LUMBER PLANTS
DESTROYED BY
FIERCE FIRE.
Plants of StiverS Lumber
Co. and Flora Lumber Co.
Burned.
PROPERTY LOSS
VERY LARGE
Telephone Companies and In
terurban Service Tempo
rarily Interrupted.

Fire originating from an unknown
cause early last night destroyed the
plants of the Stivers Lumber Co. and
the Flora Lumber Co., on South Main
street.
The fire began in the Flora Lum-
Der Co.'s building adjoining, and in a
few hours both plants were complete
ly destroyed.
The Stivers plant, which was a
total loss, was built in 1903 by VIM.
P. Ardery and o. Edwards, at a cost
of $1,000 and was afterward pur-
chased by Mr.. J. H. Stivers Mr..
Stivers had insurance of $4,000 on
building and $1,000 on stock, worth
$4,000 Of this sum $4,000 was car
ried in the agency of Mcclure &
Clendenin.
Mr.. Albert Wright lost a carload of
cement worth $3.50.
Ossian Edwards loss on sash,
door, blinds and interior finish was
$500.
The Flora Lumber Co.'S loss will be
about $4,000. They carried insurance
the exact amount of which could not
be ascertained
Mr.. Stivers saved his Office fix
lures, books, etc. His building was
pronounced one of the best built
warehouses in the city.
The telephone, telegraph and cleo.
trio service, as we'll as the Interuf
ban electric car sexvice, was tempo
rarily put out of commission. All
the telephones of the Cumberland
Telephone Company in South Paris
were put out Of commission by the
burning of wires, cables and poles.
The fire was one of the most
spectacular, as well as disastrous
ones, seen IN Paris for many years
An accurate estimate of the prop
erty loss in round figures is impos
sible to obtain tonight, owing to in
ability of the firms involved to gel
to their books and papers.
The fire was well under control al
midnight. By hard work the fire
was confined to the two plants de
stroyed, and was prevented from
reaching the feed and commission
house of Dodson & Denton, adjacen
to the burned warehouses.

tries feel that as Europe has dis
rupted the trade of neutrals, the lat
ter should more vigorously assert
their rights. The chief trouble with
South American trads is the lack of
ships to carry cargoes and the in
security of such trade as it carried
in merchant vessels flying the flags
OF belligerents.
The presence of German fleet n
South American waters has held
back many British merchantmen,
while German steamers by the scores
are lying idle in South American
ports.
While none of the remedial pro-
posals suggest whether some of the
big freighters flying belligerent flags
would lie released for coastwise
trade within certain neutral zones.
1t is known that the South American
countries would welcome an arrange
ment between the belligerents where
by some CT these vessels would be
permitted to engage in coas.twise
trade.
Net alone, however, with the idea
of restoring the trade paralyzed by
the war, but with the purpose of
removing possible causes of friction
and neutrality conversies with Euco-
pean belligerents have the various
suggestions for joint action with the
United States Eeen advanced.
The South American countries
would also prefer that the belligerent
nayies fight their battles in another
hemisphere, the tangles over the use
of the wireless and coaling privileges
having produced complications with
Europe.
Although both Ecuador and Co.
lombia claim that they now have
Taken measures which are satisfac-
tory to Great Britain and France of
their neutrality, Chile's declaration
that German ships had violated her
neutrality has interjected another
difficulty into the situation.
These problems have been recog-
niaed diplomats generally from Pan
America as affording an opportune
incentive to united action on the
part of the neutrals in asking for
the removal of all belligerent war
ships from the American coasts.

Iest Sattle of the war, actual details

German reports, without entering

scrapes successful operations in the
region Of this great battle, but al
mitI that the German army has not
succeeded in bringing the struggle to
close. 1t is evident that tho rom-

portunity to envelop General Won

Additional details concerning the

serve to confirm the belief that the
destruction of the Bulwark was caus-
