some adjoining property damaged. The fire
broke out in an oil shed hear the Christiana

the horseshoe building and several smaller
structures were mass OF seething fame. The
firemen had all they could do to keep the
flames from jumping across Heald street and
sweeping down into the heart of South Will
mington. several small dwellings on the east
erly side of Heald street caught fire. but were
saved from destruction. For squares around
the inmates of the houses were moving their
furniture ont into the marshes eastward Of the
town. A barrel factory, occupied by ". E.
Tuehton, on the east side of Head street, was
Quilted, but this the only important loss on
that side.
On the west side a space Of nearly 1000
feet long by 100 to 800 feet wide, occupied by
the Diamond State Iron Company and contain
ing the buildings already enumerated, devoted
to the manufacture of bar and horseshoe iron,
spikes. bolts and railway iron, completely
