Workmen from Worcester have been at work this week repairing one of the main boilers at the Central mill. Water was drawn of from the boiler Saturday night and the fire box filled with wood. | according to custom. In some way the wood became ignited and heated the boil CT, causing 1t to leak in one or two places. The damage Is not serious, and the mill has run as usual with steam from the other boiler until to-day, with the exoep- ton that some of the machinery has been run outside of the regular hours. To-day the sound boiler Is not in use, as the repairs on the other have reached a stage where the heat Is not desirable.
