Big Grain Elevator
Burns in Nashville

NASHVILLE, Tenn, Nov. 49,
The Tennessee Hermitage grain ele-
vator, office building and power
house, together with the contents,
SOC, 900 bushels of corn, oats and
wheat, the largest elevator in the
Nashville district, was totally de-
stroyed by fire late Sunday, with a
loss estimated at $1,000,000 by
Charles d. Jones & Co., grain broker
age firm, owners of the structure.
The elevator, which IS located on the
Tennessee Central railroad, north of
the city, was filled with grain at the
time.
The cause of the fire is believed
to have been spontaneous combus-
ton. The same elevator caught fire
last Thursday night, the blaze being
caused by combustion in the oat-dry-
er room, but this first blaze was
quickly controlled. Sundays blaze
proved impossible to control, the fire
department being unable to secure
sufficient water as the structure was
located outside the city limits and
the private water suppl proved in.
