ICE IN FLAMES.

MABTIN & SON LOSE HEAVILY BY FIEE.

Ignited bv a Tramp's Match—Damages Somebody Must Meet,

Yesterday evening at 6 lu the hands in Alfroy's heading factory happened to see that the straw which was iu the lot surrounding Martin & Son's ice houses was on fire. The four whi6tles were blown at once and while some of the men vainly tried to smother the blaze in the straw, others attaohed the heading factory hose to afire plug and ran the hose up to the ice house fenoe. The water plug was turned on but the wator would not oome as it had been turned off from that section of town for repairs at the Sherman House plug. The faotory whistles and those of the engines at the junotion then began to shriek and in short order a large crowd had assembled. The flames orawled swiftly from the south house, whioh took fire first, to the Becond house, and just before the fifteen foot stream of water was turned on by the fire company, the roof of the third fell in. Jim Kennedy had turned the water on three minutes before the arrival of the fire oompany, but for some reason the stream was insign:ficant for along time and it was only by the hardest kind of work that the walls of the north ice house were preserved. ,This house was full of ioe and some of it is saved. The fire company worked hard and with no water and a lame horse to contend against did remarkably welL The oomplaint that the horses were not run fast enough is absurd, for had they been put on their speed pulling 4,000 pounds they would have lasted for probably four squares and then had to be walkedThe loss is over $6,000 and if the ioe all melts as it is expeoted the loss will be even greater. The insurance is $4,000 $3,200 on the ioe and $80 on the building. The oompanies liable are the Lon don Globe, Fire Association, of Philadelphia, and the Firemen's Insurance

Company. There was considerably over GOO tons of ice in the houses yesterday and was keeping excellently. Mr Martin states that though there are now about 500 tons he very much doubts if it lasts four days as at least 1,000 barrels of water ran down through it and it is melting rapidly. When ice starts to melt it oa n't be stopped. The north shed, the walls of whioh still stand, ia being oovered and everything done to preserve as much as possible. There is no ioe aoroas the creek in the houses there and this is the only supply in the city. The wagons will run aa usual and ice will be brought from a distance as soon as possible although it will oost Mr. Martin cvor 810 a too to put it in the house.

There is one thing that is not to be doubted and that is that some one is liable for the water not being sufficient to put out the fire more promptly. Mr. Martin can and will sue Bome one for his damage whioh is not covered by insurance and it is more than likely that the insuranoe oompanies will also sue for damage.

The origin of the fire is hardly a question. A tramp was noticed by several people as hanging around the buildings all day and a small ohild, Graoe Jordon, saw him light hiB pipe and run when the match he dropped took fire in the hay. He was eeen also running away from the spot by Mrs. Mary Dudley, ooloredi and several others. Officer Grimes followed him as far as Garfield where the trail was lost. He was notioed running along the traok by various persons and several saw him cross the long tressle on the jump. The fire was probably not set intentionally but by oriminal negligence.

Mr. MoOonnell,superintendent of the water works, states that although the water was shut off at Garfield street the mains in the southeast end should have been full and for an emergency the water in the stondpipe stood at 90 lbs. pressure so that as soon as it was turned on at Garfield street the matters would be as usual. The water was turned on before the arrival of the fire oompany and he cannot explain the absence of the water from the mains, lis its absence there is proved by,the fact that it had to be forced from CMfield street where the shutoff was to tl^^Rteading.- factory plug before there nswy stream at all. He severely censored the oity for sellrenohea to open the ividual and says that "awfully the water *taken from the mains.
