THE FIRE YESTERDAY
Early Morning Blaze Very De
structive But Controlled Well
By the Fire Department.
FAIRLY Q00D INSURANCE.
Was Carried by All Property Owaers Bat
Actaal Damages Are Hard to Esti
mateFirst Discovered by
Street Railway Eaglseer.
r There is very little to add this morn
ing to the hurried account of the fire
in the VonKampen block given in
these columns yesterday just after the
flames were gotten under control by
the hard work and clever manage
ment upon the part of the department
The origin of the fire is still a mys
tery, but it has been settled that the
explosion which caused so much
few minutes after the fire had started.
Assistant Engineer Fred Mintz at the
power house, adjoining, was the first
to discover the glare from over the
car shed. He .turned on. a : private
hose and had the flames almost under
control when the explosion occurred
and shot the flames all over the rear
of the stores in the VonKampen
block. It is Mr. Mintz's opinion that
the fire started in the back of Mr.
Fuch's store where whiskey waa
stored. About the time the explos
ion occurred, Police Sergeant C a
Burnett and Mr. William Harker
turned in an alarm from corner Front
and Orange street and policeman M.
Bo wen, on that beat and Mr. Joe
Warren set about to save persons
sleeping upstairs in the building
among whom were Mrs. Joseph Regis
ter and family and Mrs. Croom and
family.
The .department soon had six
streams upon the fire and engine
No. 1 at work on one of them. The
damage- to the Street Railway Com
pany will probably not exceed $750,
fully covered by insurance on the
entire plant, amounting to $26,000, in
companies represented by J. H. Boat
wright & Son. This damage was to
the water tank, in the rear of Har
din's Palace Pharmacy; three cars
that were slightly scorched; car shed,
tools, wagon, eta, that were in an im
provised shed next .to the rear of the-f
stores. .
The stock of groceries of Mr. J. W.
L Fuchs', one door removed from
corner of Front and Orange streets,
was very badly damaged, but the sa
loon, immediately on the corner,
escaped such severe loss. Mr. Fuchs
estimates his damage at about $3,000
to both, with an insurance of $3,975,
divided among agencies as follows:
J. VanB. Metta, $1,175; Walker Tay
lor, $1,000; Jno. J. Fowler, $800. Tbe
building in which these and another
vacant store were situated belonged
to Mr. O. F. VonKampen and was in
sured with J. VanB. Metts for $1,500
and with Willard & Giles for $1,000.
Mr. VonKampen says he is unable to
estimate his loss on either this or the
other building occupied in part by
Hardin's pharmacy.
The stock of drugs of Mr. J. EL
Hardin was insured for $6,200, in the
following agencies: J. H. Boatwright
& Son. $1,900; J. VanB. Metts, $1,900;
Willard & Giles, $1,250; Walker Tay
lor, $1150. Mr. Hardin says it will
take an inventory to determine the
amount of his damage, but he fears
that he is not fully protected by in-
su ranee. Un tnat building Mr. Von
Kampen had $5,000 insurance, with
W. W. Hodges, $1,000; J. -H. Boat
wright & Son, $2,000; Walker Tay
lor, $1,000; Willard & Giles, $1,000.
The damage to the household goods
of the persons living up-stairs over
the FucbV stores will likely approx
imate about $300, with no insurance.
Chief Schnibben, of the Fire De
partment, said last night after a more
thorough investigation that he was in.
clined to the idea that the explosion
was that of a tin keg partially filled
with gun powderand stored in the
of rear Mr. Fuchs' grocery store.
SUMMER EXCURSION FROM ATLANTA.

Messrs. H. E. Maddox, J. H. John
