TIN PLATC MILL BURNED. UMlruetlon bv Fir* of ib» Xlnnlu* Department of the MwIrlnitMW Tin Plate Mill In St. Louis. Entailing * Lom of •79.000 and Throwing 350 Ven and Boys Out of Work—The Building «* bo Replaced at OuCf- « St. Lovis, July 6.—The American tinplate industry carried on at Second and Destrahan streets under the management of W. F. Niedringbaus is eompeled to suspend busineso for two months or more in consequence of a fire at 3 a. m. that destroyed the large tin structure, wrecked the machinery ond laid waste about $40,000 worth of stock,' most of which was ready for shipment. The structure visited by fire is the otle known as the tlnnely, in which the mucli-talked-of tin-plate industry is carried on. It adjoins the rolling-mill on the east, having a front of SO feet on Destrahan street and a depth of 130 feet running north and south. The inside was constructed of wooden beams,covered on the outer surface with corrugated iron. In this structure over 100 men were employed spreading the tin plate over the surface of the sheet iron as it comes from the rolling mill. To, do this it becomes necessary to spread grease over the sheet iron surface, to prepare the way for the application of the tin. Half a dozen large vessels or grease-pots are used to boil this grease, being situated in about the center of the building. It is customary in this department to have part of the force get down before daylight to prepare the fires and have these pots boiling before the regular work of the day begins. As the place was shut down since 5 o'clock Saturday evening it was intended to have the force down early this morning to make up for lost time. Having orders to this effect two of the employes visited the place about midnight to start the fires and prepare for to-day's work. They had the fires started and the pot boiling by 2 o'clock when. Officer Stack, of the Fourth district. passed there. About fifty minutes later he heard erics of fire and saw the two men running toward the fire alarm box. One of the pots had boiled over and ignited from the heat of the fires. Soon all the pots began to blaze, bud before the ifire-fighting corps, called out by two successive alarms, reached the place H was enveloped in flames. . The oil had spread all over the floors, carrying the bine flames with it to every corner of the structure. The building was doomed, and was left to the mercy of the flames, while the firemen- directed their energy to keeping the flames within the one structure and saving adjoiuing property. The fire burned for nearly three hours. The corrugated covering v all torn away by Bre anil th wooden beams, horned fromjj rnent, fell in hcaps^#n W' making a complete wVeeE In the north end of theti stored about $35,000 worfi ready for shipment. This and wedged together so thaf^ a total loss. 3 Mr. F. \Y. Neidringhaus, manager the place, is in Montana. of brothers was seea.-httveever, and that the less would entail a total loss about $65,000 or $70,000. This, however, is not a marker to er hisses. It was intended to have the place in such running order by August 1 as to employ 1,500 men and do the largest business of the kind in the world. The building is only six months old, and the manufacture of tin-plate is about six weeks younger. Nearly 850 men will be thrown on work by the firm for at least t months. Mr. Niedringhaus says, how ever, that they, will go to work on th* wreck at once.
