THIRTY. FOUR AUTOMOBILES ARE
BURNED AS RESULT OF A
GASOLINE EXPLOSION.
City Hall and Court House Threatened
? Jail Door Afire ? Lincoln and
Reo Plants Wiped Out.
Conservative estimates of the loss
in yesterday's lire. which destroyed
ih?- Lincoln garage and Ron Sales
Agency plant at k'hapline an<! b'off
streets, indicate lhai fully $60, "00
worth of property went up in llaincs.
Only h small part of the loss is cov
ered by insurance carried by a few
individuals who had their automobiles
insured.
Of this flgur<\ Jio.non or more is
represented in the destruction of
thirty-four automobiles. The building
whieh houses the two garages was
totally destroyed, with a loss of
$ 1 ii.iuiO. Tin- ivst of the loss includes
gasoline, oils, tires, accessories and
supplies .together with several hun
dred dollars that will Ik required to
replace paint and broken windows in
the city hall, county jail and Wheeling
Electric company nliiccs. The latter
offices are housed in an annex to the
McCullagh building. which provided
, quarters for the Lincoln garage and
Ueo agency.
The lire started at - o'clock yester
day afternoon when a small explosion
occurred while (lone Schreiver was
; using gasoline to ch-aa the mechanism
i of an aritomobiie in the Reo garage,
| housed in the north section of the
; building fronting on EolY street. The
i car took tin- and communicated
quickly to a room connecting the two
j sections of the building in which a
\ huge quantity of oil was stored. Ef
I forts to check the flames with small
i extinguishers proved helpless and Box
' -1> in the city hall was pulled, call
! ing out even piece of fire fighting
apparatus in the city. But before the
departments could get on the scene
i the entire garage was a seething ma?s
i of dames. Thirty-live ears stored on
; the lirst floor of the Lincoln garage
i were removed to safety and three cars
j were saved front the Reo garage.
| Ilelore any morn machines could be
1 taken out, the heat, smoke and flames
| compelled employes of the garages
I and car owners to abandon ro t In
flames eleven cars stored iri the
1 second floor of the Lincoln garage and
twenty-three in the Ueo garage.
Entire Department is Cailed.
I For several minutes great volumes
of water poured into the seething fur
| nace by every engine and chemical
I apparatus failed to check the flames,
j It looked like the Wheeling Electric
j offices, fronting on Sixteenth street,
, were doomed and a great deal of the
j content^ were carried out of the way
| of the lire.
'City Hall Threatened.
Tongues of tire shot out across the
| alley next to the city building. It
was so hot in the police station that
i Ihe officers there had to leave their
( desks and Lieutenant William Bucey
: Joined the firemen and held it nozzle
for an hour directing water upon the
flames while the other officer's worked
: to drive back the crowds that pushed
! against the lire lines arid hampered
i the work of the firemen. Windows in
. the Second Branch council chamber
were cracked by the intense heal.
' The paint on the city hall cornices and
towers was burned off and it looked
as though the building would take .lire.
: Judge 1L C. Hervey and Judge K. M.
Addleman. 'whose office.- are in the
' third floor of the city-county building,
fearing that the structure would he
burned, prepared to remnw their rec
ords and papers out of the way. in
