PRATT CITY HAS
DISASTROUS FIRE
MACHINE SHOPS, BLACKSMITH
SHOP, PLANNING MILL AND THE
BOILER HOUSE OF BIRMINGHAM
SOUTHERN DESTROYED.

Pratt City. February 2O-(Special. THE
largest fire that the town has had for
many years was the one this afternoon
which completely destroyed the machine
shops, blacksmith shop, planning mill and
the boiler house of the Birmingham
Southern railroad.
The fire was first discovered in the
bloer house, but 1t spread very rapidly,
and as there was no water plug near,
it was impossible for the fire depart
ment to render very effective aid and
above buildings We're soon reduced to
ashes.
There was not a very high wind and
the round house and car shop did not
catch fire, which is very fortunate in
that q large new engine is in the round
house along with other engines and the
loss would have been very much heavier.
AS it is the damages will reach sew
eral thousands of dollars, as few of the
machines that We're among the eduip-
ment OF the planning mill and machine
shops will be of any more service.
