CARRIAGE FACTORY BURNED.
EckenrOde'S Factory Burned by An lncen-
diary Friday Night of Last Week.

| About 100 o'clock, on the night of Jan
uary l5. the fire alarm was sounded, causing
| a thrill of terror and horror to fall upon all,
as the night was cold and the streets and pave
meuts covered with ice, making it dangerous
| for both fremen and citizens to hurry to the
scene.
The fire was in the large carriage factory
| of John Z. Eckenrode, on George street, and
the building and contents were consumed.
When the employees quit work about p. m,
everything was in proper condition. he hre
was first discovered in the extreme end of the
building, facing Bond street, where there had
not been any fire, thus sustaining the suppo-
sition that it was the work of an incendiary.
The building was 40 by 100 feet aud two
stories high. The lower floor was filled with
new vehicles and others for repairs, and the
upper story contained a large stock of oils,
varnishes and other repairing material. When
discovered the fire had already gained con
siderable Roadway and when the fremeu ar
rived the entire building was in blaze.
The fire blazed furously and seeing Ii was
impossible to check the flames the hremen
turned the hose on the adjoining frame dwell
lings, several of which were already burning
A double dwelling owned by Mr.. Eckenrode
stood directly opposite the burning shop, but

times The dwellings of Fred. NJ. Eckenrode,
David E. Walsh and George G. Little were
directly adjoining, and it seemed as il all
we're doomed, each ofthem being on fire fire.

but was saved by the work Of the iremen.
Fortunately there was only light wind, 9th
erwise the loss would have been very great. as
blazing brands and sparks were carried ~
every direction. Watchers with buckets Of
water were stationed on the roofs Of dwellings
and stables, and but for the snow and ice
many of them could not have escaped de

since that Of 1888, when a large section Of
Westminster was destroyed. Insurance on
