Ironton, Ohio, September "a tremen-

ard for a time the entire city seemed
doomed. At Z o'clock the saw mill OF
Newman & Spencer was discovered on
fire. Before the fire department reached
the scene the flames had extended to the
lumber yards The long drouth had made
everything so combustible that the flames
swept everything The fire soon also
wiped out the mills and lumber yards OF
the Pennsylvania Lumber company. The
local fire department was unable to cope
with the flames aud neighboring towns
were asked for relief.
At 10 p. m. at which hour help arrived.
ten acres that had formerly been occupied
by business blocks, were mass Of blazing
ruins. The local flremen gained courage
with the arrival Of reinforcements and
both surrounded the fire with long lines
of hose and soon practically had the fire
under control. although the conllagraiion
will hardly subside before morning.
The total loss is estimated at from
5000 900 to 100000, with hardly half that
amount OF insurance An area of three
squares in length and two squares back
from the river was entirely destroyed,
There were no casualties.
