Bid Packing Plant Destroyed by Fire

Baltimore, Md, August 31.-The large
packing plant of Street & Corkran Il
this city was destroyed by fire today,
the loss being estimated at $125, 900.
The buildings, a large stock of meats
and $50 live hogs were entirely consum>
ed. So quickly did the fire spread that,
though efforts were made to save the
animals, none could be gotten out. 1t
was only with the greatest effort that
the fire department was able to save
the adjacent buildings from destruc-
ton. Several firemen received injuries,
non serious. The fire was caused by
the explosion of ammonia tanks.

Exchange yesterday morning along
with the announcement that in future
the North and South Steamship Com
pany will operate three ships between
this port and New York, the San
turce, with which the line was origi-
mated; the David, and the Pensacola.
These ships are booked to make sail
ings from Savannah every three or
four days.
Mr.. Stewart also says his line will
charge no lighterage fees where the
cotton is landed at the German
American storehouses. Mr.. Stewart
denies he is making any rate
war, but says he finds he can carry
cotton for the rates he is offering, and
is willing to do it. The Santurce, the
only vessel of the North and South
Line, which has been operating be-
tween Savannah and New York, is
said to have done a very profitable
business since 1t was put on, taking
full cargoes of lumber, naval stores
and cotton on each trip.
The cut In the rate affects only the
Ocean Steamship Company, but just
what measures that line will take to
meet the change is not known as there
was no officer of the company i'm Sa.
vannah yesterday who could say
what its policy would be. Officials
OF the Ocean Steamship Company and
the Merchants and Miners Transpor-
tation Company were in Savannah in
conference last week and though IL
was given out that the meeting here
was accidental. IL is not improbable
that the new competition of the North
