FIRE IN ROANOKE.
A Cold-StOrage Plant Destroyed
The Loss.


ROANOKE, VA, December 2-(Spe-
cial)-An alarm Of fire was turned in
last night about u o'clock, to which the
entire fire department responded. From
the location of the box many persons
thought the burning building was the
Virginia Brewing Company's plant, and
in a short time there was a large crowd
present, despite the bitter cold weather.
Instead of 1t being the Virginia Brewery
property proper it proved to be their
cold-storage house, and, aided by ne
high winds, the fire lost no time In gam
ing good Roadway owing TO the poor
pressure Of water and the bursting of the
hose the fremen were placed IN pre-
dicament but. under the leadership Of
Chief James McFall they soon got 10
work I'm earnest, and did excellent SER
vice I'm fighting the flames. For some
unknown cause the key TO the nre-alarm
box refused to work, and ii was only
nv means Of a stone that the DOX was
onened. l.. A. Scholz, president or the
company. was found in his office, ana
said they had not made careful eSu-
mate of the loss, but he thought 1t would
be fully $4,000. In addition to the burn
ing of the building there was consumed
nearly 1900 kegs of beer and large
quantity of empties. The origin or the
fire Is 1. mystery. The plant of the Nlr-
ginla Brewing Company is insured LOT
$4,000.
