FIRE AT WHITE DEER MILLS
Last Saturday the roof Of the woolen
mill and hat factory of Griffey 81 Co.,
at White Deer Mills, this county, was
discovered to be on fire. The building
was large frame four and half sto-
ry, and it was impossible to get water
to the flames in time to have any eff
feet. The entire builling was Destroy
ed. A brick house across the way, oc-
cupied by the firm as warehouse, was
also burned. The loss is estimated at
from Sl25, 200, to $15O,OO0, on which
there was $53, 900 insurance. The es-
tablishment employed 100 hands. 1t is
not yet decided whetehr the works will
be rebuilt, but it is thought they will
be. The establishment has been doing
large business, as its goods have an
excellent reputation and the orders for
fall are unusually numerous. The lar
gest portion of the finished goods were
saved. Also, the big water wheel.
The fire is supposed to have originated
from spark from one of the fues.-
