CHAIR FACTORY
IS DESTROYED
Bad Fire Does Much Damage
at Early Hour This
Morning.
M. J. O'BRIENS PLANT
ONE OF THE TWO BUILDINGS
COMPOSING PLANT WAS BE-
LIEvED DOOMED TO TOTAL
DESTRUCTION.

At 2:3O o'clock this morning fire
was discovered in one Of the two
buildings composing the plant of the
Richmond Chair Company, North 18th
and streets. and owned by Michael
J. O'Brien.
The interior of the frame building,
which is on the corner, was a seeth-
ing mass of flames when the depart
ment arrived in response to an alarm
turned in by the watchman at the
Hoosier Drill works. The structure
is an old one, and being filled with in
fIammable material, it appeared to be
doomed from the start. Just how the
blaze originated could not be ascer-
tained, but it had gained such head
way when discovered that the firemen
believed it had been smoIdering for
several hours. The smoke arising
from the burning structure filled the
dir ana was swept over the cTttFc CitJ
The fire department directed much
attention toward saving the brick Of
flee building to the rear of the frame
structure, although several streams of
water were played upon the flames
within the latter. The building was
filled with valuable machinery, Iathes,
etc, for the manufacture of high
grade chairs, and there was much
raw and finished material also stored
in the building. At 3 o'clock, when
the Palladium went to prescT the be-
lief prevailed that the plant was in
imminent danger of total destruction.
No estimate as to the probable loss
could be obtained at that hour, but it
may be upwards of $4,000.

Chicago, Oct. 20.-The announce
ment from New York that an english
holding company is being formed to
take over all the American packing
plants bears out rumors which have
been current in LaSalle street for
several weeks. For some time the
activity in the shares of Swift and
Company on the local stock exchange
has attractedsa great deal of atten-
ton. The street tried to explain the
steady buying of all the stock that
was offered ON the market and was
content TO believe that pool was
operating in the shares for solely
speculative purposes.
Now it is stated that conferences
have been held here at frequent in
tervals at which the chief packing
house representatives have been pre-
sent. What has been accomplished
cannot be learned from the men in
terested, but taking the New York re-
port in connection with tho:A -e\d
locally, it was assumed in LaSalle
street today that the negotiations
look to a purchase of minor compan-
les which heretofore have not been
considered part of the Big Six"
Rumor says that already there is a
consolidation agreement of some kind
between Swift interests and the Ar
mours
The significance of such a move
ment is that one corporation will
conduct the packing industry of the
country, much as the United States
Steel corporation guides that in iron
and steel.

Americas l.. Pogue, one of Rich

! in Chicago at the home of his son,
George Pogue.

Mr.. Pogue had been in Colorado
looking after business matters ana
reached Chicago Wednesday, enroute
to Richmond. He was stricken i'll
and his family summoned the follow
ing day. For a number of years he
had not been in robust health, though
he had been active in the conduct
his age, 76, there was few men who
displayed such untiring energy in
business matters as did Mr.. Pogue
The announcement of his death
last evening caused profound sur
prise and regret throughout the city.
There were few persons who were
aware that he had been stricken i'll
in Chicago and therefore there was
great surprise when it became known
that the career of one of the city's
most prominent men had been end
ed.
The body will be brought to Rich
mond and taken to the family home,
1416 East Main street. The an
nouncement of the funeral will be

Born in Pennsylvania.
Mr.. POgue was a native of Green |
county, Pennsylvania and his resi- |
dence in Richmond was of nearly 40 |
years duration. He came here in |
1868, and purchased the country seat |
ner homestead. His earliest business
venture in Indiana was at Logans |
port where for considerable period |
he was in the wholesale grocery
trade and also was identified with
other interests.
During this time and continuing
throughout his entire life, Mr.. Pogue
had many business projects in the
far west. He was interested in num-
erous mining properties at various
times and he was in Colorado on his
last trip away from home looking af-
ter silver mine interests
Some years ago Mr.. Pogue became
identified with the irrigation projects
in Arizona. He was one of the pio-
neers in the work financing great If
rigation companies.
In Chicago and other cities Mr.
Pogue had extensive and valuable
real estate holdings for many years.
N Richmond he was never identified
with many business enterprises. The

Main streets, and which was the !
lucleus of the present wholesale
hardware business of Pogue, Miller & {
Co., was his only local venture OF
For the past dozen
ears or more, however, he mad no
interests in this concern, though his
lame was still identified with it,
Mr.. Pogue at one time owned the
Nescott block on Main street, dis
posing of it some years ago.
