Plans for Rebuilding.
The fire at Benning. which caused a loss
Of about $4,000. as published in yesterdays
Star, was a severe test on the fire de-
partment, but the firemen proved them
selves equal to the occasion. 1t is claim
ed that had the Benning road been in good
condition much valuable time would have
been saved on the way to the fire and the
flames might have been checked early
enough to save considerably more prop
erty.
Mr.. E. B. Evans general manager of
the business of the Union Stock Yards
Company, who was at the scene of the
fire early during the progress of the flames,
witnessed the work. of the firemen, and
publicly expressed hts appreciation of their
efficiency.
Speaking to a Star reporter, Mr. Frank
P Hall, manager Of the Benning Hotel,
said he had never seen better piece of
work done by firemen than was done yes
terday. That so much OF. the hotel building
was saved he thought was splendid show
ing for the firemen. After the firemen
had finished their work. General Manager

Insurance people visited the burned build
ing yesterday afternoon and gave per-
mission to the hotel people to remove their
stock of liquors. A Temporary bar was
arranged in the building and business was
resumed
Several guests of the hotel lost all their
personal effects. They were chiefly men
employed by the Postal Telegraph Com
pany One of the men deplored the loss
of a pair of gold buttons the gift of his
sister, who afterward died. He went to
the room he had occupied and searched
for them. but found nothing but his watch
chain Later on he was made happy by
feIlow-woraman who delivered the but
tons into his possession He had seen them
on the bureau in the room, and, knowing
how highly the owner priced them he went
in at great personal risk and saved them
A force of men will soon be put to work
on the ruins of the hotel. 1t Is thought
that another story will be added and that
the building will be otherwise enlarged. A
number of people went out on the electric
