The damage will probably amount to several hundred dollars which is fully covered by insurance in three companies, but as Mr. Wagner was absent from the store, the News reporter could not get the names of the companies.


The fire might have been a very disastrous one, as the drug store is in the heart of the business center of the city, and had not the department, by their efficient work, so early mastered the flames, the stock and building would have been more seriously injured, and the flames might have spread to the adjoining store rooms.


A heavy rain was descending at the time of the fire, and this with the bursting of the hose in several places, gave the crowd who assembled on the street a bad ducking.


The heavy smoke that issued from the second-story windows caused many to think that the fire located there, but this came up from the cellar through the elevator and filled the room.


The fearless firemen descended into the cellar and attacked the flames at the right place to prevent them from spreading. To Chief Hilbrecht and his able corps of assistants is due much praise.

A CARD OF THANKS


TO THE FORT WAYNE FIRE DEPARTMENT.


Gents: - We desire in this manner to tender to you, one and all, our heartfelt thanks for your intelligent and successful efforts in suppressing the fire at our store yesterday. The fire had gained good headway and, but for your services, our stock and building, and possibly much other property, might have been destroyed in a devastating conflagration. We feel that not only our thanks are due to you; but we also feel that the city of Fort Wayne is to be congratulated in having a department officered and manned by a capable and efficient force. We often hear it said, "How lucky Fort Wayne is in not having any bad fires." We rather say how lucky she is in having a fire department that knows how to extinguish them.


Dr. and Mrs. H. G. Wagner.

The fire department complain of the police authorities that they refuse to furnish them cards showing the location of fire boxes, and consequently when an alarm is sent in the fire department are at sea as to the location of the fire.

The fire department was called to a brick dwelling, 121 East Main street, at 10 o'clock this morning to extinguish a burning roof, which had been ignited from a defective chimney. The prompt action of the firemen checked the flames, and the damage, which was only to the roof, was slight. The house belonged to Jefferson Dickerson and was occupied by the Rev. J. P. Lloyd.

The alarm of fire this morning was caused by the burning of the kitchen of a dwelling house belonging to Frank McBennet, at 410 Lafayette street. The fire department was on the scene promptly and the flames were soon extinguished without doing much damage. On Wednesday Mr. McBennett suffered a $300 loss by the burning of his carpenter shop on the same lot. It seems as if fires were coming on him pretty thick and fast.

OUR FIRE LADDIES.


SOMETHING ABOUT THE BOYS WHO PROTECT OUR PUBLIC AND BUSINESS BUILDINGS


AND SAVE OUR HOMES FROM THE RAVAGES OF THE FIRE FIEND.


The Fire Department of our city is one that the citizens of Fort Wayne have good reason to be proud of, and a few words said about the boys may be of interest to some of the readers of the News. With this end in view our reporter dropped into their quarters last night, and found the boys a pleasant, good natured set of fellows and very different from what one would judge them to be when rushing through the streets to a fire or around a burning building.


The Department is all under pay and is composed of what are called regulars and minute men. At the central engine house, located on Berry and Court streets, there are six men under full pay, eight horses, one steamer, two hose carts and one truck or hook and ladder wagon, with the Chief's buggy, while eighteen men, most of whom sleep in the building, are subject to call. At the other engine house, located in the Seventh Ward, there is a steamer and a hose cart, with three regular men, four horses and five minute men. The Department is under splendid discipline and the horses are so well drilled that within ten seconds from the time the alarm is sounded they are in their harness and with the men on the apparatus, ready to start to the fire. The exciting scene of the horses, with their drivers and men rushing through the streets on a mad gallop is a familiar sight, but the men and animals enjoy it and the celerity with which they reach their destination, attach the hose to the hydrant, and have streams of water pouring on the burning building, is almost marvelous.


The minute men are employed in other avocations, but are expected to be on duty when a fire occurs. There are twenty of them in all and they receive $10 a month. The men under full pay are, Henry Hilbrecht, the chief, and Henry Sanders, August Hilgeman, Christ Rohyans, Silas Lavanway, Henry Stohl, John Schroeder, Mike Conners and Conrad Drieblebiss. Chief Hilbrecht receives $100 a month, and the wages of the nine other full pay men run from $50 to $75 a month, while the pay of the two assistants chiefs of the minute men, Fred Baker and John McGowan is $17 a month. The roster of the minute men is: Fred Michael, John Baker, A. J. Piepenbrink, John Zent, Daniel Harrold, Charles Becker, George Brenner, Gotleib Steup, Simon Boerger, Wm. Linderman, Fred Reinking, Edward Immel, Charles Sheldon, John Daley, Asa Lewis, Henry Becker, Emil DeGraw, Wm. Schack, Frank Rosenberger, August Tremmel, Henry Rosenberger, Otto Haus and Emmil Dunfee.


The efficiency of our Fire Department has been the means of preventing many a disastrous conflagration and to their coolness in the hour of danger and the courage of the brave minute men, the city of Fort Wayne is indebted to her safety from the dangers of the fire fiend.

The alarm of fire which was sounded this morning, at 9:30 o'clock, was caused by the men, who are working about the wires in different parts of the city in repairing, either cutting or coming in contact with them. The alarm brought the horses to their carts and the men in position to start, but it was immediately learned that the alarm was a false one, and they did not get out on the street.

Charley Thieme, the popular young former member of the fire department who met with an accident last April, that resulted in the loss of his right leg, has returned from Chicago, where he went a few days ago to order an artificial limb. He succeeded in getting one that suits him and it will be here some time this week. Charley was a brave and efficient hose cart driver, and his many friends will be glad to see him around on two legs again.

John Wagner, the proprietor of the saloon, burst the door open and in removing the bed, burned his left hand severely, but extinguished the flames and prevented what might have been a serious fire.

FIERCE FLAMES.


THE STABLE OF THE STREET RAILWAY COMPANY DESTROYED BY THE FIERY ELEMENT.


One of the most disastrous fires that the city has had for some time broke out last night about 6 o'clock, and called the fire department to the stables of the street railroad company near the Pittsburg railroad depot. The building was in flames when the department arrived on the scene and immediately several streams were turned on the blazing mass, the flames from which shot high up in the air and illuminated the vicinity as bright as day. The fire originated in the stables and soon spread to the long row of frame buildings owned by James Fox, and occupied by Wilson & Son, coal and wood dealers. The wood, kindling and other inflammable material in this building added to the fury of the flames, and the Fire Department was compelled to turn some of the streams of water on adjoining buildings to prevent them from threatened destruction. It was a full hour before the flames from the burning buildings could be subdued; but not before both of them were almost a mass of ruin. The horses and street cars and other valuable property in the street car stable were removed soon after the fire commenced to a place of safety. The loss of the street car company is estimated to be $6,000, on which they had an insurance of $2,400; and the loss on the Fox buildings will be $200, and that of Wilson & Sons the same, neither of whom had any insurance. The origin of the fire can be traced to no reliable source although many rumors are afloat as to the cause.


The fire department did efficient work, and had it not been for their heroic efforts in subduing the flames, the fire would have been communicated to many adjoining buildings, some of which did commence burning, but were quickly extinguished by streams of water.

THE FIRE ALARM.


THE NEW IMPROVEMENTS THAT ARE BEING MADE.


For some time past the Fire Department have been engaged in repairing and rearranging the fire alarm telegraph wires and boxes for the introduction of the improvements in the fire alarm that the city has adopted. The old system, which used the earth to complete the circuit, was unsatisfactory and defective and led to many delays and mistakes. To remedy this, the city adopted what is called the Gamewell Fire Alarm, and they are now going to use the new interference signal boxes, which are so perfect in their mechanism that it is utterly impossible for any other than correct signals to be transmitted, and when once started cannot be interfered with in any way. Their efficiency consists in their entire freedom from interference of one box with another and their perfect security from dust, rain or harm from any cause. With them, mistakes and false alarms are almost impossible and the alarms are sent in with a greater speed and accuracy.


The Gamewell Fire Alarm is considered superior to all others and it is now in use in New York, Chicago, Cincinnati and most of the other larger cities. The fire department have added about eight miles of new wire to their line, and when completed they will have over twenty-six miles of wire stretched through the city. The apparatus for the fire alarm has not yet been received; its arrival having been delayed from some cause or other, but as soon as it arrives it will be placed in shape, when the city of Fort Wayne will have as good a fire alarm as there is in the country. New batteries will be placed in the upper room of the central engine house and the wires be made to run into the rear part of the building instead of at the front as they now do

CARD OF THANKS.


At the late meeting of the board of trustees of the Reformed Orphans' Home, held at the parsonage of the Salem Reformed church, the board was informed by the superintendent of the home that the former "Alert" Hook and Ladder Company, of Fort Wayne, which was recently dissolved, had bequeathed the property belonging to said company, consisting, besides a nice sum of cash, of fifty-two hats, four trumpets, sixteen large pictures and several other things, to be equally divided between the two orphan homes in the city. The report was favorably received and was on motion.


Resolved, That the Superintendent, Rev. J. Rettig, be requested to render unto the members of said company, in this public manner, the thanks of the board for their kindness shown the institution. The same time we express our warmest thanks to those that have so cheerfully given aid in procuring a nice large wagon for our orphan children.


The following have donated: Mrs. J. B. White, $5, Mrs. E. J. Hamilton, $5, Mrs. M. V. Hamilton, $6, Mrs. Dr. G. T. Bruebach, $1, Mr. Julius Linderman, $5. "God loveth a cheerful giver."

A burning chimney in the Harrington Block on Fairfield avenue, gave the Fire Department a long and cold run at 6:30 o'clock this morning. It was the first opportunity the Department have had for using their new hose wagon, which was placed on the floor of the central engine house yesterday. The wagon is a beauty. It carries 800 feet of hose and this thrown into the bed of the wagon in a shape that it is much more convenient for use than it is on the old style hose carts. The boys are proud of their new wagon.

Last night at 7 o'clock the fire department was called to the corner of Oliver and Horace streets, by a fire that had broken out at that point. The building was a one story frame belonging to George Casteel, and was occupied by George Cook, as a grocery store. The fire originated in some was about the counters, and although it made a tremendous volume of smoke, but little damage was done to the building. The fire department soon subdued the flames, but the damage to the stock of goods by smoke and water was considerable.
