AFFAIRS AT SOUTH OMAHA Fire Breaks Out Again in Ruins of Packing Plant Warehouse. DESTRUCTION IS NOW COMPLETE Thousands Who Visit Bellevuo Cnnght In Downnour nud Drenched Ones Who Go to Fort Crook More Fortunate. Fred Cowln, general superintendent of the National Packing company of Chicago, of which tha Omaha Packing company Is a branch, and O. W. Chrlstlanson, general superintendent of construction, arrived In South Omaha Sunday morning to do what they might to save tha rest of the burning Warehouse and tha nearby buildings. It was evident before dawn Sunday morn ing that the building was to be a total loss. Tha fire broke out at I a. m. and burned with as great fierceness as at the first conflagration. The three upper stories, parts of which were left until midnight Saturday night, all went down. This hap pened In spite of all the thousands of bar rels of water which were hourly poured upon the flames. Another section of the wall fell Saturday night and after It gave way the caving of the walls occurred at intervals all day Sunday. At noon a large section ot the east wall fell on the engine room and narrowly missed the ammonia compressors. If these pipes had been broken there would have been no living near the plant until the fumes had dissipated. John Anderson, the master mechanic of ' the plant, knowing the danger, ran and jumped off tho roof of the engine room where he had been standing to the roof of another building. The Jump was pretty high and he sprained his knee severely. The efforts of the firemen were then turned to break ing down the rest of the tottering wall be fore such an accident should occur. All the pressure of the engines and the mains was put upon the big hose at the east side and the stream was played upon the wall at the highest point first, a distance of nearly 100 feet. The water gradually crumbled tha wall from the top without damage. The same was done for all the walla, except where they could be safely rased by other means. On the west wall Jack Connors, who has not had his shoes off since tha tire began, rigged up a bat tering ram of 2x6 plank which proved ef fectual. A breech was made through which rope was passed over the top and the crumbling wall was pulled down. Bis; Crowds on Street. Yesterday was a great day tor crowds In South Omaha. Twenty-fourth and N streets was a solid mass of people from 7:30 a. m. until tha deluge of rain, began at 6:45 p. m. Everyone In the two cities wanted to go to Bellevue and 20,000 or more succeeded. The Interurban line ran . nine cars, three cars together, and every car going and coming, was packed to Its utmost capacity. When the storm clouds began to thicken toward evening the crowds coming down refused to get off at Bellevue and Fort Crook, and until the rain began to fall thousands watted vainly for cara back to Omaha. They struggled furiously at times to foroe their way, but only the strongest and those Just at the iucky point had any chance at all. The trainmen could do lit tle but be patient and run thelrcara as carefully as possible. The last car to leave Bellevue before the deluge, had some boys on the roof. It anyone was ever soaked more thoroughly he must have "Jumped In the lake." When the oar stopped at South -Omaha j the gutters were - a foot deep with muddy water, Women ran Splashing through It to the nearest shel ter. The women were good natured, how ever, and as soon as they had time to turn about they watched, the sufferers fol lowing. The flood of water pouring down RfW- rood avenue, over a foot deep on the car tracks, stopped the enrs for half an hour. There was considerable confusion in switch ing during the rain. The people at Fort Crook were more fortunate than at Belle vue, for there they retired to the barracks Of the soldiers and found shelter until the worst was passed. At Bellevue many were caught where they could find no shelter. President Wadaworth's houae was thrown open to the visitors, as well as the other bouses near the line. Some found refuge in the college buildings. Many were not a little alarmed after witnessing the recent devastation, when the clouds rolled up so black and threatening. It Is believed that the visit of the people to Bellevue will bear much fruit In the way of relief. Small subscriptions of tho common people will raise the funds li once convinced their aid Is needed. The same feeling prevailed at the meeting called for yesterday afternoon at tha eity hall. The attendance wss not .large, for everyone at that hour was trying to go to Bellevue to see for himself. Estimate of Loss. For the first time General Manager H, S. Culver appeared willing to talk on tha subject of losses. He said: "The loss of the burned part is now complete. We will not be able to aave anything. Tou may say that the loss, of the Omaha Packing oompany will be about taoo.OOO, fully cov ered by Insurance. The loss of the Cudahy Packing company will be considerable, but I prefer you should secure the figures from them. Their meat waa stored on the south side of the warehouse In tha freeser. The officials who have arrived from Chicago Lwill direct the future ot the old plant." M. R. Murphy, general manager for Cudahy & Co., stated that their loss would amount to fully $130,000, properly covered by Insurance. This, with the additional losses ot other wholesale firms who had supplies In the plant, mill bring tha loaa, Including all partlea concerned, to $400,000, the first flcures quoted by The Bee. It may possibly be a little short of that total, but not much. "Of course," aald Mr. Culver, "we have deducted the deterioration of tha building from our estimate. This building Is twen ty-two years old and cannot be considered aa valuable as during the days when it was an up-to-date building. For this reason we reckon our loaaea conalderably lower, It waa, however, tha beat building of tha old plant and would have dona service for many years." - Tha Pnrker Carnival. The C. W. Parker shows arrived In South Omaha last night. These shows will give a rar nival of alx daya and nights at tha enclosure near Ninth and N streets. The carnival Is given under tha auspices of the commission merchants of Boujh Omaha, and featurea the trained wild ani mal circus of Al Q.
