THE ashland UNION. WEDNESDAY MORNING MAY .

TIE FmE.--At about half past one
O'Clock, on last Tuesday morning, the
Sash Factory Of Freese, Dressler 4 Co.,
discovered to be on fire. The alarm
was Immediately given, but before any
assistance could be rendered, the whole
building was en1eloped in flames. Hun
,dreds Of our citizens were present, and
stood gazing on the scene Of destruction,
unable to arrest the devouring element,
and the building, with all its contents,
was destroyed. The loss is estimated at
from $l2, 900 to sl5, 900. No insurance.
1t ia not known how the fire originated.
Mr.. Jacob Hildebrand's stable, which
caught FIRE from the heat Of the Factory,
was also burned to the ground. His
dwelling was in great danger for a time,
but was prevented from taking fire by
throwing water on it. Mr. H's loss will
probably amount to $500 or $500.
About half an hour after the alarm
was given, the Fire Company made its
appearance at the FIRE, but, Of course, too
late to do any good: Hildsbrand's stable
and a great deal Of lumber could have
been saved, if the Company had been there
in season. Why il was not there, we do not
know, but this we do know, that such an
organization as Protection Fire Company
No. l, is a decided nuisance, and the
sooner it is disbanded, the better, for as
long as there is the Madop Of q Fire Com
