The Amounts el Insurance Held.
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.

The Columbia A Pert Deposit ra'lread
