Aug. 2b.—Fire, which began iuj
the storeroom of the shops of the

here at 2 ooLock this morning
(Tuesday,) did damage, which h>-

At 3 ochick t'l.c t'ii'c is still
burning.
The fLan.es sipreuwl from the

er and alii efforts to bring them
Under control proved unavailing.
Among the property destroyed
were five locomotives and a bag-1
gage car in the shops for repairs.
AIll records of the mechanical
department were in the store
room and were lost. About 2(.M)
men were employed in that part
of the shops destroyed.
The loss is estimated us fol-
lows :
Back shops, including machine j
shop, boiler shop, blacksmith
shop ami tin and copper shop,|
$200,000. j
Store room and materials $75,-
000.
Rolling stock, including loco-
motives and baggage cars, $125,-
000.
Tine round lwniwc and ear shops
are not damaged ami probably
wiM escape as they are a consid-
erable distance from the others.
The electric power plant which
supplies lights and power for the
entire railroad plant here, at 3
odloek was believed to be in
danger.
