Saturdays Rainfan saved the Town.

SNOW HILL, Md, Dec 20.-The sea
side canning factory at Berlin, Worcester
county, was destroyed by fire on Satur-
day night about 70 o'clock. The fire
originated, it is supposed, somewhere
about the engine-room, as a fire had
been made in the furnace on that day
and the machinery had been oiled up
with the view Of laying it by
for the winter The loss is
5000. There was but $4,000 insurance
A great deal Of the seasons pack Of to.
matoes had already been shipped. but
quite nulnber of cases were yet in the
building. These were destroyed, to-
gether with a large quantity of tin plate,
manufactured cans and all the machinery.
The building belonged TO Mrs Hattie l..
Derrickson, and was not insured. The
plant was being operated by the Seaside
Canning Company, composed OF Messrs.
e. S. Furbush, Severn Murray and Powell
Pattey. When discovered the fire was
well under way, but the people turned
out and fought the flames heroically,
The heavy rainfall of Saturday no doubt
saved the town from total destruction.
