Fire Liable to Originate at
Any Time From Flying
Sparks of Passing Trains.
INTERPRETED WITH
THE FIREMEN
Their Work Was Iampcred
BY Well Intended
Persons.

The disastrous tirc which this af-
tsrnoon destroyed the buildings and
effects of the Standard OIL Company,
the Amicon Fruit Company, and tho
Peerless Fruit Company and started
in the plant OF the Standard oil Com
pany. should act as aH incentive to
the Board Of Affairs 10 prevent the
handling and storage of either oil
or other in1amable material i'm such
close proximity to business and resi-
dence houses.
The Standard OH plant Is located
at particularly dangerous place.
their tanks barrels and ware rooms
being within few feet of the Nor
folk Il Western tracks where heavily
loaded trains are continually passing
and by flying sparks liable so start
a blaze at any time
II the fire had happened at night
the results would have been ten fold
more disastrous.
That the location or the Standard
Oil Company plant ON this street is
a continual menace to life and prop
erty, and steps should be taken 10 Sc
cure a removal OF their storage
rooms, tanks and empty barrels to
more isolated section OF the city.
AS Is usual where there Is not sum-
Client police force to handle a large
crowd, there was serious interference
with the work OF tho nrcmen by well
intended but ;houghuess people.
Tho crowds were constantly get
ting IN tho way. Men who Ought to
have known better tried to give in
struc;ions to the men over the head
OF the chief and IN many instances
prevented The flremen from promptly
c'rryi1g out his Instructions. They
were, for tn, most part, business
men who honestly thought they were
rendering n service when they doing
exactly the opposite.

are still burning.
At the beginning OF the nre the
tops were quickly removed from the
oil and gasoline tanks so that no eX-
plosion would result in case the heat
or flying sparks should ignite them
The Norfolk and Western railway
tracks running just behind the burn
ed buildings c1ught fire but -he rail
road company soon made conection
with their water power and succeed
ed in stopping the'fre.
Three cars loaded with coal were
also on the side track and were
burned. Their loss can not be esti-
mated, but will reach several thous-
and dollars.
The coal shed OF the Peerless Coal
Company caught from the burning
Standard Oil and Amicon buildings
but was practically burned down. al
though the Norfolk and Western hose
rendered good service in fighting the
fire. Their loss could not be ascer-
tanned, but viii be light.

ing highly commended for their hero

burned buildings.
There were no fatalities.
