corraled under guard OF employees OF the
coal company Then men then returned
70 the barn and at considerable risk TO
themselves managed TO remove all the
harness and wagons stored within.
When the fire team arrived on Eddy
street, the fact that the portion OF the
street near the scene OF the blaze was
practically congested by wagons and
horses OF the coal company made IT hard
work for the appartus to drive TO the hy-
drants near that place. The horses and
wagons were, however. moved In such
manner that this difficulty was overcome
before the work of the FIRE lighters was
hampered very much
It was thought for a time that the hre
would ignite the thousands OF tons or
coal stored nearby but a favorable breeze
averted this
The blaze seemed TO be hercest In the
second story OF the building about mid
way between the front and rear eleva-

iron coal pockets. In order TO prevent
this portion of the oompanys property
from catching, a detachment OF firemen
was set TO work sprinking that structure
with water.
Dense clouds Of thick. black smoke
arose from inside OF the barn, presumably
from the blazing hay stored within, and
on that account the work Of the flremen
who entered the structure with the In
tenuon of saving property there was not
without its danger.
President r. b. Little OF the Eastern
Coal company and Ellery Pomroy OF the
same concern, we're on the scene soon af-
ter the discovery Of the fire. and directed
the work OF their employees In saving
such property as was portable. The horses
were led TO the Point street stables OF
the Eastern Coal company and neighbor-
ing livery stables, and force OF men was
set to work separating the harness and
getting things in good shape so that work
og filing orders for coal, which Is TO be
delivered today. would not be hampered.
The fire burned fercely until about 10
o'clock, when the firemen had confined
the blaze to a small compartment in the
middle of the second starry. The work Of
throwing hay out into the lanes surround
ing the building was then commenced.
and at IL o'clock only few smouldertns
embers were left.
Ellery Pomroy who is connected with
the Pomroy yards, WIS seen and said that
the damage would undoubtedly reach be-
tween s25,O 900 and $780, 900. He was at loss to
say what the cause OF the blaze was, but
thought that IL started in the hay loft
