Leas Fraskllae Livery Barn Damaged Over 13,000 Last Night but It was a Lai.ky Diaz Fully Insured. At eight oolook last eventog a general alarm on the fire bell oagsed the peopls within the sound to rush to the streets and they at once perceived that a dangerous fire was In located somewhere in the business center of the city as tbe black smoke rolled heavily to the sonth from the vicinity of Main and Mnloerry streets. A telephone message from LT A.

Franklla large three story livery barn a. tasted Just north of Main on Mnlberry street had called department Nj. one there to put out a fire. When the obemloal engine and hoae wagon arrived, tbe smoke wss rolling Irom the npper floors of the building In a frlghtfjl manner. Chief Snepp led his men In the front door ot the batidtng and to tbe rear part where the hay mow, containing a laigs quantity of hay aad straw, wae on fire.

In a very short time the firemen had aeoended to tbe mow aud had a stream ot water drenohiug the fire. In the meantime the No. two d-partment from Willard street had arrived and laid a Has of hose down tbe alley from Main street at the rear of the bonding. This stream was direoted -to tbe windows and other openings where tbe fire waa showing itself. By this time chief Bnepp discovered that ne bad a big job and bad hose laid to the building from every direction for nee In case the blase kept spreading.

While tbe work ot the firemen was highly oreditable nnder each circumstances, the fire wall In the otnler of the building la what prevented a frightful ooLflagratlon Tbe bnlidlng rune from tbe etreet to the alley In tbe rear. Tbe front half of It is thfee stories high. The upper floor Is used as a lodge room, the seoond flror as a large dano. Ing ball, end the lower floor as the office and part of the building where vehlolee are kept that belong to tne oity customers whose horses board In the barn. Tbe rear part la two etorlea high and this ie need Fy Mr.

Franklin aebls livery department. Tbe forty head of horeee are kept npon the gronnd floor end tbe seoond story is partitioned off, one half being need as a bay mow and In the other half tbe vebioles are kept. A heavy fifteen Inch brick wall separates tbe three story part from the rear, the only opening above being a large galvanised Iron door at the rear ot tbe hay mow. This wae oloeed and the blaseoonld only leap against the wall. The wind wae In the right dlreotion to carry the fire through the entire structure had this wall not Interfered.

Mr. Franklin believes the fire started in a box stall below or in tne hay mow. Node Khookey employed In the barn waa fiist to dlsoover It and told the proprietor. The work of leading the horsee ont was qOlok-ly the firemen spent almost the remainder of the night before the fir was entirely extinguished in the hsy. Nearly the entire rear part of the building was gutted and Mr.

Franklin plaoes his loss at from $5,000 to $7,000 oovered with $8 0Q0 In snranoe. Two cabs, a drag, one carriage, i snrrey, eight sleighs, two phaetons, and seven haggles were burned with the twenty tons of hsy. Bat two or three vshioles were saved and they chanoed to be in another part ot the barn. Mr. Franklin has $4 000 insurance on tha building and a like amount upon the stock, but the stock Insurance is partially on the horses, which were saved, and he will be loeer a few hundred dollars on hls ehloles.

Tbe body was held fast by a half Inch gas pipe wblon paralleled the shaft about two feet away, and this hadt) be cat In several places before themtngled remains coaid be taken down.

However, toe pro-lessor said that in consideration of Mnnolea phenomenal growth daring the past few year, the sohool board had found it diffi.aU to provide room with the funds on haBd for ail the legal popils. This seem-ed to settle the leatlon of getting a room In the Avondale sohool build-ing. A general report of the snlioltora and other showed that there was boat 3b0 In the general treasury and tue kindergarten committee was directed to look around for a suitable room preparatory to opening a kindergarten In that suburb, whioh shall hold at least three months this sohool term.
