SAND DOLLARS.

FAM DVlfsits-s
COnoEs, n. Y, January $3.50 A. M
The rolling-mills OF Morrison, Colwell a.
Page are burning. The pilot-mills OF z.
Gogerfy, and the tubing-works Of A. e..
Curtis 4 Co. are in danger. High wind
blowing.
Oh. M--The rolling-mills are total
loss. The Violet Mills are now burning
fiercely.
CoHoEs, N. Y, January J-1I:15 A. NJ
The fire il now under control. Morrison,
Colwell & Pages rolling-mill, O'Brien 4
Powers's knitting-mills, and Patrick Co
gerty's pilot-mills were totally destroyed.
The loss will exceed $3.50, 900, which IL eov-
cred by two-thirds insurance.
The Ere originated In the wheel-pit
OF the rolling-mill OF Morrison, Col
well e. Page while the engineer
was thawing out the wheel, and the
entire works were consumed. within
an hour, nothing being left but the fur
naces and chimneys. The flames drove the
orkmen away so quickly that they had no
time to draw their furnaces, and hence the
loss is much greater than it otherwise
would have been, as the iron will now have
to cool in them. and they viii then have to
be taken apart for removal.
The total loss Oh The r0lllng-mills Is now
estimated at half million dollars. The
insurance Is about $4,000. The flames
were driven to the Pilot Mills, which were
soon enyeloped.
The fire ran riot through the oily and
combustible material and communicated
from one story TO another with lightning
speed. Within five minutes this immense
