BURNED NEAR OXFORD
e TIM n. valiant Destroyed
AT ssllevue. Fmemen Make
Heroic Fight.

Easton, Md, May 1O.-Fire de-
stroyed the large fertilizer plant,
lime kiln and oyster packing houses
of William H. Valiant at Bellevue,
opposite Oxford, this morning. The
fire started, it is believed. in the
large oyster house near the boiler.
At first the blaze seemed to amount
to but little and, bucket brigade
startep-t5 fight the flames before call
ing on Easton and Oxford for assist
ance.
The alarm reached Easton about
a quarter OF and brought out the
fire company, which made the IL
mile trip in 20 minutes. When the
firemen reached the scene the blaze
had practically destroyed three large
buildings and their contents. Inc
firemen, however. arrived in time to
save the canning house, storehouses
and gasoline house. More than five
hundred of gasoline was within rs
feet of the fire and the fremen fought
to keep the flames from the gasoline
and the orites,;;- lh'lilding ss
Men were stationed along the
roof with buckets to put out every
little blaze that sarted and in this
way it is believed an explosion was
prevented A gas engine in the lime
kiln exploded and tore a large hole
in brick wall adjoining. A cask
of oil also exploded. causing a LOUD
report, but did little damage.
Mr.. Villiant places his loss at
s25O,OOO, with very little insurance.
He said he never had so much fer
tilizer on hand during his entire busl-
ness career as he had when the fire
started, and the most of it was not
insured. Two large schooners were
at the wharf with new machinery.
| These were got out of danger with
difficulty.
After about four hours OF hard
fighting by the Easton Fire Depart
ment and the fire fighters from Ok
| ford the flames were under control
! Office furniture was saved.
Mr.. Valiant will start to rebuild
| as soon as possible, but in the mean
| time about two hundred employees
will be without work. This estab
lishment was one of the largest
| plants of its kind in the State, do
| ing a flourishing business in the oys
ter, crab and fish industry. and lime
| and fertilizer also.
