DESTRUCTION OF COTTON MILL
BY FIR.E.
A fire, which involved the destruction of a cotton
mill, and the loss of upwards of 20,0001., occurred on
Saturday eteaing at Manchester. The mill was an old
structure, of conaiderable extent, measuring about 60
yards in length, and 12 in breadth, and running to the
height of eight storeys and an attic. It was situate in
the bottom of Dickenson-street. St. Peter's-square, and
was in the occupation of Mr. James Frost, and others,
trading under the title of Thomas Ogden and Sons, a
firm name long attached to the mill. They employed
between 430 and 500 hands in the manufacture of time
yarns mainly, and some small quantity of low numbers,
and these workpeople will now be out of employ. The
cause of the tire was accidental, or at leak it is said to
be so. A piece of machinery in No. 3 room, driving the
first "wheel-house," or pair of "mules," was not working
well, and Mr. Frost in the afternoon gave instructions
to a mecharoc to look to it. The man found that the
repairs would take some time, and he was obliged to
remain at work after all the hands had quitted the
mill, at about four o'clock. Darkness comb%
upon him before he had finished, he called
the watchman of the mill to procure a light, and while
they were Ltill at work the watchman let the light drop,
and the fkme communicating with the cotton about, ho
and the mechanic had scarcely time to get out of the
room betore it was in a blaze. 'There is, however, some
doubt about this account, because mills are cleared out
on the Seteiday afternonre and therefore there was no
-waste—the material which plays so important a part in
-the-rapid combustien of cotton mills—lying about; and
besides that, tho light is said to have been in a covered
lamp. The mill was old, and the floors being full of oil
and dirt, a fire once kindled it spread with an amazing
facility. A gentleman who was passing down Brook-
street saw a glimmer of the fire in the room, and made
his way to the place, but before he had traversed the
half mile which lay between him and the entrance the
fire was bursting out of the windows on the opposite
side. This was about ten minutes to six o'clock. An
alarm was instantly given, and by six o'clock
a fire engine was on the spot, the rest of
the Manchester brigade (in all ten engines), two en-
