might continue operation when the fire
was over.
Although the fire was spectacular,
sending great clouds Of smoke and
flames sixty feet in the air, the damage
was confined to one building of the
group occupied BY the plant, covering
several blocks along the wharf
The loss. which will probably run into
a quarter Of a million dollars. is mostly
Of expensive and intricate automatic
stoking machinery in the powerhouse,
feeding some forty furnaces.
The fire started at the top Of the
building, which is almost entirely taken
up by a chain Of steel hoppers which
feed the automatic stokers. The hop
pers hold about 1000 tons Of coal.
1t was the outside machinery and the
top of the building which suffered the
greatest damage.
The flames are believed TO have
started from an accumulation of coal
gas at the top of the building.
The powerhOuse itself is brick and
steel. and there was little beside the
timber in tho upper part Of the build
ing and the coal to feed tho flames.
About half an hour after the start Of
the fire the roof of the structure col
lapsed. The supports Of the hoppers
