Special to the EVENING NEWS:
NEW BRUNSWICK, Mar. 49,
A fire which started at O'Clock this
morning destroyed Janeway & Car
penter's wall paper factory, doing
100000 damage.
The blaze originated in the ship
ping department on the third floor of
the wing facing the Pennsylvania
railroad tracks. The factory covered
three sides of a square, 200 feet each
on Schuyler and Patterson streets and
the railroad. The cause is thought to
have been a defective electric light
wire The flames spread through
a shaft and the whole plant was de-
stroyed, and cinders were blown all
over the city
The company carried 100000 in
surance. and it has $750,000 in COM
mon and preferred stock. 1T is one of
the Oldest factories in New Brunswick
and fought the trust for years. 1t
employed 800 hands.
The men rushed out in. their work
ing clothes and many of them lost
their watches and tools. Yesterday
was pay day and many of the pay
checks remaining in the employees
clothes were burned.
The thirty men employed in the
block cutting department had to GO
through the shipping department and
few were burned George Ross and
Louis Robbins had their hair singed
and were burned about the head A
large amount of stock to be shipped
out next week was burned.
Had Ordered Sprinkler.
a peculiar feature of the disaster
is that the company had ordered a
patent system of fire sprinklers to
cost 1886, 900, and part of them were
ON the ground ready to be installed.
A number of valuable patterns on
the Patterson street side were soak
ed with all the water possible in an
effort, which may be successful, to
keep them intact. Some designs for
next fall, also In the Patterson street
wing, were saved.
Hose was stretched across the
Pennsylvania tracks, causing a great

department and an official of the rail
road became engaged in an argument
and the chief felled the railroad man.
The whole department was out.
Word was sent to Railway and Eliza
beth for hose. but it could not be
brought here because the Pennsyl'
vania system was tied up on account
of the hose across the track at the
scene of the fire.
