ing Begins at Once.

Fire at 7:3O Sunday morning dam
aged the blacksmith shops of the Mar
shalltown Trowel company to an es-
timated extent of $4,000. by cutting the
ing much of the contents, including
machinery and betting; The most ser
ious loss, however. which cannot be es-
timated in money, is the delay to man
ufacturing operations at an extremely
busy season of the year
At $50 Sunday morning the depart
ment was called to the trowel works,
upon the discovery of fire by the night
Waterman at the Lennox Machine
company's plant This fire was soon
overcome, and careful examination,
both by the department and the
Messrs. Williams, failed to find any
more fire in the building.
The Lennox Waterman, before going
home. noticed the second blaze, which
had got under Roadway before it was
discovered. The roof of the building
was destroyed together with the east
side, which was Of frame.
The second fire caught in the north
east corner of the building, and lit
tie distance away from where the first
blaze was discovered, and Mr.. j. c.
Williams expressed the opinion that
the two were separate and distinct in
their origin. MIR. Williams was not able
to state how the fire started, unless
spontaneous combustion was respon-
sible.
The blacksmithing department Of
the trowel company was working up
to its full capacity, making troWes
and general hardware supplies. Work
was started Sunday to get material on
the grounds to rebuild at once. Insur-
ance in the sum of $1,000 was carried
on the building and contents.
The department was called out on
silent alarm Sunday evening to extin-
guish a flaming telegraph pole at Sec
ond avenue and Byron street. which
had caught from crossed wire. This
morning an alarm was sent in from
16 West Main street. where a hard
coal burner threatened to do damage
in rooms back OF ]. M. Hollis office.

employ The wages granted, which in
some cases were increases, equal, what
is known in railroad circles as the Chi
cago scale, which was agreed upon by
practically all of the western managers
at meeting in Chicago about a year
ago.
After the settlement was reached it
was given out that the agreement was
entirely satisfactory to both. the men
and the company. The two most
marked increases in wages were
granted to the freight engineers and
the firemen Of switch engines. The
former were given an increase Of 40
cents per 100 miles, and the latters

The result Of the meetings can

greater effect has been the stimulation
of the church by the strong Bibllcal
