on MnnhnN.


The garbage crematory. with 7o-ton
daily capacity, constructed by the Par
-orendort company of Chicago, at the
foot of Buffalo street. near the Hin street
bridge, In the Second ward, has been com
pleted and fires were burning in it yes
terday to dry 1t out and get 1t in shape
for operation.
1t will be ready to receive its first sup
ply of garbage on Monday.
The furnace is built of solid masonry
and iron. In the top are three large
holes through which the garbage Is
dumped for cremation. By means OF a
substantially constructed inclined plane
TO the top of the furnace the garbage carts
are driven upon it and dump their loads
INTO the mapholes which are sufficiently
large to readily accommodate the car
casses of horses and cows
II is estimated that this furnace will!
accommodate all the dead animals of the
city and the other most offensive charae-
ter OF garbage but this furnace alone is
not expected 10 consume more than about
one third of the city's entire waste mat
ter, the idea being to build other furnaces
in other localities should this one prove
success In It's operation. and there is no
good reason why il should not as garbage
crematories have long since passed the eN-
perimental stage and have proved entirely
successful In their use elsewhere. This
furnace will be operated by representa-
tive OF the company for period OF thirty
days, II necessary, or undl Its efficacy is
established to the satisfaction of the city
before its acceptance viii he required
1t is contended for this furnace that 1t
will reduce all garbage to ashes and that
in the process of combustion no offensive
odor is produced.
