Five Hour Battle. Firemen battled with the flames for almost five hours before they finally extinguished the blaze. The fire first was discovered at about noon, when flames were seen issuing from the gas producing plant. Employes in the brick kiln® which was working at that time, endeavored to fight the blaze but it was too much for 'them and at 12:58 p. m. the fire department was notified. Chief W. J. Noble and Engine Company No. 2 re- sponded immediately but were de- layed in getting a strearh of water directed on the fire because of diffi- culties encountered in pumping water from the brickyard pond. By the time a steady stream of water was being played on the burning build- ings practically the entire plant was like a roaring furnace. Because of the necessity of pumping water from the pond, only one line of hose could be laid and water was pumped through at the rate of 500 gallons a minute steadily for four hours. Equipment Saved. Practically all of the more val- wable machinery was saved although somewhat damaged by heat and wa- ter, and, by using strenuous efforts, firemen managed to save the.$10,000 worth of electric equipment, includ- ing several transformers and genera- tors, In the generator room. Freight Cars Destroyed. Four freight cars loaded with brick and ready for shipment, as well as a 500 foot frame shed and thousands of _dollars’ worth of cord wood were totally destroyed. The wood had been: piled up alongside of the shed. Fire- men at one time extinguished the fire in the corl wood so as to run a line of hose through, but flamés spring- inz up in the rear became so intense that they found themselves almost cut off and for a time it seemed as though the; would be forced to aban- * don the hose. . Some damage was done to the of- fice and it is thought some of the records might have been lost, but practically everything in the desks and filing cabifets was saved. Much of the less valuable machin- ery was a complete loss and the entire electrical equipment, with the excep- tion of that included fn the generator room was destroyed. More than 100,- 000 finished. brick, piled and ready for shipment were ruined by the ter- rific heat and the action of the water following and were rendered useless. Was Spectacular Sight. Despite the fact that the brick- wyard was located down in a hollow, flames shot away up into the sky and were seen for miles around. Hun- dreds of people were attracted to the scene of the blaze by vast volumes of smoke rolling skywards. The fight, prior to the arrival of the firemen, was directed in person by Henry Donnelly. general manager. Mr. Donnelly and has assistant, Henry Rose, of Broad street, had - just left the brickyard when called back by telephone to find portions of the plant rapidly being reduced to a mass af smouldering ruins. Residents in the neighborhood quickly ran to the aid of the brick- yard people with axes, water buokets, etc., but founl themselves unable to " cope with the fast spreading flames. Was Well Insured. Mr. Donnelly ‘estimated the loss to ‘be about $200,000, mostly covered by insurance. ‘While being am old corporation, founded many years ago by Michael Donnelly, father of the president gen- eral manager, thé Donnelly Brick company completely rebuilt the plant last winter, starting in June, 1921 ,with one of the most modernly equip- ped plants in Lhii section of the coun- try. Among the various improyements added were $50,000 worth of new ma- chinery, including .the American- Dressler tunnel (kiln of the railroad type and knowr as the last word in brick making. / At S e SMUTS [CANNOT ATTEND. petown,’ Oct. 17. — Definite an- nent/ is made, that owing to C.

Harian sued Saturday in the Su- preme Court for separation from Ken- neth Harlan, motion picture actor, of 119 West Forty-fifth street. They were married June 26, 1920, at Port Chester N. Y. Beginning last Christmas Day, Mrs. Harlan alleges, her husband in- flicted so many”cruelties that she can- not enumerate them. Is Real Cave Man Though Harlan, as far as could be learned, is teatured in sedate parts in the films, his wife paints him as a cave man extraordinary. On Decem- 17, 1921, ber 81, she alleges, ho threw hor against a window so that the glaes was smashed. On January 24, sho sayy, he threw her down in the street, Mrs., Harlan says her husband's in- come is $35,000 a year. Was Popular Here Kenneth Harlan will be remembered by many local people as a former stock company star at the Lycoum, with the so-called Lyceum Players who succeeded the Alfred Croes Play- ers. Young, debonaire and not at all un- pleasant either in flgure, personality or agtion, Kenneth Harlan goon mado spotlight of local theatrical fame and in one of the first roles, that of the Virginian in the play of that name, he made a distinct hit with local theater going people. During the en- tire season this young actor held the spotuight of local theatrical fame ang was also well thought of socially, find- ing the welcome mat on many door steps brushed off for him. After leaving this city Harlan con- tinued in stock, then went into the movies. He has been seen in pictures which have been shown here.
