lranporter and th'e were kept from burning nnd the fire from reaching the

stable by on stream of water, which was j turned rn a .-. ,-r.on as the lire had subsided en Uh for the firmen to work there. There was much ditticulty in getting water pr- 5v.re sulieier to carry the water to pl.iff where It w;s needed. The eity "hydrant." wen- .-o tar away that several hundred feet of hos-e hail to be laid from m.'.t of the hydrants, and had It not Leen for the wind the Ja.k of pre-ure might, and would in all probability, have been the tau of the total lestruetion of the large Van C.rnp storehouse. MAYOR TA KIART THERE. This lack of water pre?.ure was tht subject of murh comment by Mayor Taggart. who was early on the scene and In and out with the firemen. He was more fortunate than they, and althouzh he as-i3t-d in pulling hose and other things, his white I'.anncl cat wa. not soiled, or at Iea?t. not enough to be noticeable. Standing within ten feet of the bridge company, building and on a. tieio track was a carload of oil and turpentine. For a long time nrerr.cn and others worked alongside the ear ignorant of its contents and the dancer they were In, for the car became highly heated and at one time It was necessary to turn a stream of water upon it. Th' oils belonged to the railway company, ami when some of the men attached to the painting gang came up they advised the men working near there to get away. The brake was loos med and the car was pushed down the track away from the tire. The fact that the car contained oil fast reached all of the people in the crowd on that side of the burning buildings, and there v.-as concerted acilon in retiring a considerable distance. J. D. AUA MS OTII'IEI). lie Know Nothing of Fire tntll Informed liy the Journal. J. IX Adams, proprietor and sole owner of the Indianapolis bridge and iron works, when called by telephone at 1 o'clock this morning, had not been notified of the lire, although the tirst alarm had been turned In ttn hour before, and he was greatly shocked. At that time he said he was unable to give an accurate estimate of his los.', but placed It anywhere between $r.0 0 and ?-"om He said he always tried to keep his plant covered with Insurance, but could not name the amount now in force. The plant consisted of three large oneEtory buildings, covering a space of about 200 by 120 feet. One of the buildings was used for the manufacture of bridge structure and contained much machinery, drills, punches, two engines and a dynamo, that furnished power for the entire plant. Another building was devoted to the manufacture of road machines for grading and craping roads, that were invented by Mr. Adams, and a heavy stock of made-up road machines and others partly built was lost. The third building was used as a storehouse for road machines and other manufactured products, and a heavy loss was sustained in this department. Mr. Adams said that one of the heaviest losses would be the loss of patterns for th? road machines. He says these were undoubtedly destroyed and that their loss will be a serious detriment to readjusting the business. Besides the actual financial loss suffered Mr. Adams said he had about one hundred orders for road machines that ought to be 1111 ed as fast as he could make them. He said he would not likely lose these orders, AS he might have the machines made elsewhere. The plant has been delayed In its output for some time on account of lack of material and recently a number of men had to be laid off on that account. About twenty men were still working in the plant and It was expected that those who had been laid off would be put back to woik soon when material arrived. The plant was established about four years ago, Mr. Adams moving from a location on Capitol avenue. In order that he might increase the capacity and have more room. The buildings were all frame and are not a serious loss, Mr. Adams siys, but the machinery ruined Is expensive. The only property that escaped damage by the fire was the iron, pipes and cylinders In the yard around the plant. 1 HAMv VAX CAM1 TALKS. lie Estiiunte the Loss to IIulldiiiK nnd machinery at if:MKR. Frank Van Camp, president of the Van Camp Packing Company, did not arrive at the scene of the fire until nearly 1 o'.ciock this morning. When seen by a Journal reporter, at about 1:10, Mr. Van Camp said it was impossible to make an estimate of the loss, because lie bad not had an opportunity of investigating the amount of damage. He said if the brick building were not damaged to any great extent the aggregate loss on the frame building, machinery and block would reach at least $30.000. The frame building, which was burned to the ground, was HO) feet long, and the first section of it was erected in 1VC. Additions were constructed to this building nearly MORE HOT WEATHER.

every year to provide room for the increasing business. "The frame building was ured for the manufacturing department," said Mr. Van Camp, "and up until July 3 we had a night and day force at work canning peas. Since that time our force has not been so large, owintr to the shortage of the bean crop, which we are now preparing for the canning department. We recently received a lot of new machinery, and this was placed in use this week. One of the soldering machines was used for the first time yesterday afternoon, and it is now a total wreck. "The main building, which is a btick structure, will not be damaged to ary great extent, I believe. Jn this building we employ 15o persons preparing o'r pork and be ir.s. soups and catsup. Th- boiler room, stationed at the southwest end of the buiiüing, is slightly damaged, büt if the boiler can be used to-dr, ihc v;rk in the brick budding will not be deiiy.d. in the bilck building we have an a;;t?ate aluc ot il'23,f'f. most of which is in stock. We have over j:jX of unfilled orders in our sale. If it is necessary we can increase the fcrce at our Ploomingdale factors and not delay the work of tilling these orders to any great extent." Mr. Van Camp said he did not know how much insurance he carried on the frame building and Its contents without referring to the policies locked in the safe. He said, however, that the Insurance on the building was about and a like amount on the machinery. The stock is Insured, he sail, for aoout two or tnree thousand do'.iars. He said the work of reconstructing the but ned building will begin this morning, if possible. rim: iciDi:vrs.

All Kind nnd Condition of People Drawn to the Scene. Pesides the hundreds of people that walked or ran to the lire many persons out driving turned their horses toward the end of Kentucky avenue when they saw the (lames leaping up against the sky. Women stood in the front yards of the house. on Kentucky avenue and watched the procession to the fire. "All kinds" and conditions of men." remarked one woman leaning on her fence. Some men engaged hacks to carry them to the fire, and other hackmen not engaged drove to the scene in the hope of catching fares back to the center of the city. A man selling wiener wurst stationed his cart at the corner of ' South street and Kentucky avenue and prepared to ofler his wares to the crowd as it tired of watching the tire and started home weary and hungry. The people packed on the two fides of the llaming ruins exposed to the open street found the flame. beautiful as they writhed through the tangle of machine! y and timbers. The heat was barely noticeable thirty feet away from the lire and there whs little smoke to ob.-truct the crowd's view or stifle it? breathing. From the seltlsh spectator's view point it was one of the most satisfactory flres that have occurred in the city for several years. Known Throughout Country. The Van Camp packing plant is one of the largest in the country and the products of the factory go into all parts of the country. The goods are largely advertised and the company is well known, not only in the United States, but in most of the foreign markets. Probable Origin of Fire. There was said to be no one about the plant of the bridge company, and no one seemed to know how the fire started. Some of the employes who were about there thought a gas tire had been left burning. Jerry Dunn' Hundn 11 urn eel. Jerry Dunn, one of the watchmen at Van Camp's, had his hand badly burned while closing the shutters to keep the tire out of the building ever which he had charge.

ALEXANDRIA, Ind., July 10. The Amalgamated Association of Iron. Tin and Steel Workers of the fifth district will hold a convention at the opera house to-morrow afternoon and evening. The afternoon sesson will be public. The meeting is called for the purpose of taking action on the strike, which alTects many of the gas belt mills. maw mm HNiNf; to work. Antlirneite Colliery Kmploye Not MandiiiK by the Firemen. V-.ILK ESPA RUE, Pa., July 19.-More mines were in operation and more coal was hoisted in the Wyoming valley to-day than any day since the stationary firemen's strike began. The Unite! Mint Workers, &s a body, seem anxious to get back to work, and how long they can be kept out by the executive heads Is problematical. The gains made by the e'ompanies to-day were as follows: The Susquehanna Coal Company, operating all the collieries at Nanticoke. had more men at work than any day thiJ v.ek, and their output of coal was larger. The firemen at the Avondale mine of the Lackiwanna company went back to their old posts, and work at the mine will be reFumed lo-moriow. No. S colliery of the Eriu company resumed work this morning. Two hundred men are employed there. The Pcttlbone mine of the Lackawanna company found It had enoviih hands to start up at noon, anil operations were resumed. No attempt, however, was made to resume work at any ot the mines of the Delaware & Hudson or the Lehigh and Wilkesbarre companies. In the face of this change in the situation the strikers are by no means discouraged. sTitiKi: i:.Ti:DnD. Machinist and Otbcr Resented the Importation ot Foreigner. R LAD I NO, Pa.. July 13 The strikers at the Philadelphia & Reading shops here added to their ranks In an unexpected manner to-day. Last night the company brought in thirty-two strangers to help man the boilermaklr.g and blacl:?mtthing departments of the locomotive shops, where 2T0 mechanics of those two classes have been on strike for three weeks. The recruits, mostly foreigners, were put to work to-day. A committee was sent by the strikers to the company's othce to have the stranger;; taken out. This demand was refused, and before 10 a. m. 173 molders. machinists an 1 others, many of whom do not belong to the union, walked out in a body. The forelgnt-rs were hooted, and were marched out of th shop to the'.r temporary quarters on the third floor of the plant. Here they occupy a room Ua) by feet in size, which will be fitted up for them. In a case In the building, it Is said, were stored forty-one Winchester ritles. which had been used fry the coal and iron police during the riots of 1577. These weapons, it is stated, wen taken fiom cases and stacked in the room occupied by the imported men. The strike has assumed a mere critical stage than ever before. The locomotive shop Is nowcrippled badly. Will Fuiploy onunloult. CINCINNATI. July D.-The machinist' strike having now practically been ended, except at the Laldlaw -Dunn-CJ ordon plant at Tweed lie. north of the city, the managers of that concern have d added to opn their plant and operate it with nonunion labor. They took vit about twenty-five men to-day and employed twenty-five deputies to give them protection. Their employeheld a meeting at Tweedale last night and decldeel to continue the strike for the present, though not by unanimous vote. A number of the striker declared they would return to work on Mondav if they did not receive strike benefits In full.

..Pullman .Winkfield This fie'd is remarkably well balanced, and bookmakers predict to-night that 5 to i will bu obtainable against any horse in the race. It is rather remarkable that the two star jockeys at the track. Rullmaa and. Wmkfield. are both too heavy f.r the horses they are scheduled to ride, but the owners of The Unknown and Star Clumber will let their animals carry overweicht in order to secure their services. Lullman today was un.Uie to rile lower than 109. but it is thought he will be able to come down to 107 to-moriow. If not lower. Wink field can ride at 1o or 103. Advance Guard is In grand condition, out it will take superb handling for this horse to win to-morrow's race at his disadvantage in the weights. Sidney Lucas will have the same boy who has piloted him to victory twice during the meeting and is regarded as dangerous, inasmuch as he is In far better snipe thin he was when he war- on the Eastern tracKS. It is believed that Robert Waddell. tht Derby winner. Is now handicapped where he will have a roval chance. The weather promises to be fine and the track fast. Blues Won the Isli; Handicap. NEW YORK.
