Heavy Loss Caused by Flames Mt
JrOuton n


Ironton, O., Sept. 3O.-This city was
threatened with destruction Wednes-
day night. At seven p, III. the sawmll
of Newman 4 Spencer was discovered
on fire. Before the fire department
reached the scene the flames had eN-
tended to the lumber yards. The long
drought had made everything so COM
bustible that the flames swept every
thing. The fire also soon wiped out
the mills and lumber yards of the
Penn Lumber company, The fire soon
threatened the waterworls. and word
was sent to Catlettsburg, Ashland and
Portsmouth for relief. The supply
houses and coal bins adjoining the city
water building were demolished by Il
Norfolk d Western locomotive crew
using a block and tackle. and the pump
ing station was saved. The opportune
arrival of the Ashland (Ky.) department
with several thousand feet of hose was
a God-send to the city, and soon the
ten acres of blazing ruins We're SUR
rounded by lines of hose. This prac-
tically placed the fire under control.

Penn Lumber company's plant was wall
ued at $4,000. They carried $l7,50O in
surance on the property and $4,000 on
100000 feet of lumber, which was
totally destroyed. In addition to these
plants the residences of Henry Spanner,
T.. Cole, Mrs. q. Kurtz, Mrs. Hall. Henry
Horn, S. Mackay and Newman & Span
ner's large office and warehouse were
destroyed. At least 20 more resi-
denccs were more or less damaged
by flames. With the exception of
Newman Il Spanner's warehouse
and S. Mackay's property, all were
insured. The loss is estimated at
from 100000 to 100000, with hardly
half that amount of insurance. An area
