Fire 1T the Rornd.House.

On Monday last, 1t about . o'clock,
\. NJ, the Round House at the Depot
was discovered to be on fire. which
caught in the roof, probably, by sparks
from an engine.
The structure was built in two Sec
ti"ns. separated by fire. wall, which
extended about four feet above the roof.
1t was impossible to cxtingu;sh the
fire before the destruction Of one-h,lf
oFthe building. 1" that portion there
were Eve dead engines, which were re-
moved by han1-powcr, a feat which
shows both force and courage. 1t was
performed under the personal surervis-
ion Of Mr.. Luther Abbott, the Compa-
ny's Master MaclIinist, and but for his
GOODNESS. skill and energy, one of the
engines, ut least, must have been de-
Str"yed. 1t was "jacked up" for re-
pairs, and had to be taken down before
it could he removed, and it caught fire
before it WAS reached by the rcscuers.
Bps sustained only slight damage. The
entire male force Of the village was
promptly on the ground, and everything
Of value was removed from danger and
then began the work Of saving the Sec
ond section. Fortunately, there is a
pump i" this part which ge:s its supply
Of water from the "tank," which was
full and gave down abundantly. A
rank Of men, extending from the pump
to the roof, was put into position, and
by the use Of pals, saturated the whole
upper surface with water. The beams
which support the roof extent through
the wall, ind the Gro followed them.
They were about twenty feet from,
the ground and could not be reach
cd from above. All efforts to save the
south section would have been fruitless,
but for the timely presence Of three lit
tie Fire-extinguishcrs, recently intro.
duced here by Hopkins Il Fernald.
They throw a stream about half an incl.
in diameter, to hei''ht of thirty feet
with apparent ease. As the flames came
creeping along those upper timbers,
wholly beyond the reach Of pals or
available opposition from above, the
streams from these little engines met
and extinguished them with apparent
case. Everybody did his full share
and it would be invidious to make any
determinations, but We arc bound ia
say that" Walt" Sutherland carried of
more water and smoke in his clothes
than any other of the crowd of heroes
who distinguished themselves upon that
occasion, unless it be A. r. Foote, the
efficient agent of the Road ut this place.
If the Railroad Company has any
::ncw Clothes" we suggest that they
can we'll afford to send suit to :'Walt."
Loss about $4,000, fully covered by in
surance. The work Of rebuilding will
commence Tomorrow, aud be compile
ted as soon as possible.
