stanty filled with the flames, and In half an hour
not a vestice OF 1t remained. This, and nearly all
the buildings IN the vicinity were of wood, with

this piece of finder that the inmates had much diff
Guilty in escaping with their lives. All the goods IN
the factory, and the building, were destroyed
