Stewart's Packing House Burned, ‘With a Loss of $100,000. THE BLUFFS’ BIGGEST BLAZE. A Test Oase of Libel—The Pablic Schools--The New Baptist Chapel—General and Personal, Roast Pork. One of the most destructive fires which which ever visited Council Bluffs was that of yesterday morning, by which Stowart's packing house was entirely destroyed The flames were discovered about 5 o'clock, when the watchman, J. H. Dalton, was mak- ng his last round of the building. As he entered the south end of the main building, he was ulmost suffocated by the dense smoke which was rolling from the structure. The fierce crackling of - the flames told him thata serious contlagration was imminent, and he rushed to the tele- phone and gave the alarm. He then tried to rouse Mr. Stowart, but befote he could ring him up the smoke and heat drove him away from the telephone, and he hurried outside. So rapidly aid the flames spread that he experieuced consider- able dificulty in making his escape, He is firmly of the opinion that had he not been so well acquainted with the interior of the building, knowing every avenue of escape, hie never would have got out alive. The department responded to the call in good time but when the first apparatus reached the ground, the fire was breaking through several windows of the east end of the building and in less than ten minutes the entire structure was in flames. The fironien extended three lines of nose t0 the nearest hydrant and atlempted to reach the flames from the roof. The build: ing was burning 8o rapidly that they were ordered down, lest some accident might take place. In less than two minutes after the time the last fireman had descended to the ground the entire roof fell with a sturtling crash, sending up an immense volume of sparks and dense clouds of black snioke. The water supply wus defective when the first coupling Was made, as there was scarce- ly any pressure whatever. Chief Walters called from the nearest fire alarm box for additional pressure, but the call was not i satisfactorily responded to. A man on horseback was dispatehed to the residence of Chief Engincer Birkinbine, of the water works company, to ascertain the cause of the failure, That ofiicial hustened to the police station, where the pressure valves are located, and found that fuli pres- surc had not been turned on. This disus trous mistake wus instantly remedied, and a pressure of 120 pounds was raised. Much valuable time, however, had been lost in this manner, the while the fiery ele- ment was fast devouring the fated structure. When sufiicient fire pressure finally secured, it was of no avail whatever, and abouv all the firemen_ could do was to watch the building burn, and protect the outbuild- ings and surrounding property. This was successfully done, and the flamos were con- flued to the packing house proper and the immediate additions. The heat was so iutense that. 1t was almost impossible to gev nearer than 100 feet from the building. The firemen had their faces und hands blistered, and their eycbrows, lashes and mustaches singed. They cortinued their labors until noon, although the fire was practically over before 7 continued o bluze for se immense amunt of pork in thestorero all on fire and_cooking uutil late in tho day. The sight presented by the burning build- ing was a grand one, and illustrated the in- satiable ferocity of the devouring element when once beyond alt control. Great clouds of pitchy black smokerolled heavily upward, laden with the sickening oder of burning meat, and spreading all over the city. It ‘was d sight, however, which few Who wit- nessed it will care to see repeated. The structure was owned by John T. and Joseph L. Stewart. The main building was erected in 1862, Since that time & number of additions have been made. The house had a capacity of_about two thousar.d hogs & day. For the past throe years, however, iv has not been run toits full capacity, the daily killing, when carried on, being about one thousand hogs. The place has not been_in operation since January last, although about a dozen men were employed in looking after the pork and making shipments. During the season from 100 to 250 men were employed, and the pay- voll was nearly £500 per day. The house had grown 10 be one of the principal enterprises of thecity, and disbursed an immense amount of wages among the laboring classes, Mr. J, T. Stewart was seen regarding the loss and insurance, but could make no_defi- nite statement concerning them, and refused to talk until he could give the exhct_figures. It has since been developed thut there were about one million pounds of pork in the store room, and that it was totally destroyed, either by fire or smoke. The supply of lard on hand was very swail, although the lard room was across the alley and was not de- stroyed. The insuranceon the establishment was nearly all placed through the agency of Lutz, Reed & Co., of the Bluffs, and is mn the most substantial companies of the coun- try. Mr, Stewart has been a_careful business man for over a quarter of a century, and al- ways made 1t o point to insure all ‘property for as nearits full value as possible. The insurance of the packing house through the agency above mentioned, amounts to $35,200, and therc is & small amount additional through outside agencies. The totalisa little over $30,000, and it is stated that this amount will fally cover all losses. The insurance is said to fully cover all loss, and amouuts to over $100,000. It is nearly all placed through the agency of Lutz, Reed & Co., who have policies on the stock, buildings and machinery in twenty- seven different companies. The following 18 tho list of companies, and the exact amounts which they hold on the property : Springtield Fire aud Marine, $9,000; Insur- ance Company of North America, ' $,000; Penusylvania Fire, Philadelphia, $3,0005 Niagara Fire, $7,600; Northern, of London, ,500; City of London, $,500; Humburg: Bremen, $5,000; American Fire, Philadel- phin, $5,000% California, of California, $500; Oakland Home, $5,000; Pheenix, of London, $2,500; Concordis, of Milwaukee, 82,500 Phanix, of Hartford, 8,000; Imperial, London, §,250; Rireman’s Fund, Californa, $2,500; German, Peoria, $2,500; Continental, New York, £1,500; Guardian, London, §2,500} Amwerican,’ New 'Jersey, $,500; Citizens’, New York, §2,500; Providence, Washington, £2.500; Morchants', Newark, $2,500; Mil® waukee Mechanics, $2,500; London Assur- ance, $2,600; Phenix, New York, §3,500; Fire Association, Philadelphia, £2,500; Long ,400; Queen, Liverpool, #3,000; total, 03,450 Of the above amount, $51,500 is on the stock, $28,000 on buildings, and $13,950 on machinery. . The amount vlaced in other companies will not exceed $10,000, but all swell the amount to over $100,000. ‘The chimneys, which were all that was left standing, were pulled down by the fire department, yesterday afternoon, as they threatened to fall, and it was desired to avoid any casualty in connection with the great conflagration. It is now thought that the great amount of meat in the store room will not be a total loss, although it will be more or less damaged, The exact amount of the loss will uot be known for several days, Sowe of the fircmen who cleared away a part of the debris, and examined the immense tiers of pork packed in the store room of the burned packing house, stated, last night, that only the outside pieces are damaged, and that the meat on the inside is white and apparently in nearly as good condition as ever, It is predicted that the greater part of it can be marketed. If this is true, the loss will be very materially less than was at first anticipated, Anp investigation of the facts concerning the lack of water pressure relieves the water works company of any blame in the matter, aud establishes beyond the shadow of a doubt the fact that ample pressure could have been had immediately, could the valve at the upper reservoir have been closed by the night jailor at the police station. Cards showing the number and location of the fire alarm boxes are posted conspicuously at the police station, water works pumping station, and all the fire housos. These numbers aré used in red and black. According o the rules governlng the waterworks company, whenever an alarm 18 turned in from a box, the number of which is painted in red, full fire pressure is At once turved on, as these boxes are located in the upper vortien of the city. 1f, however, full pressure is desired from one of the other boxes a call of 121 is turned in from the nearest alarm box, the call being struck on the big alarm bell on the central fire sta- tion. This is the signul which notifies the jailor on duty to turn the wheel that closes the valve opening from the wains into the upper reservoir, and the pumps atthe pamping station are to be started at full speed, thereby throwing the full pumping force directly on the mains, When Chief Walters turned in his call of 1:2-1 from box 42 yesterday morning, the en- gineer at the pumping station immediately started tho pumps, but the valve was not closed, and a stroam of water three feet in diameter poured through the mains into the upper reservoir with sucn force as to rise eight feet ubove the surface of the water in_ the reservoir. This force should have been exerted on the mains, but was wasted. The chief of tho fire department was surprised when no re- sponse came to his call, and called eight times for pressure, The engineer looked at his pressure guage and was amazed to find only 100 pounds registered to the square inch. He telephoned Chief Engineer Birkin- bine that his pumps were doing their utmost, and he could only qbtain 100 pounds pres- sure. As above stated, Mr. Birkin- bine soon found the cause of the trouble, and as soon as the valve was closed the guage registered a pressure of 160 pounds. The change was immediately noticed at the fire. Four sections of hose were bursted, unable to withstand the enormous strain. It required three men 1w nhold a pipe. and a stream was thrown entirely over the long building. Up town the great pressure did additional mischicf. The valves of the ele~ vator 1n the government building wero burst open, aud the elevator could not be run during the day. Water closets in various buildings were broken, and all weak poiuts along the mains gave evidence of the pressure thrown upon hem, Such was the pressure that should havo been vbtained as soon as the call was sent m. ‘The responsibilty seems to rest with Deputy Marshal John Barhyte, who was jailor at the v 1t is claimed thut he was b, but he denies this, and usserts that he was awaiting the call' for pressure, buu d tell nothing from the alarm The tape registers at all the houses show that eight calls for pressure were tnrned in, but the fact remains that the call wus not re- sponded to until Mr, Birkinbine turned it on. It is hardly possible that even a heavy pressure at the outset wonld have been of any avail, as the grease saturated structure ignited like a tinderbox; stili the proper pro- tection of other property demands that pre- cautions be immediately taken to insure against a repetition of such a gross blunder or misunderstanding in the future. It is Ragan, Not Pagan, Also Iroland, Not Holland. i e A Chat About Schools, “No sir, there will be no mew school building erected in the western part of the city this year,” said a membver of the board of education yesterday in respouse to a query of Tue ““You see, the building is not needed, and the scheme was gotten up by real estate men simply to boom property on the bottoms. The school district is deeply in debt, still T would not hesitate for @ moment on thut score, if I thought tho building was really nceded. I tell you that the word ‘education’ has a broad meaning 1t sounds well, and when any move is mad for the cause of education it is gencrally supposed that it must be all right. The same word covers up a lov of zrand steals howeve 3 nd many a fat cantract has been let. If the board wants to be liberal with the money of the district, there is an opportunity to expend it 1 a channel where it is deserved. The te: 3 of the city aro wretchedly compensated for their services, and it iS a shame that a radical change is not made in this respect. There should be a liberal advance in all grades, and then the city might reasonably expect to retaim the services of good teachers, in- stead of seeing them secured by other cities. A8 it 15 n0w, our best teachers are constantly being taken away from us by Omaha, and the onlyreason that they leave is becausé they are paid o respectable salary on the other side of the ri When [ was first inducted into office I requested the secretary to fur- nishme with a copy of the pay roll, and 1 was astounded when I examined it. It may seem a little strange, butit is an actual tact that the janitor of the Atkins building re- ceives §15 a month more than the principal of the high school. 'This is bbviously not as it should be, but is about on a par with the other cases existing under the present sched- ule of prices. “A gentleman came to me a few days ago and wanted to get his son a position us as- sistant teacher in our high school. The young man has just graduated from one of our leading colleges with the highest honors, and is doubtless well qualified for the po When I told the father the salary th son would recieve if hesccured the position, 5 & month, he laughed at the 1dea, and said that his son could do much better than that in the mercantile line. The only proof needed that our rics are 100 low is furnished by comparison with other cities, and I propose to do all 1 can to inaugurate a change. Annther thing that is wrong is the system of electing teachers. This matter was called to my atteution a year ago, when Tur Brp brought it to public notice. The idea of parcelling out the appointments, a certain number to each member of the board is en- tirely wrong, and but for its injurious re- sults would be ridiculous. Teachers should be elected with regard o their qualifications, and not ou account of personal preferenc I believe that the members of the should visit all of the schools and become partially acquainted with the teachers and their work in the school rooms. The knowl- edge thus obtained, coupled with the sug- gestions that the city superintendent should be able to furnish, would be the proper basis on which to elect the teachers for the ensu- ing year. This has beep one of the gravest mistakes made by the board in years past, and I hope that Tue Bee will continue to ad- vocate o change. I shall do what I can to secure the adoption of a different system in that direction, and I am positive that my course will be approved by everybody, un- less, perchance, it may bd a few disappointed favorites.”” .
