Company Is DESTROYED.

Wilkes Barre. Aug. 26--The planning
mill Of the George s. limerick COM
pany, Of White Haven. was burned to
the ground about o'clock Sunday
morning. The fire Is thought to be the
work Of incendinaries. The fire was
first noticed by a car inspector en-
ployed near the mill on the Jersey
Central road. 1t started In the stock
room, and when first seen the whole
interior of the room was ablaze. The
railway men and the people Of the vii
lage did what they could to stop the
progres of the fire and save movable
property. but the fire burned SO fiercely
that they were practically helpless.
The mill was established In Septem-
Der. 1892. and has been run steadily
ever since. Sometimes the orders came
In so fast that 1t was kept going night
and day. The mill represented Mr..
Emerick's ideas, Much of the machin.
cry used was of his own invention. and
he gave Il constant care. He had
brought II to such state of perfec-
tion that with ten men he secured a
larger output than n $780, 900 Philadel-
phia plant could produce with thirty
five men. The capacity Of the mill
lately has been $50 tons per week.
The value of the plant stock and fac
Ing on hand was $4,000, on which there
IL an insurance Of only $4,000. The
firm was negotiating for 5000 more
insurance.

strength to keep the vessel afioat, but
ther were unable to do So as sufficient
water got Into the hold to absorb the
salt which formed the ballast. Distress
signals were displayed when II was dis

time as to how long the Axel could re-
main afloat.
On Aug 15 the boats were made ready
for launching and during the afternoon
Of the same day the Elizabeth hove In

pected that the Axel would sink within
