Another Disastrous Fire at Frostburg.

Wednesday night the -fated town
of Frostburg was visited by fire
even more disastrous in its effects
than the one recently chronicled.
About 1l.30 O'Clock on that evening
flames were seen issuing from a cor
ner of the large planning mill of r.
II. Beall e. Son, located in the lower
part of the town, near the tunnel.
The fire department was promptly
on hand, but the nearest fire plug
was SO far off that attaching hose was
out of the question, and the fire was
left to accomplish its work.
Owing to the infiammable nature
of the material Of the building and
its contents, the flames spread with
great rapidity and were soon commu-
nicated to the lumber yard adjoining
and belonging to the same firm. The
efforts Of those present were chiefly
directed toward saying the lumber,
and portion of it was preserved.
The planning mill, with all its ma
chinery and contents, and a large
portion Of the lumber were destroy
