BIG FIRE AT STILL RIVER.

BIG FIRE AT STILL RIVER.
For the third time in six years a fire
broke out at the factory of the Bridge
port Wood Finishing Co. at Still River,
about I O'Clock Monday night. The
fire started in the drying room and
soon spread, totally destroying the main
building and offices. The fire could be
seen for miles around. The loss will
reach into thousand of dollars. The
buildings and machinery were heavily
insured. Several of the New Milford
firemen went down to the scene and
rendered value ble assistance. AS the
result of gold work the substantial
brick buildings erected year ago'were
saved from destruction. 1t is reported
they will rebuild, using brick and iron
Orders. 1t would be calamity if
they should decide not to rebuild as it
is one of the flourishing industries of
the town. The concern has just COM
pleted a model brick factory for their
Japan department, located about 300
feet south of the burned building. The
fire came at a bad, time, as they were
rushed with their spring work, but as
the company has another grinding fac
tory at Branchville this will doubtless
help them out of their dilemma. MI
Breinig is one of the highly esteemed
business men Of the town, and he
doubtless will push ahead in his well
known vigorous manner.
