THE EAGLE BLAzES
A $4,000 Fire at High
Point Last Night.
Machinery Room, Engine Room, Dry
Kiln and Other Property of the
Furniture Company Destroyed
by Fire.

Especial to News and Observer
High Point, \. g. Oct. 1O.-The
screams from the Threats of half
hundred whistles tonight at fifteen
minutes to 8 o'clock threw the ten
thousand Inhabitants of this city into
of the fire was the mammoth plant
of tho Eagle Furniture Company, and
its origin was in dry Kiln.
This plant is located in a rather
thickly settled factory district and
for several minutes people held their
breath for fear lest the flames should
spread To adjoining factories and
houses and cause holocaust. But
when excitement was the highest. the
work of The fire departments was tell
ing on the flames, and the ten streams
of water formed a Veritable wall of
defense and the flames were seen to
be under control. As soon as the
flames enveloped the engine room, the
great boiler roared and snorted, giving
out great streams of steam, and the
thousands of people ON the grounds
tumbled over each other in the mad
rush Of danger, fearing that the huge
boiler would explode. No sooner was
the excitement over in this case than
it was heard that the oil-houSe was in
fearful danger and the onlookers scat
tered like so many winged birds.
The loss to the plant includes ma
chinery room. engine rooms dry kiln,
II large amount of lumber and other
property, and a conservative estimate
places it at 5000, with insurance.
The finishing room with a large part
OF manufactured product, together
with the office, was saved.
The sample room was badly dam
aged by fire and water.
This leaves the company without
any machinery to work with. and puts
it out Of business until the necessary
equipment together with buildings can
be replaced.
The Eagle Furniture Company was
organized in 1898. 1t was one Of the
best plants here, and occupied several
large buildings The machinery room
destroyed was so by lao feet, and the
