with oil, meal and hulls, caught fir? in
about the middle of the building an 1 was
soon a very furnace of flames. In connec
tion with it was the refinery of the Macon
Oil and Ice Company, and the inflammable
character of the stock made a verv hard
problem for the fire department to face.
I Separated only by the narrow space of a
' railroad side track was the establishment
I of the F. W. Cook Brewing Company.
I The firemen devoted their attention to
’ preventing *he .spread of the flames and so
well did they work that the fire could not
cross and the owners of the brewing com
pany as well as the owners of other con
tiguous buildings were accordingly grate
ful this morning.
The loss on the Oil and Ice Company's
building and refinery was about $3,000, in
sured through Cabanlss, Callaway & Caba
niss in the following companies:
Fireman's Fund, $2,500.
Georgia Home, $2,500.
Greenwich, $2,500.

ing policies on the Jelks& Taylor stock:

George B. Jewett’s agency held S4OO on I
the Jelks & Taylor stock in the Commer

jured at the fire. He was holding the pipe
in the burning building when he slipped,
the pipe falling from his hand and strik
ing him in the body. He was knocked to
the floor and was seriously hurt. He. was
carried back to the engine house and at
last accounts he was resting easily. ,
