Watts Cooke. the President OF the mill, Is n
Republican. and has been leading the bolt

cnmity. and many persons think the fire may
have been Of incendiary origin on that account
This. however Ia more conjecture. There is
great excitement ms II Is the largest and most
calamitous fire that has happened hero for
years.
Mr.. Cooke says that the most valuable part OF
the mill is savcd. and he thinks the loes will
not exceed $4,000: insured for $4,000 He
saws he will rebuild at once, and the fire will
not cause much delay.
The fire was first discovered near a pudding
furnace. The office and the pattern shop, con-
tanning many thousand dollars worth OF pat

shop, and the rolling shop were saved. The
