$4,000 Loss at Brandon.
The Mil at the Italian Marble Works
Burned, Throwing 100 Men out OF
Employment.

Il
Burned, Throwing 100 Men out OF
Employment.
The most disastrous fire at Brandon in
years occurred Saturday morning, when
the large mill at the Brandon Italian mar
Die works was totally destroyed. The fire
started overhead in the engine ROOM and
was discovered just as the men were going
to work at o'clock in the morning. In a
few minutes the flames spread the entire
length of the mill and burned iercely, as
the woodwork was thoroughly saturated
with oil. The steam pump could not be
started, as the fire was in the engine room.
The Dunmore hose company was sum
moned from Brandon village, but the fire
was beyond control before the firemen
reached the mill They succeeded, how
ever, in saving the finishing shop This
was a 1G gang mill, 200x12 feet, story
and half high The fire is supposed to
have caught from overheated shafting.
The loss is estimated at from 500, 900 to
$50, 600, and the insurance was $4,000
This company employed about 100 men,
nearly all of whom will be thrown out Of
employment. 1t is expected that the mill
will be rebuilt soon.
