The fire was first discovered at about half- past nine o'clock by the private watchman who haz the nightly custody of several large factories and stores in the vicinity. The fire was first seen in the engine room, where the watchman had Been only fifteen or twenty minutes previously. Before the firemen could get their apparatus to work the flames had attained a headway which the most persevering efforts failed to tubdue before the entire works were involved in the flery element. The oily condition of the floors, added to the extra combustible nature of the contents of the buildings, enableu the flames to sw-ep through with irresistinle fury. Shortly after nine o'clock the fire reached a section of the works where one thousand two hondred barrels of o:1 were stored, and, urged on by a. strony northerly breeze, it was apparent that nothin, could avail to save any of the property. The lary flames lit up the —, and could be seen for miles around. with great fury from nine to [Or eleven o'clock, when the firemen, who had labored from the commencement hke trac herees, obtained a partial mastery over it. The buildings comprising fhe works were separated, and had ‘it nét been for the uncommon character of their con- tents the fire could have been confined to the engine room, where it originated, Even then the loss would have been considerable, as the engine, a large one, of one ndred horse power, was, With the machinery which it in, vatued at nearly $150,000 From she engine room the flames spread to the por- tion of the building where the lead is und, where the crade lead is put throuch a process which prepares it for the kegs.

The fire soom reached the main building, which fronted on Marshall street, and was one hundred by three hundred feet in extent, and five stories in height. Here it was arrested, but not until the most va'uabie portion of the works were destroyed, involving a loss roughly est- mated at half a million of dollars, It is said by Mr. Bell, the superintendent of the works, that there is no doubt. 1t will exceed this by two bundred thousand do!- Jars when the inventory of damages and the account of total loss to stock and buildings are fully made wp.
