LEwIsDuRd. Fob. "a Monday morn
Ing blaze laid almost the entire plant
Of Lewisburg Furniture and Planning
Mill Company In ashes. The dry house
and paint shop, which were short dis
lance from the main works, were the
only buildings saved.
The fire originated from the explos-
ion OF a lantern in the hands oil the
night watehman, William ]. Fry, whose
clothing Immediately caught fire.
Dropping the lantern, he hlstened to
tho pump TO extinguish the fire on his
own person, and in the meantime the
building caught from the lantern. The
light in the factory attracted loco
motive stoker, who was firing I'D nenr
by. He fastened toward the fire and
found Waterman Fry lying exhausted
near the building, with his clothing
partly torn of. Mr. Fry was severity
burned. and he died from the results
Of the Injuries at noon to-day.
Thelcompany employed seventy men,
and had monthly pay roll of S25O0.
The loss is peculiarly unfortunate in
that the stock of the company was
largely made up of the small holdings
OF persons employed IN the works.
For this reason 1t Is believed the plant
will not be rebuilt. The works were
running full capacity. and the bust
ness was never in better condition.
