A Glass House Burned.

/ About II O'Clock last Sunday night the
large glass furnace of the Whitney plant at
Glassboro, known as the sWild Cat'' house
burstcd and tons Of molten glass flowed
out, setting fire to every piece Of wood il
touched. In moment the building was
in flames, endangering the whole plant,
and in fact the entire town.
The factory whistle sounded the fire
alarm, and ithe men Of the town prompsly
responded. Cinders filled the air and
threatened surrounding property, but d
lively rain was falling and roofs and intlani-
mable substance were not in form to ignite.
and this fact undoubtedly saved great
less OF property. Our Glassbaro correspon-
dent says:
The loss is estimated at several thous-
and dollars. About one hundred men and
boys are thrown ont Of employment. The
factory will probably be Immediately
rebuilt.
