Shortly before four O'Clock yesterday
morning a fire broke out in the engine
house at the shipyard, foot OF FransIin
stree. A'rame structure, used by the Ma
tiouaI Electric Supply Company, adjolned
the engine house, aud in consequence OF
the combusiible nature of the buildings
and their contents, the fire gained con-
siderable Roadway before the arrival OF
the steam engines.
At the Alexandria plant OF the Nation
al Electric Supply Company, locust
pins Tor crossarms of telegraph poles are
turned out in large quantities each day,
and thousands of them we're stored In
building adjoining the mill on the north.
The storeroCm was damaged but It's con-
tents were saved, as was the greater part
of the rough material on hand, but the
mill was destroyed and the machinery
greatly damaged.
The plant Of the Marine Railway and
Coal Company, which adjoins on the
south, was also badly damaged, though
the railway aud cradle we're saved This
is the second time the railway buildings
have been destroyed in recent years.
The damage 10 both plants is estimated
at between "a, 600 and So, 600, partially
covered by insurance.
An oversight when the new No. 4 FIRE
engine, Columbia, was tested and ac-
cepted several days ago caused fifteen to
twenty minutes delay yesterday morning
in getting water on the blaze.
The new engine reached the grounds
ahead OF the No. engine. the Reliance,
and took position at the plug nearest the
fire. No. 5 engine stood at plug u
SQUARE north. Ii was discovered that
the threads on the suction pipe OF the new
engine were too small for those on the
plug. and it Was impossible to make con-
nectlOu.
1t appears that the new engine had
been tested at the river, aOme days be-
fore but not at any of the plugs OF the
city, and to this oversight IS assigned
she trouble yesterday morning.
After considerable delay it was neces-
ssrv to retire No. 5. Meantime stiff
breeze from the west had famed the fire
and a stubborn fight, which lasted two
hours aud quarter, was necessary before
che flames were extingushed
The suction pipe of the neW engine is
now adjusted to the city fire plugs, and
it is hoped, there will be no repetition OF
ye,terday mornings trouble.
Inc property destroyed, except the
machinery of the National Electric Sup
ply Company. was owned by Mr. PARK
Aguew. The buildings will at once DC
rebuilt and work resumed as soon as
possible.
