dUNwoRKs BURNED AT PITTSBURGH.
PITTsBRcH, Nov. 18.-This morning about
8 O'Clock flames were discovered rising from
the Enterprise gunworks of j. Brown & Son,
on Wood street. An alarm was az once
sounded and the fire department responded
quickly, but before the flames could be
checked the entire building wss gutted. A
large amount of cartridges were stored on
the third floor, which became ignited and
kept up a continual fusilade, rendering it
dangerous for the firemen to approach the
building. Finding it useless to attempt to
save the structure which, in less than forty
five minutes from the time the flames were
discovered, was a ruin, attention was
directed to the valuable build
ings surrounding, which were
with difficulty saved from destruction,
not, however, without being considerably
damaged from water. The origin of the
fire is not known. The loss is probably
$4,000, distributed as follows: On build
ing owned by d. Gregg, $4,000; stock of
Brown & Son, $4,000; Walter Hague, silver
platter, $12, 600; Geo. Comerford, silver plat
er, $1,000; a. McCollums, carpet store,
$4,000 to $40, 900. Brown & Son have been
peculiarly unfortunate, having been burned
out three times in twelve years, besides hav-
ing their gun works pulled by mobs during
the memorable riots of 1877.
