 Top of Structure.

The engine and ten freight cars jumped the track, and a corner of the station building was knocked off. No one was hurt. The cars were bad ly jumbled up and the wreckers from Waterbury and New Haven were needed to restore order and open up the line for traffic.

spectacular and destructive fire s that did dan.age estimated by Chief William J. Noble at between $5,0oO md ss.obO, was discovered shortly NIfter i o'clock this afternoon at the woodworking factory of John Pinches & Sons in the rear of 67 Church street. The plant occupies a two story brick structure owned by the K. W. Hadley estate, and is directly in back Of the Herald building. x Tho discovery of tho fire was made by James Doyle. who conducts a liv- axy stable nearby. After sending for the fire department, MT. Doyle and several other men tried to extlnguish the flames with pails of water. This was of no avail. and an alarm we6 turned in from Box 25. at about 1928. The entire department responded.
 :, Bremen Find Brisk Blaze.
 When the fire fighters arrived on tho scene, they found a brisk blaze in the northwest corner of the building. directly over the boiler room and one Of tho drying kilns. Heavy volumes of smoke rolled from the entire top of the structure. Owing to tho condi- lions, the Are proved q stubborn one for the firemen to combat. and 1t was Dnly by Iut ulIt OI NE&tt Ine flames were confined to the boiler room and kiln But very little fire damage was done in the other part of tho factory.
 The loss to the stock sJn ba heayy. there being considerable finished goods near where the blaze was and this loss was caused principally by ~nter damage.
 The plant closed as usual this noon for the remainder of the day. Everything was all right at that time, John Pinchcs, ST., and his son. Richard Pinches, were at the scene soon after the alarm had sounded. Valuable Property Endangered.
 IL was fortunate that the fire was discoveked SO soon. for with a little more headway. ! serious confiarration might have occurred. Surrounding the building where the fire was located are such valuable properties as the Hotel Beloin. tho Luddy block, the Herald Publishing Company building, and the Calumet block.
 John Pinchcs said this afternoon chnt considerable of the finished stock was for the new Swedish Bethany church.
 Fireman Edward Carlson. a mem- bcr of the City Service Ladder com pRny. was overcome from the effects of the heavy smoke. He was rendered hors de combat for time. He was given first aid treatment and later re- covered.
