II was nearly two hours before control
Of the fire was gained. Several thousand
dollars worth Of lumber in all its fn-

there was blanket insurance TO partly
cover the loss.

which was raging all the morning, the
entire plant would have been undoubt-
edly wiped out The Are department
at Berlin was placed in readiness to
come TO Lisbon, had its services been
needed.
The reservoir belonging to the plant
was exhausted in forty minutes, and Il
was feared that the supply Of water
from the village system would not be
adequate, but it proved equal to the
emergency. The two large main mills
were In great danger.
About 10 o'clock snow began TO fall,
and a very heavy damp snow covered the
roofs thickly, thus preventing danger
from sparks TO q great extent.
The dry house burned was built four
years ago, In place OF the one that was
burned at that time.
The loss viii be about $25, 900, fully
