ROSIN AND OIL
MADE BIG BLAZE
CALDWELL MFG co. BURNED.
DAMAGE IS ESTIMATED AT ABOUT
$4,000.

Factory Had Begun Operation
Yesterday MOrning-Ffre Caused
by Tank of Rosin Boiling over.
Fire Department Fought Blaze for
oven an Hour-The Loss Is Partial
~ Covered by Insurance-Much of
the Machinery Was Saved-RumOr
That SeabOard shops Were Burn
ing Caused Excitement.
The Caldwell Manufacturing Com
panys plant, located on the Ogeechee
canal at the foot of Jones street, was
destroyed by fire at o'clock last night.
The loss is estimated at $4,000.
The buildings were completed and the
machinery installed about two weeks
ago. and the plant began operation
yesterday morning for the first time.
The fire started in the machinery
room. and was caused by a tank of
rosin boiling over and catching fire
from the furnace. The fire department
was notified by telephone and compa-
MES 4 and responded, but on account
of the distance the fire had gained con-
siderable Roadway before the firemen
reached the scene.
The room was almost filled with
rosin and it was impossible for the
fire companies to extinguish the blaze.
An alarm was turned in from box "a,
on Wilson and Walker streets, and
companies and 8 responded. but be-
fore they reached the scene the fire
WAS under control
Buildings Were Insured.
The buildings that were burned were
of frame construction and covered or
the outside with sheet iron. The
machinery building was entirely de-
stroyed and the boiler room was bad
ly damaged. The loss is estimated by
Chief Mcguire to be in the neighbor-
hood of $4,000. The loss is partially
covered by insurance and much of the
machinery in the machinery building
will be saved from the wreck.
The firemen battled with the flames
for over an hour, and not until after
the machinery building had been COM
pletely destroyed were they able to
check the progress of the fire. The
burning rosin made a bright blaze.
near the factory were preparing to
move out, expecting the fire to spread.
When companies and 4 responded
to the alarm 1t was reported that the
Seaboard Air Line shops were burn
ing, and considerable excitement was
caused among the railroad men.
People Smelled Burning ROsin.
The burning of the rosin and oil
stored in the machinery room caused
a disagreeable odor for a distance of
over a mile, and many people who had
not heard the alarm were attracted by
the disagreeable odor.
Many of the railroad men went to
the scene of the fire, being under the
impression that 1t was the Seaboard
Air Line shops. The owner and man
ager of the establishment could not
be located to ascertain the exact
damage to the plant.
The factory was established for the
purpose of extracting oil from rosin.
The product of the factory would have
been used in the manufacture of
paints and varnish.

ANTlT0XIN TRUST DOES
NOT AFFECT SAVANNAH.
While other Cities Suffer, no Use Is
Found for the Serum Here.

Found Tor the Serum Here.
DR.. w. F. Drummer, health officer,
says that the increase in the price of
the antitoxin serum by the recently
formed antitoxin trust will not effect
the city of Savannah. as it is a very
rare thing for a case of diphtheria
to make its appearance here.
The poor of Chicago are now suffer-
ing from the effect of the increase in
the price of the serum by the trust,
and the Chicago Medical Society is
preparing to prosecute the officials of
the trust under the provisions of the
antitrust law.
The health officials of Chicago are
wiring TO all the leading cities in the
country trying to secure a sufficient
supply of the antitoxin to meet the
great demand occasioned by the
scourge of the dreaded disease among
the children of that city. But Savan-
nah is fortunate in that she doesn't
need the serum, although a limited
supply is always on hand.
