RUBBER ST0REH0USE
ENTIRELY CONSUMED
Loss of 100000 at Maiden, Mass, Last
Night, Converse Independent Rub
Der Company Being the
Loser

Maiden Mass. Feb, 3.-UpwaTds Of
100000 worth of rubber goods ID the
storehouse OF the Converse Independent
Rubber company went up IN iil-smelling
smoke last night when the storehouse
and its contents were entirely destroyed
by fire The blaze generated unusual
heat. which seriously warped teh nearby
tracks Of the western division OF the
Boston 4 Maine railroad, tying up traf-
fic for hours and burning out telephone,
telegraph and electric light wires for
some distance around.
1t was the shrill whlstlng Of the si-
rens ON passing locomotives that drew
the attention of engineer William O'Con-
nell TO the blaze, which then was burn
ing in the northeast corner OF the Sec
ond floor.
The storehouse, a tRo-storv wooden
structure of about 1900 square feet. IS
located at the foot OF Pearl street, con-
nected with the eonfpany's factory by a
wooden runway. When the apparatus
arrived, the hydTant OF water was suf-
iieient to allow the use OF only four lines
OF hose, and the firemen were forced
to allow the flames to run havoc over
the HtbttlitnrE an NAttCt W save tAft AA11E
valuable manufactured goods in the fac
tory
For time the asbestos covering of the
storehouse concealed the full extent OF
the blaze, but soon the flames penetrated
this, and when the sprinklers IN the
building stopped the fire was uneonfned.
The stopping OF the sprinklers, however.
gave a new supply to the hydrant lines
and the fight TO save the factory was
eventually successful. The cause of the
blaze is unknown.
Marquis NJ Converse late last night
estimated his loss at over 100000 Mr..
Converse said the manufactured and
crude rubber in the building were valued
at about S250.000, aud the building itself
cost the concern $4,000. The entire
damage is covered by insurance.
