FIRE AT I.1GoNIA.
The Rolling Mills Partially Destroyed
Loss Possibly Covered by Insurance.

At2.3O p. m. yesterday, word was telephoned
to the city, from the Rolling Mills, for aid, as
the mills were on fire, and two of our:st cam
ers were Immediately dispatched thither by
Chief Littlefeld. The great masses of smoke
rising, drew the attention of hundreds in the
city, and many people focked to the fire.
Mr. jacobson, clerk of the company. was in
the carpenter shop, which is situated some lit
tie distance from the mills, when the whistle
blew three times sharply, and then a prolonged
blast. The carpenter cried out "The mills are
on fire" and Mr.. jacobson started at once for
the mills. The buildings used by the corpora
tion consisted of large main BUILDING! 100
feet long by 80 wide, and about 30 feet high in
the clear. Connected with the main buildinc
were two wings, one used for the pudding
mill, 10 feetsquare, and the other for guide
mIl-where small iron was manufactured
which was 60x40 feet. Adjacent to the guide
mill was the oil room. When Mr.. jacobson
reached the mills, the guide mill was all in
names. Whether fire had been smouldering
In that room, or whether flash from one of
the furnaces had passed into the oil room. is
not known, but the men, some fifty in number
at work in the guide mill, all at once found
themselves surrounded by fire, and had barely
ing building, had barely time to get out their
books.
Water was Immediately put on from the
steam engine owned by the company, but the
hose burst and the men were virtually power
less. They worked however, like beavers,
with pals of water, crawling into dangerous
places at the risk Of their lives, and the COM
pany is to be congratulated on such faithful
employees. AS soon as the steamers arrived
from the city fresh hoge was furnished, and
the company's steam pump then did excellent
service The guide mill was. however, COM
pletely destroyed, and as the walls fell they
standing in racks, and upright, with them.
The portion of the large mill adjoining used
as bar mill, was destroyed, or about one
third of the large MILL In the part destroyed
was valuable machinery for saving bar iron,
and the spike-making machine. Luckily the
boilers were filled with water, after the fires
were drawn, SO there was no danger of explo-
sion. fire was kept in the furnace supplying
the steam pump, which furnished the stream
for the fire.
At $50 p. m. the flames were under control
but the ruins were hot and sizzling. and the
engines had to play all the evening on the ru-
ms. The pudding mill, big steam engine, and
gleat deal of valuable machinery were not
injured.
The loss cannot be accurately stated for a
few days. 1t may not exceed SIG, 600, and it
may require all the insurance ,000-to
cover the loss. The guide mill was built by
the Ligonia Corporation. The other buildings
were constructed in 1865. President Millken
and Superintendent Turner we're both out of
town at the time Of the fire.

The annual meeting of the Fraternity was
held at their rooms last evening, President
Hersey in the chair.
From the secretary s-Mr. E. G.. Jordan's-
report, we learn that the work of the past
year has been especially satisfactory. There
are ITO benefciaries enrolled, 154 of whom are
included in the various classes, against 145 with
1913 attending classes the year previous. There
have been 13, 945 visits made by the beneficiary
classes during the year, averaging 80 for the
school year, per evening, and 40 for the whole
year Reference is made to the fact that
pupils OF the fraternity occupy responsible
positions in the city as clerks, and some are
found deriving benefit from the Y. NJ. @. A.
