BRICK WORKS BURNED.
LOVELLis SONS LOSS IN THE NEIGH
BORHOoD OF $4,000.

| The Chatham Machine Brick Manu-
featuring Plant Wiped Out-Fhe
Fire Started in the Engine House
and swept the Entire Yards-The
sheds. a TwO-stoEy Dwelling and
Nearly 1 900 Cords of Wood Burn
ed-NO Insurance on the Property.
The Chatham Machine Brick Works, on
the Louisville road, short distance west
of the city. burned last night. The fire
was discovered about $50 o'clock, and in a
short time nearly all the buildings in the
yards were on fire.
Messrs. E. +. & r. p. Lowell, proprie-
tors of the works, were unable to place an
estimate on their loss. but it is believed to
be in the neighborhood of $4,000. There
was no insurance on the property, and
everything of value was burned
The fire department. did not send out
any apparatus until late. The fire commits
sion was in session at No 4 engine house,
on Barnard street. when the glare of the
fire was seen. No alarm had been sent
in. and the hremen judged that the fire
was beyond the city limits. AS
sistant Chief Mouro drove out
and seeing that a detachment might be of
service, he returned to the city and or
dered out engine No. and the hose wagons
Of Companies Nos. and A. Connections
were made with one of the artesian wells
at the water works 1t was some time
before water was got into the hose, but
two streams were finally obtained and
were Of great service. A barn full of hay
and grain was threatened, and would I'M
doubtedly have burned had not water been
thrown on it just in time. The department
also did effectual work in saving several
of the large piles of burning wood and the
houses contiguous to the brickyards.
The principal losses to the owners of the
yards resulted from the destruction of the
large drying shed and the green brick un-
der it. The shed was 300 by $50 feet, and
contained a large number of brick just
from the machines. In addition to this
loss is that of the engine house, the water
tank and its tower, and the machinery
used in the operation of the yards, the
steel palates with the brick upon them,
number of small sheds and nearly 1000
cords of wood A 2-story frame house
was also burned.
The fire started in the engine house
The engine had been used late in the aft
ernoon to pump water into the tank
When discovered the fire was we'll under
way, and its communication to the in
hammable stuff in the yards
was rapid. A stiff breeze sprang up from
the southeast and spread the flames. Had
the wind been from the west, the damage
would probably have been greater, as
there were more houses to the east than
to the west of the yards. Only a few wa
CONS were saved from the sheds Every
thing else was destroyed. No attempt TO
fight the fire was made as it would have
been futile. The dry wood of the buildings
and that in the piles burned like finder
and the efforts of any but the fire depart
ment to check the fire would have been
useless
