Women stood on the upper deck and
threw their babies into the water.
Then they jumped or slid down the

babies thrown by panic-stricken
mothers in his arms. Other men
caught little ones.

Starts From Locomotive Spark.
1t is the theory of the Davenport de-
partment that the conflagration had its
inception in a spark from a passing To-
connective carried into one of the zee
company barns. The fire was discov-
cred at 3:15. 1t gained rapid Roadway,
and when the fire companies arrived,
all of the buildings that were finally
consumed were enveloped in flames. A
general alarm was sounded, and the
Centrals of Rock Island went to assist
the Davenport department. Simultan-
eously with the breaking out of the fire
a strong blow of wind came from the
southeast, tanning the flames into a
solid roaring mass, giving the whole
the appearance Of a yard filed with
cotton burning. Twenty streams of
water that were playing on the fire had
no apparent subsiding effect, and all
the while, aided by the wind, the sheets
of flame were sweeping west and broad
ening the fire zone. 1t was realized by
the men of the departments that a fight
to save any of the burning buildings
would prove fruitless, and the danger
of a spread that might wipe out blocks
of factories and residences immediate
| ~ to the north and west, being immi-
nent, it was determined to direct the
energies of the companies towards the
preservation of adjoining structures.
Nine Horses Perish.
At noon today the fire was still burn
ing, streams having been kept playing
on the debris through the whole night.
Nine horses belonging TO the ice COM
pany persisted. The machinery of the
latter concern all was saved In the
yards of the Brammer Manufacturing
company there were stored 1000, 900
feet of Louisiana spruce lumber. all of
which was consumed. as were three
cars filed with washing machines and
LOCO machines stored in the company
warehouse. All of the firemen were
scorched. but all of the men stuck to
their posts until the danger of a spread
of the flames had subsidized.
1t was announced today that he
three destroyed plants would be rebuilt
at once. The Brammer Manufacturing
company was the largest maker of
washing machines in the world 1t
was the oldest of the several washing
machine factories located in Davenport.
1t employed 125 men.
