sEABOARD SHOPS BURN.
Fire Causes Loss of 100000 on Sa-
vannah Plant.

Failure of the water supply was
responsible for most of the loss Fri
day night when fire swept through
the shops of the Seaboard Air Line
railway in Savannah, leveling the
machine shops, round house and the
blacksmith shops. Firemen were
helpless soon after the fire started,
and the blaze burned as it willed for
an hour. The fire originated in the
blacksmith shops. The total loss
probably is 100000. Engines in
the round house were saved, but all
the machinery in the shops was a
total wreck.
Four hundred men were thrown
out of employment. Work will be
transferred to Americas and Jackson
vile shops for the present.
