A fire which threatened the destruction
OF the extensive plant of the Potomac

foot of Thirty-fourth Street, Georgetown,
broke out shortly after o'clock yester
day afternoon. What is known as short
circuit is said to have caused the blaze,
which resulted in a loss estimated at $10,-

Three suburban railway lines the
Georgetown and Tenleytown, the Great
Falls Electric, and the Arlington and Falls

ment Of cars for several hours, being de-
pendent on the Potomac Company's plant
for electric current A large number of
lights in The northwest section OF the city
were also exunguished as a result OF the
fire.
George NJ. Harper. a barber, living at
1906 NJ Street northwest, discovered the
flames few minutes after o'clock. He
hurried to box 732 and turned in an alarm.
Several companies OF the Fire Department
responded promptly but before a stream
of water was turned upon the fire, con-
siderable damage had resulted. Much diff
ficulty was experienced by the fremen il
working beneath the main floor OF the
building, owing to the numerous wires and
electrical appliances attached to the sew
eral pieces of machinery. One of the larg
est generators was early burned out by
the current and flames which were equally
difficult to control.
Below the main floor of the immense
structure great damage was done; especial
