(Special to The TlnieKi Newbern, Nov. 6 One hundred and fifty men, including machinists, carpenters, blacksmiths, painters, and other mechanics, stand idle in New Hern today, due to the complete destruction of the Norfolk & South ern Railroad shops early this morn-, ing. The fire was the greatest in vol ume and entailing the greatest loss the city has experienced in the last half century. The fire was discov ered ,at 2:30 a. m., in the stationery fire-room of the works, and while the department responded promptly it never abated till the shops, except the paint shop and store-room, was wiped out. The loss consists of the round-house, machine shops, black smith shops, foundry and planing mill, which is estimated to entail a loss ot $200,000 deducting the insur ance. Added to this is the total loss of two locomotives Nos.' 114 and 41, two couches, Nos. 207 and 214; two box cars and two dining cars, the lat ter just completed, to be used on the Norfolk branch and serve passengers in crossing Albemarle sound when the bridge Is completed. The department, was handicapped, owing to the fire being inside of brick walls, and comparatively light pres sure, and hose bursting several times. Besides the loss to the railroad was the tools of the mechanics, which is said will reach $5,000. many of whom feel this more than the loss of em ployment., while the business inter ests of New Bern will have deducted from their sales the greater part of about $8,000 per month.
