THE HARRISvILLE FIRE.
The Loss Was Half a Million, Mostly
Covered by Insurance.

The destruction OF the HarrIsyille
woolen mill last night was the most
disastrous fire that ever visited the
town and il has cast gloom over the
entire community. The fire was dis
covered by Henry Tinkham the night
watchman in the card-room in the
main mill. The flames quickly commu-
nicated to theseveral wings, and between
and 9 o'clock the buildings fell with
terrible crash, the site of the
five mills being converted into con-
glomerate mass of burning timbers and
machinery. The main mill was 40x165
feet, stories in height on the front side
3sx200 feet, 10 feet in height extended on
the south side, and was used for
carding and dressing. There were two
other wings, 2Sx137 and 21xl00 feet,
ten and two stories in height
used for weaving and dressing. There
were 130 broad looms OF the Knowles
Crompton pattern. There We're also two
stock houses, 40xS0 and 22x40 feet, dye
house and drying room 20xS0, picker room,
80 feet square, engine house, 2oxt0 feet,
containing a 100 horse power engine and
Office building, 24xS0 feet. The buildings
were all frame structures except the
main mill. The machinery was excep-
tionally good. The entire loss is placed
at Si5O,0O0, sl25,000 on stock and $685.
600 OF machinery and buildings. The
property was insured for $3.50, 200
with $4,000 boiler insurance. There were
nearly 400 bags of wool in the stockhouses
and some $4,000 worth uninsured. The
mill was running i2h hours per week
and employed 400 hands. The annual pay
roll was $50, 900 when running full time.
The product OF wooden and
worsted goods was at the rate
OF 5000 yards per- month. The
mill has caught fire repeatedly but with
out material loss. IL Ia ascertained
from authoritative sources that
the property or at least q
part OF il will be rebuilt II the insur-
ance adjustments are satisfactory.
Thousands OF people visited the smok-
ing ruins today, arriving on every train.
The history of the mill dates from 1856,
when Job Steere and William Tinkham
purchased the plant, for $4,000.
In the years 1857 and 1860 material inn
provements were made. In 1873, the firm
consisted OF Mcssrs rinkham,
and Farweii, and in Is ~, the firm name
was Tinkham q Farwell Co, Earnest
Tinkham being admitted 10 partnership.
Mr.. Farwell retired i'm 1884,
and VIM. Tinkham Co. succeeded.
II was well furnished cstab-
lishment. Steam and water furnished the
powcr. Hcrrick q Ould are the New York
distributing firm. More than $4,000 has
been expended i'm bringing the mill 10 its
present standard OF excellence.

GRAND HAVEN, Mich, Jan. 13.-There
is open rebellion in the Seventh Day Ad-
ventists congregation in Wright town
ship near here. Heretofore the people
have been very jealous and orderly, but
now influential members boldly de-
clare their belief in the impending de-
struction of the world. At revival
meeting Miss Ella Seveay, who scandal
lied Grand Rapids last spring by appear
ing in male attire had the audacity to try
and argue the pastor down.
But that is not all. Some of the heretics
are declining to send their tithes as is the
custom with Adventists. In view OF the
financial depression they ask for six
months time, but the minister, it is al
legged, insists that the Lord must have his
due and that per cent. interest will be
charged on all tithes not paid on demand.

THE FIRES OF ONE DAY..
The Old Town of Ipswich
Almost Destroyed.
HARRISWLLE Wo0LEN MILL GONE.
il Was Burned to the Ground This
Morning, the Total Loss Being About
"a Quarter of Million Dollars
Other Fires Today.
Rn wa Aaorinted Press.

IPSWICH, Mass, Jan. 13.--The most de-
structive fire this old town has ever
known broke out at about two
O'Clock i'm the hall occupied by
the Red Men in the Jewett block, and
when it was subdued, some three hours
later, had swept away the larger part of
the business portion of tbs place, and
caused loss of S125,000.
The flames made great headway at the
outset, and the local fire department
proved utterly inadequate TO check their
progress, mainly owing TO the miserable
water supply.
Aid was soon asked of Salem,
and an engine was sent which
probably saved the whole town
from destruction. 1t was soon seen that
the Jewett block was doomed, and every
effort was made to save the Willis block
adjoining, but at 4:15 this structure was
also in flames as well as some small
store buildings next door. The old Heard
house was completely demolished, but at
this point the fire started the other way,
and the second Willis block took fire,
after the houses of Mrs. Jewett and G.. H.
Haskell had been destroyed.
BY the time the second Willis block
had been gutted the fire had been practi-
cally subdued.
The Sufferers.
In the Jewett block, where the fire
started. those who were burned out were.
Photographer Dexter, the Che
bacco Associates and j. w.
Goodhue, hardware dealers. In
the first Willis block were j. b. Melefint,
barber; the Independent Publishing COM
pany; G.. o. Amozeen, cigars
and tobacco; the Masonic hall and the
bicycle and two smaller club rooms. The
smaller store of f. t. Byron,
newsdealer, was totally destroyed.
In the second Willis block were
DIR. Keyes, dentist, DIR. A. II. Ward,
T.. l.. Harvey, harness; a tenement over
head, and G.. III. Haskell, grocers. The
loss is about s125,0O0, fairly well insured.
The weather was intensely cold and several
firemen were severely frost bitten.
