PAPER MILL BURNED AT GARDINER.
Property Worth $4,000 Destroyed.
GARDINER, March 28.-At 3 o'clock this
morning FIRE was discovered in the paper mill
of Richards & Co., situated on the Cobbossee
stream about one mile from here. The fire
originated in what is known as the upper mill,
a large wooden structure containing the princi-
pal part of the machinery for making paper,
both bleaching and finishing. The flames
were first discovered on some of the betting
gear, which seems to show that the fire caught
from the friction of some connecting pulley.
The flames spread rapidly through the build
ing. The large brick mill adjoining and a
wooden storehouse filed with paper stock were
seriously threatened, and considerable difficult
ty was experienced in saving them. Fortunate
ly the flames were confined to the upper mill,
which was almost wholly destroyed. The loss
on the mill burned and injury to machinery is
estimated by the owners at $50,0O0 insured
in various agencies in the state for S3l, 600.
The destruction of the finishing machinery will
cause the total suspension of operations, thus
throwing large number of people out of em-
ployment for some time. The company will
probably rebuild Immediately. This firm was
the principal supply of t he large publishing es-
tablishment of e. G. Allen & Co., Augusta,
and also furnished paper for the Reversible
Collar Co. Consequently the delay will be
very damaging.
