The roof finally fell- carry ing the remaining floors ; then the south wall fell with a trpmen- doua crash into the huge furnace of flames. The mill is a total loss , that will amount to about $000,000. The mill was built in 1873. Insurance , half a million , distributed among fourteen mutual companies. The mill destroyed ran about 40,000 spindles and 10,000 looms , > and furnished employment to 500 hands , with weekly pay-roll of $3,000.

Portions of tannery were burned a year ago. 400 people are . .brown out of employment. , So far the efforts to obtain full list of . nsuranco ia fruitless. Membora of the firm refuse to give the details. It is acsortainod from other sources that thoth nauranco is mainly placed in local com- ' $ panics , and in companies represented hero. The fire originated in the drying room over the boiler and was discovered by the watchman while lighting a fire in [ the boiler about two o'clock this morn ing. The spread of the flames was rapid 'and the spectacle was remarkably brilliant as the great building seemed to bo all aflame at once. There were many nar row escapes from falling walls , but no . was the largest of the kind in the world , with a stock of a million dollars. J. E. Morey is president ; S. M.
