MANTON MILL FIRE.
II Will Cause No Curtailment OF the
Plants Output.
The Total Amount of Loss Is Estimated at
100000. Insured.

The Manton Mill. which had a scorching
Saturday night, is running as usual this
morning and there will be no shrinkage In
the product because OF the fire. new store
house will be built AS soon ~ possible. 1t Is
still believed that the cause of the fire was
spontaneous combustion. The night watch
man was i'm the store room at 10 o'clock, a
few moments before the fire was discovered,
and there was no indication of trouble. In n
few moments thereafter the second floor Of
the three-story wooden building was ablaze
and before the fire could Le subdued the largo
store house was destroyed, entailing loss of
about $4,000, The fremen were on the spot
quickly, but the infammable contents of the
building fed the fire so readily that IL was inn
possible to do anything with the burning
building. second alarm brought enough
apparatus to prevent the spreading Of the fire,
which threatened the whole mill, and the at
tention of the fremen was directed TO the sur
rounding valuable property.
The heat was so intense that IL set the au.
tomato sprinklers in an ell Of the main mill
going, and before the water could be- shut off
goods in process of manufacture were dam
agei to the extent OF about s30,0O0 making
the total damage about s60 OOOJ. The Manton
mill, owned and operated by Horace A. Kim
ball. Is located Just within the city limits
on the woonasquatucket river, Olneyville. 1t
is n new structure and employs about 500
hands, who are exceedingly gratifed today be-
cause the fire did not cut off thoir opportunity
to gain livelihood.
The loss is fully covered by insurance. The
product OF the mill is 20 pieces Of finished
goods day. There are 1876 looms, wooen
and worsted, principally the latter. The
main mill with the ellis Is 400 feet long, the
part adjoining the burned stockroom being
$50 feet in length. The old mill is % feet
long. The MantoE Mill is considered up.to-
date and one of the best in the state.
