A destructive Hre occurred last evening In tbe building at the corner el Urant and Christian street, which la owned by Jeseph H. Huber and used as a foundry, machine shop, tic. The building la or brick and the front Is two stories blgb, with a Ien. This waa tbe machine ahep. The rear part waa the foundry and was one story with cupola. The whole et the building waa occupied by Mr. Huber, with tbe exception or tbe second fleer In which David H. Kulp bad a pattern-making establishment About & o'clock Turnkey Geerge Penlz was sitting In tbe station beuse, which Is but a short distance from Mr. Huber's build Ing, talking with some friends when he saw flames Issuing Irem tbe second story of tbe machine shop. He quickly (ran Id tbe cor ner or East King and Duke streets and and sounded an alarm from box IS. Upen returning te tbe lire he and laaae Bender forced open tbe front deer and carried out Mr. Huber's desk contain Ing valuable papers, Ac At that time the second story of the building was In flames. Tbe firemen were rather alew In getting te the tire as tbs streets were very ley and It was almost Impossible te proceed much faster than a walk with the apparatus. When tbey did get te work they did well, and In a short tlme tbe flames were extinguished. I.T A CLOSbLV BUlt.l SECtlO.N. The building In which the lire took place Is situated In that part of the city which Is very closely built, and had there been a wind great damage would have resulted. Water waa freely thrown upon surrounding build ings and some were damaged. At the corner of these streets there are mere telephone, tele graph and electrle light wires than at any point tn tbe city, and It waa feared that some of these would be burned off or otherwise damaged, but such waa net the case. The large electric light wires run close te the building and many persona In the large crowd left when tbey saw that the tire waa close te them. They thought that some acci dent might result Had the Hre been a very large one the wires might bave Impeded Ibe progress or the firemen. rilE CO.NTL.NtS Thesocend story, In which the fire started, Is one large room,and It was occupied entirely by Mr. Kulp. Nearly everything In this room was either entirely destroyed by Are or badly damaged. This Included a large number or patterns of the most valuable kinds, tools aud machinery such as lathee, saws, Ac, Mr. Kulp estimates hla lese at about (2,000, and he baa an Insurance of but J 150, which la with H. K. Breneman In the Hamburg-Bremen company. William J. Mingle, who Is superintendent for Mr. Kulp, Is also a heavy loser. Besides tbe dam age te bis tools, be loses a number of patterns, Including these of a ventilating fan, which alone were worth about fOQO. His Insurance is t250 only, and it la alae In the Hamburg-Bremen company. Frank Zecher, who is tn tbe employ el Mr. Kulp, loses about (40 worth or tools, and Jacob Kll heller's less from the same source will be about (20, Yesterday a large let or valuable pat terns were received from Lebanon, and Mr. Kulp bad an Idea et storing them, but finally concluded te take them te the werka el tbe Lancaster Manufacturing company. The rea son that tbe Insurance en Mr. Kulp'a stock was se small Is that it is difllcult te obtain In surance en patterns, which are constantly being moved around. Mil. HUBER'S LOSS. The less te Mr. Hueer will also be large. Tbe building Is ruined en tbe second story. The ceiling and fleer are burned through, the v ladew Iranies are destroyed, and the 11 ight or stairs from the second story te the loll is burned entirely oil. In this left were a large let of patterns owned by Mr, Huber aud tbey were either destroyed or damaged. Tbe (lames spread le the foundry and the reef of It, en the Inside, togethor with the cupola, was badly burned. The machinery, belting, Ac, in the Bhep en tbe llrst Meer, suffered ale Irem tire and wa'er. Mr. Huber's building, machinery, stock, A'c., are Insured with Jeremiah Rife ter (3,000, which is divided equally betweeu the Fhicnlx company, el New Yerk, and the Sprlngtleld, Massachusetts. Hew the lire originated no one Is able le tell exactly. Ills likely, however, that It star ted from n spark from the boiler, aa the foundry has net been in use all winter, and no steve was used in tbe apartment of Mr. Kulp. This boiler stands In the southern etid of the foundry, almost against tbe wall of the maohlne shop and ne r the corner wbore the lire started. There was some complaint last ulght that the lire plugs were frozen, but such wan net the case. Tbe plugs in use vv ere of the new pattern vv hlch de net freeze. The firemen had aome dlfnculty in opening tbe ene at Orange and Christian atieet and thla led te the report that il was frozen. Superintendent Ilalbach waa sect for and he easily opened the plug when water flowed freely. The Situation at Iert llcpe.ll.
