The plant of the Roanoke Mineral
Wool Company, situated beyond the ex.
treme northeastern portion of the city
beside the Shenandoah Valley tracks,
was almostsentirely destroyed by fire
last night.
The alarm was turned in from box %,
at Ninth avenue and Fourth street n. O.,
/. at IL o'clock by Officer Flick, who was
on duty on that beat. and was supposed
to have been burning a half hour before
discovered. The alatm was responded
to by the Friendship Fire Company, but
as there was no fire plugs in reach they
were powerless to stop the flames.
The origin OF the fire and the portion
OF the building it started in is not
known. When the foreman and the
men left tho plant at $3.50 last evening
there was no fire left in the furnace or
the engine room. 1t Is supposed that
some of the bagging, which was kept
from spreading by the wool, which
is fireproof that afterwards caught in
the wood framing o, tho building All
the buildings connected with the plant
except the Office wero destroyed The
loss will roach at least $4,000. The
plant originally cost $1,000. Improve.
ments were added at q cost of more
than 81, 1000, and about seventy tons of
wool valued at LOCO were packed
ready for shipping in the storage room
About seven tons OF wool were thrown
out of tho burning building and loaded
In box car.
Walter p. Huff, the secretary and
treasurer of the compey, told reporter
last night at the scene Of the fire that
he did not know the exact amount, but
was certain the insurance was not much
ever $1,000. Tho loss falls heavily on
the company at this time, as the plant
had just begun to be profitable, and
large contracts for the wool have just
been closed With different parties in the
North, and with the Navy Department
considerable mum Der OF men will bo
thrown temporarily cut of employment
until the plant can be rebuilt, which
will probably be done as soon az pos
sible. There are besides this one only
four mineral wool factories in the coun-
try, two in New Jersey and two in the
West.
Tho mandatory which was operated
at Salem for short while was burned
down about eighteen months ago

They thereupon rapturously resolved
to break away from conventionality'
bonds, swear eternal secrecy and do
something daring. They couldn't

they adjourned to a soda stand to talk
it over, while their guardian angels
wrung their white hands in trembling

girls themselves felt like awful adven-
turesses And what was it they really
did?
Well, they crossed the street to
place where some long-haired ladies
held forth. envied them their six-foot
long tresses, were coldly frozen out at
