A VERY DISASTROUS FIRE.
In Grenada October lO-The
Losses and Insurance

One of the most disastrous fires il
the history of Grenada occurred or
Saturday morning, October 10. Th,
fire was first discovered by nigh
policeman Martin who promptly gave
the alarm. Complaint is made thai
no response coul,h be gotten from th!
telephone exchange for long while
and hence the alarm was late in beine
turned in at the power house
The fire company responded with
their usual cOmmendable prOmptneSs
but early in the fire one Of the pnmps
at the power house became inopera-
tive which greatly hindered the work
of fighting the fire. However, later
the defective pump was adjusted and
the remainder Of the block Of build
ingS was saved.
The fire is generally thought to
have started in the rear Of the store
occupied by w. L Richardson. The
stocks of the Grenada Ne rcantile
Company and w. L. Richardson were
beyond any reclamation when the fire
was observed. 1t was thought for a
while that the Grenada Bank building
which joins the rear OF the Grenada
Mercantile Company building on
Depot street, eastward, would be de-
Stroyed, but faithful work saved it,
However, the Grenada Club rooms,
upstairs over the bank, were damaged
to the extent Of 81, 500 perhaps.
The following is. the approximate
insurance carried and the estimated
loss sustained by all who are sufferers
from the fire: Grenada Mercantile
Company, stock $4,000, insurance
$500; r. w. Mullin, on building
$4,000, insurance $4,000: w. L.
Richardson, stock $4,000, insurance
$4,000: e. W. Eatman, druggist,
stock $4,000, insurance $500; on
building $4,000. insurance 81, 500;
Mrs. j. M. Williams building, occu-
pied by A. j. McCaslin, So, 900, insur.
ance $1,000; McCasln on stock
$4,000, insurance $4,000; stock and
fixtures Of w. K. Smith, estiEated
loss 81, 500, fully covered by insurance;
Talbert & BouShe, estimated loss
1000, fully covered by insurance;
Hiram HudSon'S pressing room, loss
5000, insurance sl00; B. S Dudley,
dentist, $500, fully covered by insur-
ance, DR.. j. S. Sharp, $3.50. fully
covered by Insurance.
The stock of r. PreSSgrove, on the
north side Of Depot street, was dam
aged perhaps 81, 500, which was fully
protected. The damage to the Gren.
ada Club ROOMS is estimated at 81, 500 |
It is understood that the work Of re-
building will begin in the burnt dis
trictS as soon as the losses can be ad-
justed.
The store of W. F. Hallam & Co.
is damaged perhaps to the extent of
5000, fully protected. The office of
DR.. II. j. Brown in rear OF EaJman S
drug store. was entirely destroyed, 10

We, the Waterworks Committee of
the City Council, and the Commit
tee appointed by the Commercial Club
OF the City of Ardmore, hereby state
that We have personally inspected
the dam at the city lake, and have
carefully gone over the plans and
estimates of Walter c. Dean, and We
unhesitatingly recommend that the
Improvements outlined by Mr.. Dean
and hereto attached be made.
We are confident that by making
the improvements as herein outlined
that the said dam will need no fur
ther repairs and will stand as long as
time lasts. a smaller amount of mon
ey could be probably used in fixing
said dam; but taking into cOnsidera-
tion the tremendous Importance of
the city lake TO the city, and realiZ-
ing the fearful consequence if any
thing should happen to said dam, We,
therefore think II Is the safest and
wisest course for the city to fix the
same as there will be no possibility
of its giving away in the future.
The plans and specifications in
every detail and even the estimated
cost of each item can be seen at the
office of Walter c, Dean, City Engi-
neer. Respectfully,

NEW BUSINESS TO OPEN
UP IN GRIFFITH
Woodward Glove Company VIII Soon
Be Numbered Among This
Towns Industries.

Griffith, Ind. April 15.-While the
people here have been working to make
satisfactory arrangements for the
landing of the Nevada Motor Car com
pany and other manufacturing con-
Germs, which demanded a great deal
from the purse of the people, a new
concern has quietly slipped in and is
almost ready to begin work They
made no demands at all and few know
that the Woodward Glove company is
installing machinery in the brick
building on Junction avenue, near Main
street. They expect to open their
doors for business in a few days, and
although they will begin with only a
small force, they hope to increase the
number in a short time.
Mr.. Woodward, the head of the con-
Germ, is an old resident here and is
well and favorably known.
He has shown much business tact
and foresight in promoting the con-
Germ, and the citizens will greatly an
preciate what he is doing for the town
without asking anything in return.

PASSENGER TRAIN IN
PERIL BY AETNA EXPLOSION
L. p. Goodwin Tells of Incident Which
Might Have Had Serious
Consequences.

The story is being related this after
noon by L. F. Goodwin. the real estate
man, of another feature of the Aetna
powder mills explosion which occurred
Monday morning. Mr.. Goodwin was just
going to one of the early Lake Shore
trains when the explosion occurred and
he instantly surmised what had hap
pened. Turning he saw a great pun of
smoke arising from the direction of the
mills and he then put his fingers in his
ears to prevent the concussion which
would result from any explosion which
might follow.
AS he turned to go to his train he
heard the scratching of an locomotive
and noticed Wabash passenger train
under full head Of steam attempting to
get its passengers out of danger. The
train passed through Gary at the rate
of about mile minute

For the purpose of demonstrating to
the town board of Gary that the street
cars to be used on the streets of the
town will be modern and adequate, the
entire board, together with other city
officials and interested citizens, will
form junketing party Friday. which
will go to Danville where the cars are
under construction, as the guests of the
Gary & Interurban.
Mr.. Frank Gavit, president of the line
feels proud of the cars which are soon
to ply up and down Broadway and is
anxious to let the town officials know
what he intends to do for the city along
that line. Even If the rails are not the
proper size 1t will hedp to alleviate the
Ill feeling existing against the road, If
the cars are all that could be asked for.
Mr.. Gavit assured the citizens that the
cars are large, long and airy and will
be free from the usual shaking and
jolting to which the patrons of the lines
are accustomed to in this locality.
The party will leave early Friday
morning and return in the evening.
At Danville it is understood that the
citizens of the city, or the Commercial
club are planning a reception to the
visitors at which a dinner will be serv-
ed. The reports emanating from the
Illinois city looks as if some big sur
prise was about to be sprung when the
Garyites come to town. Besides the
city officials who will go to Danville,
are the members of the committee ap-
pointed by the Commercial club who
will report as to quality and efficiency
of the cars The came to the board
meeting yesterday afternoon with the
apparent purpose of wanting to know
the how and why" of the matter of
the street railway, but when the trip to
Danville was suggested they decided to
defer the matter until they could make
a more complete report, which will in
clude their opinion of the cars.
Mr.. Gavit stated today that the cars
would have been completed sooner had
1t not been for the fact that they were
compelled to change their height to ac-
commodate the height of the steel
structure spanning Broadway on the
Gary e Western. I'VE originally in
tended to have the cars unusually high .
said Mr.. Gavit, so that there would be
plenty of air, space and prevent the bad
odors that usually annoy passengers in
street cars. Now. however, they will
be much lower than was at first
planned"
The cars will be forty-three feet
overall and nearly the size of a large
interurban cars. 1t is expected that
the cars will be shipped to Gary in a
few days.
Among those who will go to Danville
are: Mayor T. E. Knots, Millard Cald-
we'll and John Sears, trustees; L. L.
Bomberger, city attorney; A. P Mel
ton. city engineer, and the Commercial
clubs committee, including Attorney
Clarence Bretsch, Attorney George Bar
don, Attorney c. v Ridgley. C. H. Ma
