ated was stone and brick, three stories
high and nearly four hundred feet long,
connecting the east and west armorier.
By 'he time the department got fairly
to work one-half of the long building
connecting the two armories was
ablaze from base to attic and the efforts
of tbe firemen were then directed to
saving the east armory. Lines of hose
were soon run up into the third and
fourth floors of tbe east armory and the
progress of the flames was beaded off
in that direction.
Ihe three-story building connecting
the two armories is partially destroyed.
East of the dividing brick walls It is all
gone and west of it tiie roof and top
story is burned off. The loss on the
building Is estimated at $73 000. There
were seventy-five universal presses

destroyed. In the attic were 50,000
black walnut gunstocks seasoning
These were also a total loss. T. D
Pierce, nickle plater on tbe third floor,
lost most of his machinery, All the
others were occupied by tbe Colt com
pauy tor storing ana packing pur
poses. The concerns in tbe west
armory lose little and that by water.
