PARTICULARS or THE BURNING OF TIE BRIL-
LIANT GLASS WORKS.
WELIspuRG, February last night about
fifteen minutes before eleven O'Clock
the Brilliant Glass Works, at Brilliant, (for-
merly Lagrange) were discovered to be on
fire. The flames spread throughout the build
ing with such fearful rapidly that the EN-.
ployes had but barely time to get out. AS
to the origin Of the fire, upon inquiry made
OF those connected with the establishment,
We find that It IS not certain whether the fire
originated in the packing room on the second
floor, or in the engraving room on the third
floor. The hands had been at work in the pack.
ing room up till nine o'clock. The general
supposition is that the fire originated from a
stoyein the engravers' room. From whatever
source, what was arst-class establishment
for the manufacture of glass ware is
now in ruins. The furnace is uniniured
The brick floor surrounding it saved the
coal bins and teazer room, thus enabling
them to keep up the fire in the furnace until
such time as the glass can be removed from
the pots. The engine aud boiler are but little
damaged. The heaviest loss Is in la,hes.
moulds and patterns. There was uHite a
large stock OF ware and glass making mate
rails in the building. The loss is estimated
at about $4,000; insurance about $24, 600.
| Workmen are now engaged In getting from
the ruins the moulds and machinery. It Ia
the opinion OF all Of the stockholders that we
conversed with that they will rebuild imme.
diately. or course nothing definite can be ar.
rived at until they have meeting, which
Will be held on Monday next The works
we're doing good business. It gave EN-.
ployment TO over one hundred and fifteen
hands. The building was frame three sto.
ries, seventy by one hundred and seventy
feet.
From the Steubenville Herald Of Saturday
evening" we gather the following additional
facts In regard to the FIRE:
Mr. Jos. Beatty estimates the entire loss be.
tween forty and fifty thousand dollars. There
was 81, 600 worth OF stock in the building
1t is impossible to fix the loss definitely, as
the booke are In the safe in the ruins, but
they are not thought to be seriously injured,
No one can say how the fire originated, un.
less It had been smouldering sometime, as no
one but the Waterman had been in that part
OF the building for several hours. The insur.
ance on building, stock and materials, etc,
900, divided as follows: Messrs, Greasy

machinery; s., 600 each in Springfield Mass
