The buildings consumed Dby the fire were the main brick factory, the gaso- line engine structure, the tenemeny house and a barn. There was fear tk the houses in that section of .the vil- lage would all be destroyed and from many the household effacts were re- moved as a precautionary measure, The old Owen mill building on the Richmongd side of the river caught fire from the floating .embers, but was protected by the fire fighting appara- tus connected with that plant. For a distaace of a mile houses were endan- gered and the roof of the Locustville mill, half a mlile distant, took fire and was burning briskly when discovered. It was extinguished, however, before sarious damage resulted. The loss estimated at $200,000, and is part insured.
