Their Loss by the Fire.
Hundreds of people yesterday visited
the ruins of Winter & Balls umbrella
factory at Grove and Twelfth streets,
which was almost completely destroyed
by fire on Saturday night, as described in
Yesterdays SUNDAY MORNING NEWS.

present condition.

mains q rlystery. The repairs will be
