CHAIR SHOP GONE.
Disastrous Morning,
Fire in South Ash
burnham.
THOMPSON WHITNEY.
Loss Will Reach 1926, 900,
Which Many Employees
Will Feel.
THOMPSON WHITNEY.

South Ashburnham, Oct. 5.-The AL
-Thompson- Whitney Company chair
shop, directly across the tracks from
South Ashburnham depot, was COM
pletely destroyed by fire early this
morning, involving a loss of $780,
900, which is covered by 100000 insur-
ance.
The fire was discovered at 3.15 a. m.
by the night Waterman, in the top floor
near the centre of the building. After
an Intellectual attempt to check it with
a line of fire hose, the Waterman sound
ed the alarm, and the entire village was
aroused.
The department, consisting of two
old-fashioned hand tubs, manned by
companies of villagers, worked hard to
extinguish the f1ameS using for a water
supply water tank owned by the
Fitchburg Railroad, and a branch Of the
Nashua river several hundred feet to
the rear of the building.
Not until the walls of the building
fell in did they turn their attention to
the Fitchburg passenger station, the
roof of which was badly scorched. Sew
eral barrels of paint, oil and varnish
in the centre of the main mill building
took fire, and about the time the hand
tubs arrived, fianling9 streaksa of the
burning liquid shot Idne all directions,
and furnished communication for the
fire to all the departments of the build
ing.
The work of saving the railroad sta
ton was accomplished amid great diff
ficulty, on account of the intense heat
from the burning mill building, and it
was only under protection of large
screens that the firemen were able to
prosecute the work.
Help was summoned from Fitchburg,
and Assistant Engineer r. G. Eaton, in
charge of 10 men. one steamer and a
hose carriage, arrived on special train
at 4.5O, but the work of the fire had
been accomplished, and nothing but a
brick chimney, brick boiler house and
a mass of smouldering ruins were left,
and the apparatus was not unloaded
from the train.
The structure destroyed was of wood,
four stories high, 150x400 feet, erected
in 1890, and was used solely for the
manufacture of chairs and gave en-
ployment to 40 hands.
Many employees lost valuable tools.
l.. f. Pelsue. a member, of the Ash
burnham fire department, was serious
ly burned about the face and head by
an explosion of oil or gasoline and 1t
is feared that his eyesight may be in
jured.
A rushing business was being done at
the present time 100 persons being EN-
ployed. The hope of the community is
that the works will be rebuilt, as the
loss entirely would be bad one to the
men employed, so of whom reside in
Ashburnham Centre.
