FIRE IN COTTON MILL.
Greenvills Engines Calico
Out Again Last Night
Slight Damage.

A fire broke out about nine o'clock last
evening in the cotton mills of James
Chadwick & Sons, at the foot of Green
Vile avenue, near the Newark Bay. The
residents We're alarmed, fearing another
fierce fire like that of Monday morning.
Large piles of cotton caught fire and
smouldered long after streams Of water
were poured on. The bremen worked I'M
til midnight before they succeeded in
extinguishing the blaze.
The engines were unable to make any
Roadway through the huge snowdrifts.
Hook and Ladder No. 4 got stuck in a
drift at the Boulevard and Greenville
avenue. That is as far as the truck went.
Engine No. IS. stationed on Linden ave-
nue., reached the scene about ten min
utes after the alarm was sent in. The
roads are heavy and fast time was inn
possible. The engine reached the foot of
the street just back of the burning build
ms.
The fire started in a two-story brick ex-
tension which runs almost to the canal
and is about fifty feet in length. In this
structure are a number Of cotton picking
machines. located on the top floor. The
blaze started in a pile of cotton in a
corner of the room. The Waterman on a
return trip smelled smoke.
A citizen heard the ~watchman's cries,
hurried to the fire box, a distance of half
a mile, and sent in an alarm.
Meanwhile several employees attached a
hose to the fire apparatus in the factory
and turned a stream into the burning
cotton. The firemen soon had several
more streams pouring into the burning
building. Firemen broke in the windows
and Investigated.
They found huge piles of smouldering
cotton. Several times it was thought that
the fire had been put out, but each time
it broke out afresh and streams had to
be turned on the smouldering cotton. 1t
was not until after midnight that the fire
was ~extinguished. The amount of the
damage cannot be ascertained, but it is
thought that several hundred dollars
worth Of cotton was destroyed by fire and
water.
The automatic sprinklers in the building
were used to good advantage shortly
after the room became hot enough to
melt the wax on the pipes from which the
water flowed. AT no time was there any
danger of a serious confiagration.
The extension is shut off from the main
building by ~fireprocf doors. The blaze
was at no time near the doors.
The mill is one of the largest in the
State. Half a thousand girls are employ
ed there daily. and the output is very
large. The building covers an immense
site. 1t was built about eight years
ago. The cause of the blaze is unknown.
