The National Saw Wdrks AlmostVEntlrplT Destroyed Br Fire Last Klgkf Flames Started In tli8 Engine Eo5mof Boyle'a Works. The Lost Eftimsted at Frta $150,000 Crerc4 Bj Iateraiee. ATM-Sr-oJock last night aa alarm rrona Bo was the forerunner of the almost complete detraction of th four -story brick building a th southeast corner of Sixth and Hoadly streets, occupied by the National flaw Company. The lose will reach from S12S.OWJ to S15O.0UU. fully covered by insurance.

The alaj: jn waa turned In by Prlvats Officer Uonnellr. The department wa quick to respond, and when Chief Archibald reached the scene he saw In an tnataat that a big conflagration waa threatened, lie at once sent In a ten-blow. thi ruau irauo kaptdxt. In the meantime the Barnes had made rapid progr.ee The frame building' In which they had started was used as the engine and boiler room of the Boyle tone-yards. The hungry element soon devoured tbU place and communicated to the south end of the National Saw Company's building.

It waa la that portion of the building that the polishing process takes place, and there were stored quantities of saw handles. They are made out of cherry and apple tree lumber, which Is dry and highly Inflammable. This furnished excellent food for the flames, and soon that portion of the hulldlng waa a mass of seething Are. Two minutes after the second relay of engines had reactwd the scene, in response to the ten-bkow, havlf a dozen steady streams of water were directed against the building. The department was able to reach ths Are from three aides, and waa conseqaently able to good work.

For a time the efforts the laddies seemed to have no effect. The Are made rapid progress until the entice Interior mum a hum of flames, which MJuxed forth from every window. STkl'OOLga TO SAVE FBOrEBTT. The firemen saw" tliat this building waa doomed, and devoted their efforts toward saving the two-otory addltioo on West rilxlh street, in this they were partly aue--crasruL At 11 o'clock the roof of the main Structure fell In. In Its descent It carried "with It the' three floors, leaving nothing but the skeleton wttlls, but poorly hid in sea of Ore within.

Five minutes later a huge section of -the southeast wall swayed for an Instant and mrn fell outward, scattering In fragments evil over Hoail street. The Aremm who were directing One streams at that point ex-Vetted the colUixw. and consequently no one was Injur. The falling wall carried with it telephone, electric light and teie-" ''graph wires. r'or a mummt there was a lively ermra-ing of people to get out of the way of the wires up and down, which sputtered mid tossed the deadly electric fluid.

This accident rendered tnat portion of the street tugnly dangerous, and a large force of uiicemen. In charge wf lieutenant brans' an. proceeded to clear the street-of the jieuple. At ni I.I night the Are was practically under control. bt-n Officers Roach.

Grannan and Stevens left the box after the alarm had been turned in by rT.vale Olftcer Donnelly, they liurrleil back to the pluce where they had seen the tire. The stable faces on Carlisle avenue. The omcera burst open the door and rescued several mules, which would otherwise have perished In the flames. The C. H.

and L. lJepc. located right across toe street from the building which was burned. At the time a strong east wind was blowing, and there waa, considerable danger of the depot catching fire from the (li-iwe shower of sparks which rained upon the roof. A numler of employee were stationed on the roof with buckets of water to quench any Incipient blase.

Fortunately the wind veered after a time, and the danger was thus obviated. A BIO COMCBSN. The National Saw Company succeeded tVocdrough at Mcpharlln in the early part of IsvaJ. A combination was formed with Wheeler, Madden at Mlddletown, N. and the Kunhager Steel Works at the ame place.

Meeting the bfbsosi Hosts To-Xlght4 Te Poraa Bisnesallln Oab. The wonderful growth of silver sentiment IB this locality has encouraged the friends of true bimetallism to organise a nonparti san silver club In this dty. A sneeti-ig will be held at the Oibaoa House to-night for that purpose. There are ssaay prominent Democrats and Republicans in this city who believe In the rehabilitation of silver aa a money metal, and they Intend to agitate the matter and have discissions ef the financial questions In order to enlighten the community on the great question of the boor. Within the past two months there has been a surprising change In public sentiment, not only all over the country, but la this city, la favor of the free and unlimited coinage of silver.

Among the leading ctthtena who have become free silverites are: E. W. Klttredge, the well-known attorney: Colonel J. Garrard. President of the Sons of the American Revolution: Thomas J.

MulvlhJIl. the undertaker; Win. J. O'Neill, of the Auditor's office: Dr. W.

R. Thrall, Btates Maranai; Burr 11 1 1 1 Yj 1 I u. a k.L facturers; Hon. Eugene L. Lewis, member capitalist: John Gallagher, of the Cin cinnati street naiiway company; narry Becker, manager of the Gibson House; Aaron A.

Hon. Wm. S. roes-beck. Gottlieb, cigar dealer, and more than KjO others of eoual Dromlneace.

It is Intended at the meeting to-night to organ ise a club with a full set or officers, it will be strictly nonpartisan. There Is a strong probability that a mass meeting will be held in the near future at Pike's Opera House or Music Hall, at which men of national prominence will appear and address the clllsens of Cincinnati. Mr. O. W.

Wlndhurst. whose office Is No. iluT In the Neave Building. Is the reorc- sentstlve of the National Bimetallic Leairue In this city, and any one who is for free silver should communicate with him. A great many of the Populists In Cincinnati are silver men.

but they want other reforms, and It Is not likely that they will join the league, becsuse its principles and purposes are not radical enough to suit the kleas of the leaders. All friends of be- meisHlsra are Invited to attend the meeting to-night. BEAUTIFUL Floral Tribute To Postmaster Brown From Friends and Postoffica Employes. A beautiful sight greeted the new Postmaster. Mr.

Kdgar Brown, as hs entered his private offk-e In the postofllce yester day morning. He beheld a perfect bower of flowers, which "made the air redolent with a sweet fragrance.

On the desk stood a floral piece on an easel, the center being a mass of yellow roses and a glass case containing a hugs bouquet of flowers, both being from Mr. Brown's associates In the law office of himself and Hon.

Howard Douglass. There were also several baskets filled with flowers. The most conspicuous iiece. however. waa a magntneent floral revolving chair, full slse.

in front of the desk. It was a pres ent from friends in ths postoflice. Yesterday's Enqimbsr stated this would be presented to Mr. Brown. It was composed of calla lilies, Marechal Kiel roses, pinks and maiaen-nair ferns, and was very artistically constructed.

All day visitors kept streaming In to congratulate Mr. Brown, and by the time he waa ready to leave the office In the evening he had shaken nan Is wira several hundred mends and promi nent citlaens. Cashier P. H. Hartman and Assistant Cashier Con J.
