D'moll'AiDE a Large MllI-TAo machine

DsmOlishiug Large MIIl-Ths Machinery
Totally Destroyed.
GRAND RAPIDS, MIcH, May 2S.-At
o'clock last evening a laundering crash
was heard in the Valley City Mills. On
investigation 1t proved to be the giving
away OF the overwhelmed floors. The
whole interior Of the huge structure fell
into the basement, and large portion Of
the contents was soon swept away by the
mill race out into the Grand river, leaving
the lofty mill like an empty egg shell.
There were stored In immense bins in the
second, third and fourth stories OF the
mills between $4,000 and 10000 bushela ol
wheat and about thirty tons Of bran, all
weighing 800 tons. In the western por.
ton Of the building was the milling ma.
Uhinery ot the most improved and costly
styles, a portion Of 1t having been put In
but q year ago at an expense OF $4,000.
All this plunged down into the basement
in the general destruction.
The tlmbsrs and machinery in falling
broke through the west side Of the build
ing, facing the river, making a gap in the
wooden walls fifteen feet wide and twenty
to thirty feet high. A smaller gap was
also made In the wall on the east side.
These were the only signs visible from the
outside Of the grand smash.up within.
The damage is estimated at from $50, 900 to
100000 but the insurance Is worthless, az
1t only covers damage by fire. A new mill
will be erected at once. The disaster oC.
Cured by the tlmbers yielding In the first
story, and, forcing the uprlghta, the whole
came down.
