lewiston, January 29.-At 8. 40 O'Clock
this evening fire broke out in R. G.
Pingrees and company's wood working
mill and spread so rapidly that 1t became
the most disastrous blaze that has Wis
tied Lewiston since the City building
burned five years ago. The fire caught
in the storehouse near the Maine Central
railroad, presumably from sparks from
an en- gins This building burned rapidly
| and soon spread to the engine house and
THEN TO THE MILL.
The fire at this time became 30 hot that
the fremen were forced to retreat. A
second and third alarm was rung in call
ing out the full Lewiston department., as
we'll as that of Auburn. 1t was hard
fight to keep the large Bates mill from
catching, and 1t took all the efforts Of
the fire fighters to keep it from spread
Ing in that direction. While the blaze
was being checked there it spread rapid
ly toward Main street and the large store
house containing $4,000 worth of valuable
seasoned lumber was soon q mass of
flames. Once more the fire laddies were
COMPELLED TO MOVE BACK
and intense excitement prevailed among
the anxious throng of spectators, as it
surely looked as If the fire would have
clean sweep to Main and Canal streets
Before eleven O'Clock, however, the fire
was under control, and had been confined
to the buildings in Pingree's yard. Five
buildings We're destroy ed in all, the store
house. the engine house, the mill, the
large storehouse and the Office

Only about one-eighth of of this was
covered by insurance. The amount being.
about $500, 600. The annual output of the
company is over half million, and about
so men are employed. Before the break
ing out of the fire twenty largo contracts
were under way, and all the mills were
Iunning at their full capacity. Several
wooden buildings between the wood yard
and the canal caught fire several times
and every energy had to be put forward
to keep thai whole section of the city
from going.
A falling smokestack fell near several
spectators, and 1t was at first thought
that they might De fatally hurt. AS near
as can be ascertained, however, no one
was seriously injured. One of the worst
features OF the fire was the intense heat
which prevented effective work by the
department.. At eleven O'Clock the fire
was under complete control, but the
piles of burning embers and storehouses
made an immense smouldeirng furnace
cove ring full an acre.
