-ABATTC!R COMRANY5 LOSS
COLD STORAGE STRUCTURE DE-
STROYED YESTERDAY BY FIRE.
Dealers Lose Heavily in Destruct iOr
of Meat fetal Df Damage
About E4OsOOO.

The cold storage structure of the Wash
irgton Abattoir Company. at Benning. was
almost totally destroyed by fire yesterday
afternoon. causing loss of about $4,000.
The cause of the fire is not known. The
building was fully insured. but some local
dealers had but partial insurance on their
| meat stored in the building
On two previous occasions fire visited the
abattor property. In 1893 the entire plant
was destroyed.
Between and o'clock yesterday after
noon fire was discovered in the building.
and in response to an alarm and telephone
message two engine companies went to the
scene. Others would have gone, 1t is said.
had there been better supply of water in
the vicinity of the structure. Mr.. f. Solo
mon butcher, was at the abattoir when
the fire started and about the time he sent
a telephone message asking for assistance
Policeman b. F. Williams saw the smoke
issuing from the building and turned in an
alarm. Engineer s. F. Bryan, who was on
duty in the engine room, went to the part
OF the building in which the fire originated
TO make an investigation. He narrowly
escaped being burned In saving himself
from the flames he fell distance of nearly
twenty feet, and was badly bruised and his
ankle was Sprained.
A number of citizens. including several
SAhploySu dt the dDdltOlT, reached the
building before the arrival of the fire en-
gines. and assisted in the work of saving
the stock in the building They also rem
dered valuable assistance to the firemen.
For nearly three hours the flames kept
the firemen at work. and 1t was not until
long after dark that the companies re-
turned to the city. The large amount of
grease In the building caused a dense
smoke and seriously interfered with the
work of those who endeavored to save the
stock.
1t Is estimated that the injury to the
building will amount to fully $4,000, while
the contents, mostly meat. were damaged
to the amount of about s15,0OO.
