GLUE GOES
UP in FLAMES
Newport Plant Damaged to
Extent Of Several Thousand
Dollars This Morning
WILMINGTON FIREMEN
HELP EXTINGUISH FIRE

One end OF the glue works Of the
Agricultural Chemical Company, at
Newport, was destroyed by tire this
morning, entailing a loss Of several
thousand dollars. Just what the
exact loss is an official Of the com
pany was unable to say to-day and
he would not even venture at an
estimate When asked II $4,000, the
figures given in a morning newspaper,
was correct. he said the amount was
only a guess.
That the entire plant was not de-
stroyed was due to the efforts Of the
Minauas Fire Company, OF Newport,
aided by the Union and Reliance com
panies, of this city. The Wilmington
companies we're hurried to the scene
of the fire as soon as word Of it was
received here.
The origin of the blaze is not known.
Two forces were kept at work at the
plant and the men on duty last night
ably assisted the firemen in fighting
the flames.
The fire was discovered between 4.30
o'clock and 5 o'clock and the MEM
bers of the Minquas Company were
Immediately summoned by the blow
ing of the mill whistle.
Many citizens turned out to do fire
duty and four lines of hose we're run
from plugs Of the Pennsylvania Rail-
road Company.
When the Union Fire Company ar
rived from Wilmington the fire was
practically under control, but the
Wilmington men turned in and pre-
vented further danger.
The portion of the mills destroyed
was devoted 10 the digesters, the
grinding and packing machines. The
machinery was valuable and the loss
of this will add several thousand
dollars to the total loss.
The concern was recently pur-
chased by Philadelphia parties and
was operated under the name Of the
Consolidated Agricultural Chemical
Company and in conjunction with the
Consolidated Beef Company OF Phila-
delphia.

Councilman Tells MANAGER
HeiHdIe, Borough is Tired
of Being "JOlIied"

CHESTER, Pa. Sept. SO.-Lans
downe's City Council is up against the
division Of the Wilmington and Phila-
delphia Traction Company that runs
through that borough.
At the special meeting OF Lansdowne
Council on Tuesday evening the mat
ter of getting better trolley facilities
and the paving of Baltimore avenue
was taken up with w. A. Heindle, of
Wilmington, general manager of the
Southern Pennsylvania Traction Com
pany, and President Cherry. of the
United Paving and Construction Com
pany, which is putting down the new
street pavement Mr.. Heindle pre-
sented a request that the Borough
Council give the trolley company per-
mission TO construct a reverse curve
for distance Of about 1f5 feet which
would enable the company to connect
its tracks with the eastern end of the
line IN Upper Darby township. This
Council refused to do.
Mr.. Heindle was asked some very
important questions as to why the
company was dllatory in relocating
its tracks on Baltimore avenue. He
replied that when the work Of paving
Baltimore avenue was started the COM
pany had not been prepared, as It did
not have the necessary new tracks
or fittings. Mr. Heindle told Council
that is would be impossible to have
the 1900 feet of new rail in Lands
downe until about October 10 or II,
and that the company was willing
TO work as fast as possible 10 relieve
the condition Of the highway and also
the poor trolley facilities.
This did not suit Council and Coun-
Gilman William McKeown then stated
that the borough was tired of being
"iollied," and that he would not vote
to give the trolley company any more
privileges until 1t completed re-locat-
ing it's tracks.
President Cherry told Council that
ne was not responsible for the pres
ent deplorabIe state of Baltimore ave
nue., and he said that the trolley com
pany In not removing the track quick
ly, caused him to be held up IN his
work. He then offered Mr.. Heindle
sufficient men TO tear up the tracks
west of Baltimore avenue, which was
accepted, and yesterday morning this
work was begun. The company viii

then told that the trouble was with
