THE LATEST.
The Flint Mill at Fall River, Mass, was
completely destroyed by fire on the evening of
the 18th. When first discovered the flames
were issuing from the belt box of the main
belt in the engine room of the lower story of
the picker house, and spread with lightning
like rapidity along the belt to the upper story,
and in less time than it takes to describe were
bursting forth in every story. The mill was a
magnificent structure of granite, five stories,
built in 1872, and constructed and equipped at
q cost of 100000 The main build
ing was 300 feet long by 81 feet wide. The
picker house, which adjoined the center and
East side of the mill, was also of granite and
three stories high, with engine and boiler
house on the first floor. When the fire first
was discovered what few employees were in
the mill Immediately made every effort to ex-
tinguIsh the flames, but without success.
Directly opposite the burning mill was the
Wampanoag, another massive granite struc-
ture separated from it by only $50 feet. The
strong Northwest wind blew a cloud of burn
ing cinders straight against it, and the build
ing began to blacken with heat. 1t seemed at
one time as though this mill was
doomed, but it was finally saved by
the energetic efforts OF the firemen.
The total loss, including mill, machinery, and
goods in process of manufacture, will be very
