COSTLYFOUNTA|NS
ARE DAMAGED IN
HAUSSL|NG FIRE
Flames, Starting on Third Floor
of Soda Water Factory.
Do Much Damage.
GOOD WORK BY FIREMEN
PREVENTS SPREAD OF BLAZE
Mineral Water Place and Horses
in Adjoining Stables in
Peril for Time.

Forty thousand dollars worth of new
soda water fountains were partly dam
aged in an early morning blaze today
in the factory of the Haussling Soda
Apparatus Manufacturing Company, at
"a and &c Arlington street Mayor
Jacob Haussling is interested In the
concern. Police Commissioner Baader
lives next door to the factory n
was among the first to arrive on the
Ernest Bihl, of Al Nicholson street.
Newly finished fountains were ready
for shipment and will have to be re-
polished and repaired before they ear
be sent away.
Bib was passing in the rear of the
factory at $40 a. M, when his atten-
ton was attracted by the cries of a
woman across the street. Looking up
at the factory he saw flames and smoke
issuing from the third floor and rush
ing into the basement he notified the
engineer, Daniel j. Startup, who i'm
mediately t~elephoned to fire headquar-
tiers. When the firemen reached the
scene they found the third floor burn
ing iercely, but by prompt and eff
fcient work the flames were soon sub
dued. 1t is believed that the loss from
fire and water will approximate $1,000,
though Valentine Braun, who Is presi-
dent of the company, believes the loss
will be nearer 5000 81
T~wenty-six horses kept in a stable
under the factory were led to a place of
safety as soon as the alarm had been
given, and families residing in a tene-
ment adjoining the factory were
aroused and assisted in making ar
rangements for carrying out their
household goods If the need should
arise. There was no necessity for this,
however, as the flames were kept con-
fined to the factory.
The cause of the fire is a mystery.
There was no one in the building at
the time except h engineer, and he
was in the basement. There was no
fire on the third floor, and the only ex-
PLANTATION offered is that 1t was caused
by a defective chimney.
Had the blaze communicated to the
mineral water factory X door, where
a large quantity of chemicals are
stored, it would undoubtedly hav as
sumed large proportions, n would
probably have caused either serious
accidents or loss of life by the explo-
sions which would inevitably have fol-
lowed.
The A. J. & j. HOLE livery stables i'll
Shipman street adjoin the mineral
water factory in the rear, and while no
damage was done, the fifty horses We're
removed to the street, as the smok
filed the building.
