway and First, avenue
northeast, was badly damaged ~
fire shortly after12 O'Clock Monday
night. Il $sS "a IN. "
v The fire started in the dryinlR.
room. presumably from the stove
and was under great Roadway when
discovered. The department was at
work on the burning building in 9
short time after the alarm was
turned in, and succeeded in saving
the building btfore it was damaged
to any great extent. .. sss.5 III I
The machinery and contents We're
not so fortunate, and are badly
damaged, a greater part OF the ma
chinery being destroyed for further
use. @' \;
The proprletors have been very
busy of late, and were at work until
II O'Clock last night getting out
orders that were ON hand. They
closed up after. that hour supposing
every thing to be in a safe condition.
There was no insurance on the
building. but the machinery and con-
tents were insured for $500. with the
Merchants Insurance company, OF
which Fred Hoffman is agent. The
building is the property Of A. Is.
Hall, and he estimates the damage
to the building at $3.50 or $500.
The loss on the contents and ma
chinery is estimated to be fully as
much as the insurance, for they had
a large amount Of clothes on hand
belonging to their patrons. which
will have to be paid for, and some
expensive machinery including the
engine and boiler, are said to he a
total loss. =. Alr
That the building was not totally
destroyed, and perhaps some lives
lost bv an explosion, is almost mi
raculous. In the burning building
were two ten-gallon cans Of gasoline,
which is used in hea ting the ironing
machinery, and that there was not
q tremendous explosion is mysteri-
Gus, as the whole interior of the
building was on fire. -
The new chemical engine was tried
for the first time upon a fire and it's
work proved very satisfactory. 1t
was turned on the fire and. although
it did not put it out entirely, it held
down the fire, which extended the
whole length of the building, until
the arrival of the hose carts and
water was turned on, and did great
work toward preventing damage to
the building. ~
