LARGE BLAZE.
Destruction of the Indurated Paper
Company's Treating Houses.

serious fire took place at the mills of the
Indurated Paper Company, at North Cor
ham, Saturday night, which would have
proved very disastrous if it had not have
been for the excellent facilities afforded by
the company in regard to fighting fire, the
prompt action and hard work of the en-
ployes, and the attention of the Waterman
to his duty.
About 11.30 o'clock as the Waterman made
his hourly inspection he found that there
was fire existing under good Roadway in
the second story of the new treating house.
This building was two-storied and 40x55 feet
in size. The first floor was devoted to the
ovens, and from this floor the pipes radiated
over the second floor which was the treating
room. The treating room is divided into
four compartments and each compartment
was filled with pals, as the company had
large number of orders to fill 1t is thought
that the pipes had not been properly carried
through the roof and that the accumulated
gases took fire from the excessive heat and
lack OF ventilation. The company had 12,-
600 pals on hand in the treating rooms which
were all destroyed as was the treating house,
and the old treating house adjoining which
was 30x40 feet in size and two stored. AS
we have said the splendid work of the em-
ployes with their engine and hose saved the
rest of the buildings and averted disastrous
confiagration. The Indurated Paper Com
pany manufacture very fine article of pals
manufactured as the name indicates, from
pulp. Mr. Charles D. Brown of this city, is
president, and Mr.. E. B. Denison treasurer.
The loss by the fire ON the stock will be about
$4,000; on machinery it will be very light /;
on buildings about $4,000. We regret to
learn from Mr.. Brown that the insurance is
so small as not to be worth mentioning. The
company will rebuild at once

with Warren Sparrow, and afterwards joined
ness, having been with that firm some four
teen years. For the past year his health has
not been good and, for month or two he had
not been to the office to transact any bust
ness.

chanies Association-which body he joined
in 1871, and had served as treasurer fifteen
years-and of the Citizens Relief He was
