composed, and gradually died out. The
whole block was a mass of ruins, the brick
furnace and chimneys standing out as monu-
ments to locate where but short time be-
fore was well constructed factory and
other conveniences of the glass works
The duration or the fire was short and in
keeping with the rapidity and severity of
the confagration.
1t is difficult to estimate the losses but it
is thought the sum total will not exceed
$4,000. The losses occur mostly on the
factory and different departments of the
mandatory, and not on "the stock and
material stored in the warehouse This
loss is not entirely covered by insurance, as
$4,000 is the amount placed on the factory
and auxiliary buildings. The loss on the
warehouse will not cut very prominent
figure in the disaster. This part of the bus
mess was insured to the amount of SIS, 600.
The total loss is estimated on the
account is taken of the incidental loss
which will result from a temporary shutting
down of work This will swell the total
footing to a considerable amount, much
larger than the figures already given.
1t was the intention of the manager of
the works to continue operations until the
10Th of June, provided the laborers could
work up to that time. This prolongation
of the usual season was necessitated by an
accumulation of orders which would have
required that length of time to fill.
Over $50 men are thrown out of employ
ment and this fact is an item of considera-
bic Importance.
1t is stated on good authority, that the
works viii be rebuilt as soon as the adj
busters Of the various Insurance Companies
interested, have settled their losses with Mr..
Watson. The new works can be complet-
ed during the summer, and Will be ready
for the opening of the seasons work which
commences early in the fall.
