Cole'a Machine Btaopa and Fonts Srv Deotrovecl Heavi L,os En tailed without Much Insurance - Valuable Patterns Aiheville's fire department spent two hours battling with a stubborn blaze early this morning and saved consider able property by its efficient work. Even with this protection, however, there was a disastrous fire with a loss of upwards of $5,000. J. B.Cole is the loser, the fire having destroyed his foundry and ma chine shops on Buttrick street. The fire was the first serious one Ashe ville has had for months. It must have started about one o'clock, aud suspicions are entertained by Mr. Cole and others that an incendiary is responsible. It was about 1:30 when W, Piper, a ma chinist in the shop, who lives next door, beard a noise caused by the falling ol burning timbers and when he rushed to his window the entire western end of the foundry was in flames. Mr. Piper says the fire must have been burning for some iime occause 01 the headway it bad gaineu. By the time an alarm could be turned In and the fire companies turn out the loundry was a mass of flames and noth ing could be done toward saving it. The lounary was one story high, 30x60 feet in size, and sheathed with corrugated iron. Adjoining it was themachineshop, 30x65, with an extension 30 feet square. These caught also, and it was only by hard work on the part of the firemen that tbey were kept from being totally destroyed. The roof of the main shop is gone, out me annex is practically whole. In the foundry, and destroyed with it, were many valuable patterns used in molding. Mr. Cole says he could not replace these for less than $3,000. The building cost $500, and withthc destruc tion of molding frames and other equip ment inside the loss on this is brought up to about $3,800. The machine shon cummnca an engiue mm machinery val- uca at $d,uou, out the work ot tbe fire men kept the damage on this equipment down to about $000, with a loss of 5UU on the building. All told tbe loss IS about $4,900 and t lie insurance in onlv a trifle,amouiitingto$L'.r)0on each build ing. It was placed with L. A. Farinholt. The theory of incendiarism was ooenlv expressed alter the fire. There was fire in the foundry yesterday for raoldine. but this was carefully put out after the nay s work wns over and Mr. Cole, and Deputy Sheriff Greenlee sav tbcv uassed the foundry at 11:30 and all was well.
