PART OF HOWELL SHOPS DESTROYED
The Louisville and Nashville Railroad Has
Another Big Fire Early Sunday
Morning.

/ A<VbAo ~ AfoNAlN AllO ldillOdQ
company has had her fourth big
fire within the past two months.
The Henderson freight house,
Nashville round house, Louisville
passenger station and the Howell
blacksmith, coppersmith and
boiler shops.
1t was the worst time, Sunday
morning, that the fire could have
occurred, being when the night
crew goes off and the day crew
goes on. About Z O'Clock John
Martin, foreman Of the repair
track, together with the day
Waterman who had just come on
duty, discovered blaze about
two feet square in the black
smith shop, under the roof, about
two feet from the petition be-
tween the blacksmith and boiler
shop. The alarm was immedi-
ately given, and TO the credit of
the Howell shops fire department
lit must be said that within ten
minutes after three streams of
water were playing on the blaze.
The blaze, however, had gained
too much Roadway to be checked.
The building is 260 feet long by
100 feet wide. All the timbers
supporting the roof were yellow
pine and dry, igniting very rap
idly. The fire spread as if the
wood work had been saturated
with oil. In a moment the wood
Ell. sky-light fell in, causing more
draft. BY the time the Evans
vile fire department arrived, the
l.. & N. boys had the fire pretty
much under control. The water
was being forced by 100 pounds
pressure, which, it seems, was
too much for the hose of the Ey-
ansville fire department., as they
soon bursted four sections.
Mr.. Walsh, the master mechan-
ic, says the fire will not interfere
with the work of the other de-
partments, nor will it put any
men out of work. All the fur
naces in the blacksmith shop will
again be going as if nothing had
ever happened by Wednesday
morning. The damage will not
exceed four or five thousand dol
lars.
Pat McCue, the foreman of the
blacksmith shop, left Saturday
night for ST. Charles, Mo. He
was notified by wire of the dis
aster and he returned to Howell
at once, being on hand this morn
ing.
The source of the fire is traced
to a group of electric wires on
which the insulation had been
worn.
If the fire had broken out at
any other time it would have
been easier to cope with, especi-
ally in view of the fact that the
Howell shops has perhaps the
best fire fighting facilities in the
country. Gus Carpenter, fore
man of the tin shop, is the chief.
Walter Jarrett, air brake manip-
ulaJor and instructor, assistant.
The rest of the boys belong in
the various departments. They
practice one hour every Friday.
AS precaution against fire,
one fireman is appointed for each
department, who examines every
nook and corner for spontaneous
combustion or oily waste that
may be scattered around, and
also examines fiues and furnaces.
This is done once week. The
chief, also, makes his rounds once
a week IN all departments. Mr..
Walsh is authority for the state
ment that they have on hand g.
600 feet Of hose in excellent con-
dition and ready for immediate
use.
