Hurley Breweries Burned.

At Hurley, fire destroyed the brewery
owned by Mcclellan Bros, and the pop
works of Fred Neibuhr, entailing consid-
cradle loss to both parties. A stiff wind
was blowing from the north and to this
fact was due the saving Of the entire town
from destruction, as the brewery was COM
pletely enveloped by flames when the
switching engines gave an alarm. Two
horses were burned. NJ. G. Mcclellan
says his loss is about $4,000. Neibuhr's
loss is 81 800 and his insurance 5000. The
pop works will probably be rebuilt. The
origin Of the fire is unknown.
