Fire in an Amsonia Factory.

A fire occurred Monday afternoon about o'clock in the weaving room situated in the upper story of the Osborn & Cheeseman fac tory, in Ansonia. It is supposed to have originated from one of the bearings of a loom becoming overloaded and setting fire to the waste. The alarm caused quite con- sternation among the help, all of whom left except the girl who worked on the loom, she having the presence of mind to turn the water on and extinguish the flames with a small hose before the fire company arrived The damage is but slight. It might have been 8 serious confagration, as the goods made there are suspenders. Another report is in circulation as to the origin of the fire, which states that it was caused by the throw ing of match carelessly on the floor after lighting the gas.
