worst fires in this city in recent years
that of tonight in which the large
plant of the Wayne agricultural works
suffered heavy loss and $50 men are
thrown out of employment in the worst
time OF year that men can be idle
The fire broke out early in the evening.
The flames were first seen in the paint de-
partment They spread rapidly east and
north until the original plant was all in
cluded. and il was only by the hardest kind
OF work that the new portions were saved.
The section burned included a wareroom
with large amount of goods ready for

entire plant, including a yard Of many
thousands of dollars worth Of lumber
would go. The loss is cOnservatively esti-
mated at $4,000. 1t is fully covered By
insurance.

sdered low, and all the new bids, including
that of Dawes, were far in excess of the

the service, in many ways, costs more. The
grocers were not inclined to advance the
compensation and rejected the bids. and
will ask for new tenders. If the figures
are excessive they will return TO the indi-
