Foundry and Machine Shop Burned
Down Last Evening at Bellaire.


A HIGH WIND SERVED TO MAKE
THE FIRE A DIFFICULT ONE TO
FIGHT-NEARBY PROPERTY EN-
DANGERED BY FLYING EMBERS,
SAVED BY GOOD WORK OF THE
FIREMEN-THE FLAMES ORIGIN
ATED IN THE CASTING DEPART
MENT-A LARGE NUMBER OF
PEOPLE ATTRACTED TO THE
SCENE = THE PROPERTY WAS
PARTIALLY INSURED.
The Bellaire Foundry and Machine
Company's one-story building, corner
Hamilton and Thirty-third streets, was
totally destroyed by fire last evening,
entailing a loss of about $1,000. The
company carried an insurance of $500
on the property. The building was
valued at $500 and the machinery and
other equipments at $l,7OO.
The fire started in the casting depart
ment and was discovered by Richard
Kane, who lives in that vicinity, about
6:2O o'clock. He Immediately turned
in an alarm, to which the entire de-
partment responded promptly. When
the firemen arrived the flre mad gained
considerable Roadway, and nearly the
entire building was Z IN flames.
Every available line of hose was put in
to service and soon streams OF water
were being poured onto the burning
mass from all advantageous points. The
building was constructed entirely OF
wood, with a tar paper roof, and Durn-
ed rapidly A strong wind blowing
from the south served as fan to the
fire and made it quite difficult for the
fremen to fight.
The firemen soon found that it was
impossible to save the works from de-
struction and largely directed their ef-
forts, with success. to saving nearby
property. endangered by burning en-
bers, which the wind sent flying IN all
directions About an hour after the hre
started nothing remained Of the build
ing but a mass of charred ruins. 1t IS
estimated that over a thousand people
were attracted to the scene of the con-
fiagration.
The Bellaire Foundry and Machine
Company is composed of j. R. Ander-
son. Clarence Simpson and Charles Il.
Anderson. An addition to the building
had recently been completed. The old
er section of the building was erected
about five years ago and was in excel
lent condition. The works was about
rs feet long and 40 feet wide, equipped
throughout with the latest improved
machinery and gave employment to
quite a number of men. The employees
quit work last evening at the usual
hour, six o'clock, and at that time all
fires in the building were put out. 1t
is supposed that sparks flying from the
casts was the cause Of the blaze. No
property adjoined the foundry and ma
chine shop.

is inspired by recent visits to the land
where the great reformer did his great
est work, is a pleasure that will ap-

The latest production of Messrs, Smyth
and Rice is play called IA Misfit Mar
rage written by Mr.. H. A. DuSouchet,
the author of those great successes, MY
Friend from India, and 1.-The Man from
Mexico" over which whole continent
have laughed The piece was brought out
at the Columbia Theatre, in Washington
on October Sd, and made a distinct hit,
being praised by the critics and public
alike. 1t was received with continuous
laughter. and generally pronounced to be
equally as funny as either of the two
other pieces which made Mr.. DuSouchet's
reputation. 1t has an ingenious plot, the
principal incident of which is a blunder
by judge who, in performing a marriage
ceremony, intended to unite two young
people, substitutes the name of the brides
mother instead Of her own, and the un
doing of this mistake gives rise to numer-
Gus eXcruciatingly funny situations. AS
in the other plays by this author, there
is in his latest work a novel and very
amusing piece of stage business which
gives the farce a distinct character. "a
Misfit Marriage will be seen at the Opera
House next Wednesday evening" October
18th, and those who are fond of rolickng
fun have treat in store for them.

big successes of the season, and wherever
produced has aroused unbounded enthusi
asm. Among the many scenes of interest
is one which reproduces section of the
battlefield of "Gettysburg.'' with the
debris of war picturesquely displayed. A
curious feature of the production is
the exhibition of tableaux at the close of
each act These tableaux meet with the
whole-souled approval of the audience,
and the curtain goes down to deafenng
applause. Gettysburg" will be on the
boards at the Grand the last half of this

the first time in this city, at the Grand

laid in the sunny South, and they are
made realistic by several very handsome
special stage settings. The climaxes are
thrilling enough, but the play can hardly
be said to be sensational. The comedy
element is in excellent hands in the person
of Stella Mayhem, who enacts the role of
Aunt Indy" a colored servant. The
stellar role is that of Dora Clayton in

that something was wrong with lite
