Burning of Boiler House Stops Opera

The burning of the house covering a
large steam boiler in the Potomac Park
on the line of the railway improvements
yesterday evening will seriously hamper
the building of one OF the big stone piers
that is to support the overhead tracks
coming into the city. The boiler was used
to furnish steam to operate two big der
ricks which handled the stone for the
piers.
The burning of the house heated the
boiler red hot and damaged IT to such an
extent that II will be several days before It
can be used again. Meanwhile the derrieks
are idle and the work is stopped
In consequence of the intense heat of the
boiler engine No. IA. which responded TO
the alarm. was unable to throw water on
the fire, because of she danger of an ex-

was burned 10 the ground. The telegraph
