GREAT riRL Al THE FOOT OF SIXTH STREET.
TOTAL DESTRUCTION OF A. J. BARRETT Il cos
LARGE SAM MILL.
\ very destructive fire occurred on Saturday
night, by which the large Saw Mill of A. j. Bar
rett & Co., between the Railroad and the Chris
tiana was entirely consumed The alarm was
given by the Waterman ut Kirkman's ship-yard
who saw the smoke rising over the roof. Messrs
Barrett's Waterman was in the Office ut the time
and had been all through the mill at o'clock. ut
that time every thing was all right and there were
no signs of fire. The fire being some what North
East Of the City Hail. the alarm bell of that reli-
able institution with its customary accuracy struck
south and continued TO do so long enough TO send
all the fire companies on wild goose chase down
town. The Delaware and Washington companies
were on the ground in peaniy time to have saved
the main building had they been properly supplied
with hose, and II is altogether probable that
after the arrival of the other companies the des-
truction could have been stayed had they had
sufficient hose. Finding it impossible to save the
mllthe engines turned their attention to the sur
rounding property. The mill, the first story of
which was Of stone, and second story (where the
saws were situatcd) Of frame was entirely con-
sumed. 1t had in it quite quantity Of unsawetl
timber and sawed lumber, and blazed territicly,
lighting up the whole heavens with its lurid light
and making it so hot in the vicinity Of the mill
that the tireinen could hardly remain there.
