About half-past 3 o'clock yesterday after
noon q fire broke cut in the rear portion of
the large four-storied brick building situated
at the northeast corner of Twenty-second and
Wood streets. The flames spread with great
rapidity, and soon enveloped the entire struc-
ture. The fire originated over the boilers in
the northeastern portion of the building.
The structure destroyed was built mainly of
brick, with a front on Twenty-second street
of one hundred feet, and extending back on
Wood and Carlton streets a distance of one
hundred and thirty feet. That portion of
the building fronting on Twenty-second and
Carlton streets was occupied as the Phoenix
brass foundry and iron railing mandatory.
The central part of the 'front.' building was
occupied by Wilson d Fennimore, manufac-
turers of paper hangings, whose workrooms
also extended to the back portion of the
building. On the corner of Twenty second
and Wood streets was situated the Girard
finishing works.
The entire interior of the building, with
the machinery and stock, was destroyed, and
nothing is left but a mass of smouldering
ruins. The fire was not entirely extinguished
until late last night. A large number of
workmen are thrown out of employment by
this mishap.
The total loss by the fire is estimated at
800, 600, about equally divided on the build
ing and machinery and stock. TIL assurances
on the stock and machinery could not be ac-
curately ascertained, but it is believed that
they about cover the losses.
