The little town of Burlington, situated
about a mile above Martins Ferry. was
visited by a destructive fire last evening by
which the Don canning factory and two
frame dwelling houses were entirely con-
sumed, with part of their contents.
The blaze originated about O'Clock IN
some manner in the canning factory. Mr..
Abel Dore, a sister-in-law OF Philip Len
ards who resides just above the factory,
had gone out in the back or the house for
SON thing, when she saw a small blaze
Issuing from the roof of the factory. She
told Mr.. Lenard, and he gave the alarm.
Many willing hands were upon the scene
in a short time, and they put forth their
best efforts with their bucket brigade TO
quench the fire, but to no avail. Finally
they gave up trying TO save the factory
and turned their attention toward saw
ing the dwelling on either side of it,
The dwelling on the north side. owned
by Mrs. Mary Jump and occupied by
Scott Hull and family, caught fire and
was burned to the ground within an hour.
on the south side was three roomed
house owned by T. j. Smith and occupied
by Mr.. and Mrs. Charles Richards, who
at present are away on o pleasure trip.
The brave volunteer firemen worked with
might and main TO save this dwelling, but
II was no use, for 1t was licked up by the
flames.
All attempts at saving these dwellings
being futile. they worked hard to keep the
flames from spreading. and at this they
succeeded only through superhuman ef-
fort. The dwelling of Mr.. PARROT Jump
stands almost up against the house occu-
pied by Charles Richards. A couple of
carpets were hung down over the side of
Mr.. Jumps home and these were kept
soaked with water, and in this manner
the house was saved.
A greater part of the household goods
from the two houses destroyed was
saved. The Don Canning Co. are losers
TO the extent of $11, 900. This includes the
value of the factory. machinery and the
stock that was in the factory. Mr.. Col
Inns, the secretary. when seen by the Reg
lister correspondent, said the factory was
valued at 5000, machinery at $500 and
stock of cans and canned goods in the
place with other articles, at $500. The
insurance carried is $1,000. Heretofore
they ndu Always taken ouL sllOl HiiS
policies during their canning season, but
this year they failed to do so. The entire
loss. including the two dwellings. will
reach $4,000. 1t could not be learned last
evening whether the owners of the
houses had any insurance on,them.
The origin OF the fire is a mystery. No
one was able to say how it caught.
There was no fire in the factory except
small gasoline gas blaze used to solder
lids on the cans, and this was put out
when they quit work at o'clock in the
evening. and for that reason many queer
suspicious were set afoat.
