a BIG FIRE.
BIG INDUSTRIAL PLANT IN
CLEVELAND DESTROYED.

(By Telegraph to Virglnian-P ilot.)
Cleveland. Ohio Dec. 17.-Fire early
today almost entirely destroyed the
big plant of the Brown Hosting and
Conveying Machine Company.
Five out of seven buildings used by
the company are in ashes ana prop
erty estimated Ito be worth over $500
900 entirely consumed. Eleven hun
bred workmen are thrown out of en-
ployment as a result of the fire. The
company, which is probably the larg-
est concern of the kind in the world,
has many contracts with the govern
ment for hosting apparatus TO be
erected at coaling stations throughout
the world
The flames started in the varnish
room of the Elwell-Parker Electric
Company, which occupied n part of one
of the Brown Company's buildings
The loss to the Elwell-Parker Com
pany is about 100000. covered by in
surance. Hundreds of employees were
compelled to jump from windows in
order to escape with their lives as q
result of the rapid spread OF the
flames. No one, however, as far as
known, was seriously injured. The loss
TO the Brown Company Is largely COW
cred by insurace. The plant will be
rebuilt at once.

JENNINGS TO PLAY BALL

The Saengerbund bowlers received slight
setback in their pennant chasing career
last night. To be sure their percentage is
little smaller than it was before the con-
test, but nevertheless the loss of two games
to the Columbias last night had the effect
of pulling the German players down from
the tie which had for few days united
them to the Carroll Institute team. Last
night there were three games at the CO.
lumbia's alleys and the visitors had hopes
that their friends, the Columbias, would
not prove an extremely difficult PROPOSE
ton. But the ex-winged arrows went at
their job in very business-like way, and
easily won two of the games, losing the
other by very narrow margin. The games
IN which Columbia was victorious were
theirs strictly on account Of meritorious
bowling, for twice the $40 mark was passed
and very much passed at that.
The Saengers put up but one good total.
that OF the second game, and that one was
a hard score to lose by. But the Columbias
bowled in good shape in all of the games,
men finished with an average for the even
fnS's play of considerably more than $50.
Stitt also got good average in spite of
the fact that his opening game was low
Burdine did excellently for the visiting
team and averaged 10. None of his col
leagues were near him. and Meyers dis
unguished himself by making the lowest
score of the season, though in this he was
aided by Captain Ford, who succeeded him
in the ending frames of the first game.
The opening game was productive of some
low individual scores, but was close enough
fIom the team standpoint to be interest
ing. Columbia forced the fighting in the
first part of the match, but was eclipsed
toward the end. SaengerS won out with a
narrow but comfortable margin. The score
