A Big Bisze - The lohighton Breaker

o'clock on last Sunday night, caused by
the cry of "F'Hep Upon looking to
the northwest end of town we discovered
that the coal breaker of Il. Penn Smith
& Co., was enveloped in flames, This
breaker was erected about one year ago
at a cost OF about $4,000, and has been
running more or less steadily since that
time, employing some 20 Or 30 men and
boys, The breaker building was total
ly destroyed together with the machi-
merry, tools, about 75 to 100 tons of coal,
&c, but the Office building and dwell
ings belonging to the works were saved,
The loss foots up about $4,000, upon
which there is an insurance of $4,000
Luckily for this town the wind was
blowing from the southwest, or the best
part of town would probably have been
reduced to ashe5-there being no water
supply or fire apparatus. Now is a good
time to see to these matters.
