 The fire ragged from I:45 o'clock this afternoon until nearly o'clock tonight Available fire fighting ap- paratuh was utterly inadequate. the flames eating their way through the flimsy frame structures thrown up during the early days of the town last summer, like so much finder
 Several times sparks set fire to mule sheds of the explosive factory. but the flames which followed were quickly eXtinguished
 When it seemed that the town was doomed and the plant endangered, orders were issued suspending all operations and the factory closed down. The shift then at work was set to work protecting the buildings from flying sparks The greatest danger was from woods near by which caught fire and were still burn ing tonight
 At 1 o'clock in the afternoon one ! half of the towns water supply was cut off when poles which held al poD- tion of the high tension cable of the Du Pont Company collapsed snap ping the wires which feed the current to the Appomattox River Eli pumping station.
