q o'ciock fire was discovered In tire rear
OF the building, and the alarm was at
orce turned In. There seemed to be
some confusion In the location. the nrst
alarm being for the Second ward. Inc
matter was quickly Strengthened, how
ever. and the firemen were soon on the
SPOT. and had four or five streams play
ing on the burning structure. The origin
OF the fire Is unknown. but IL is supposed
to have occurred from spontaneous COM
bustjon. The factory had not been nj
work for several weeks. and was TO nave
started I'D this morning. No n was
I'm the building yesterday, and the IRE
was first seen In the end where the
shucks were stored. There seems TO be
no reasonable ground for supposing that
tho fire was the result of incendlarism.
The rear end OF the building was burned
completely out, only the brick walls OF
the structure. which was only one story
high. being left. There was some htie
machinery In this end OF the building,
and this will be considerably damaged.
The roof over about half Of the house
vas saved, and the bulk Of the machinery
viu no, he hurt very much. The
damage was thought to b. about 5000.

surance.
