their apparatus across the street to reach

proportions and it required the iunited
efforts of the plucky firemen TO keep the
flames from spreading to other buildings.

ing burned like tinder and the flames
continued to destroy for an h0urland thirty
minutes. when the streams Of water from
the Lenape engine began to tell, and in a
short time the building was mass Of
smouldering ruins. The engine CON
tinued to play on the ruins until late this
afternoon

bruised by falling bricks. Superinten.
dent Hiram Borie, of the Delaware Iron
Works, lost a new sleigh and some har.
ness which was in the stables. but every.
thing else OF value was gotten out of the
building.
The ola foundry was formerly run by
Morris Tasker & Company, which firm
owns the building. 1t was the Oldest
manufacturing establishment in the
city, but when the Delaware
Iron Works were built the machinery
was all iremoved to the latter
place, and the burned building was not
used for anything, except for stables,
