HALF A MILLION GONE.
The Wakefield Rattan Works I'm
Ashes-A Thousand Hands Idle.

WAKEFIELD, Mass, March 12.-This
morning fire broke out In what is known
as the new chair room of the Wakefield
Rattan Works, aud soon spread to large
four story building used as basket and
chair room, which was quickly destroyed.
The flames then attacked large four story
frame building, 75 feet wide and 800 feet
long, occupied as a weaving room in the
first story, with the chair rooms overhead,
and this building was soon in ruins. Help
has arrived from Storehonse and Reading,
and strong efforts are making to check the
flames. 1t Is impossible to estimate the loss
but it will probably reach half a million,
perhaps more. Nearly 1000 employees will
be thrown out of work.
After the destruction of the four story
building, the flames ignited three store
houses to the right of this building, and
also q small dwelling. Another store house
and small house in the same area soon
took fire, and the wind, which was blowing
q gale, famed the flames so that the nine
buildings were one mass of fame. The
sparks caught IN the cupola Of brick
building used rs machine and carpenter
shop, and the cupola being 106 feet high
streams from the hydrant failed to reach
the fire, and the building was soon Quilted.
Loss, 500, 600; insurance, 1884, 900.
