FIRE At SELLERS FARM
ENTIRE PLANT OF THE DEsICCATING
COMPANY DESTROYED.
A Total Loss of 3 .OOO-Company Dis
posed Of the Cfty's
Garbage.

About Z o'clock yesterday morning at
Sellers farm, southwest OF the city. &C.
Cured a fire which destroyed the entire
plant of the indianapolis Desiccating Com
pany, F. NJ Bachman, president. and Au-
gust Elprecht. secretary. The plant con-
sisted of two large buildings and several
smaller ones and a number of tanks. The
two buildings were filled with complicated
machinery, all of which was rendered use
less.
The fire started in the drying room fron
an overheated drier, and spread so rapidly
that the efforts OF the men al the works 10
quench the flames were unavailing. T.ie
floors and walls were filled with oil alb
sorbed from the refuse and this accelerated
the communication of the fire to other parts
of the building. and the five men on duty
were finally forced to run for their lives.
The plant was beyond the limits OF the
city fire protection and an elaborate sys-
TEN Of fire protection had recently been in
stalled, but the numerous lines of hose
placed at convenient points about the plant
were entirely inadequate. Henry Rauh.
one of the stockholders in the company. in
speaking of the fire, said the total loss was
about $33, 900, about one-third of which was
covered by insurance.
The fire. said Mr.. Rauh, occurred at
a most inopportune time-just the time when
We have so much to do. and the amount of
work and quantity Of refuse coming 10 us
is increasing daily. A new plant constructed
on the same lines as the old one Will be
commenced Immediately and the machinery
necessary will be telegraphed for, so il Is
possible We will have the plant again In
operation within thirty days. In the mean
time, i suppose we shall be obliged TO bury
the refuse. The plant which has just been
destroyed was one of the most perfect in
the country-in fact, the city OF London.
England. is arranging for the installation
of a similar one"
Mr.. Rauh said that in the new plant spe-
cial precautions would be taken TO pre-
vent fire from like cause. About a month
ago the plant at Detroit. Mich. where this
system of rendering was originated and
patented, was destroyed by fire which
started as this one. from an overheated
drier. Some loss was also sustained by the
Indianapolis Sanitary Company. which had
a car loaded with refuse and several tanks
within reach of the flames. The indianapolis
Desiccating Company has the contract for
disposing of the refuse and garbange of
the city. The stuff, after being run through
the plant, came out as fertilizer.

Again burning Gas.

1t IS stated that fully 90 per cent. of the
indianapolis manufacturers are again burn
ing natural gas for fuel. the companies now
having plenty of gas for domestic use and
for the factories. One of the larger OF the
Coal dealers said on Saturday that in De-
cember, January and February he sold more
coal to the manufacturers than In any winter
months since 1889, when natural gas was
first introduced in indianapolis. A much
larger tonnage Of coal was consumed for
domestic purposes last winter than i'm any
year OF the last ten So much trouble was
experienced the past winter during the cold
spells that coal dealers expect that much
more will be done this fall in laying in a
reasonable supply of coal than has been the
case Of late years. Already many of the
owners of large houses have decided to
abandon gas as fuel for their furnaces and
will substitute coal.

SMALL PANIC In TUNNEL.
Fuse of n Motor Car Burned Out on
an Up Grade.

Considerable excitement was occasioned
yesterday afternoon in the north end of the
tunnel by the burning out of a fuse on one
% the street cars. The car was filled 10
overlooking with return ing Garfield Park
visitors. mar OF whom were women. In
ascending the grade the current necessary
to pull the car was too strong for the fuse,
and an exceedingly brilliant electrical dis
play was the result, much to the discom-
future of the women who were so badly
frightened that, being unable to get out of
the car through the door, they broke the
windows and jumped through them. No
one was injured, the only fatalities being TO
dresses and hats. During the excitement
The motorman forgot To put on the brake
and the car ran down the grade and nearly
collided with a. following car.

TH1RTEEN TO DINNER.

An American millionaire. who has a
place at Venice, recently invited a party
OIL friends, including q Roman prince,
one of the queen of Italy's maids of
honor and various sprigs of the Italian
allSt0clacy. The Roman prince, how
ever, falled him at the last moment, and
INC most refused to sit down to Dime or
finding that the ompany now consisted
OF thirteen persons. He made various
ifulIIesS attempts TO secure another
guest, and at last, in despair, he an
hcunccd that he intended to follow the
custom OF the Arabs, who always wait
upon their guests and eat their own dim
ners by themselves afterward. The din
mgr, it is said, proved a great success.
