l.loooUilon, July 111.— At about 7:90
o'clock yesterday ever In* news came
by telephone to this place. that tbe

flam** and asked fur *11 help (mmrU>I*.
A crowd quickly started for the Are—
a distauce of few loile* — but before
they reached there the lire way out
Tbe blase stalled somewhere In the
machinery of the power house and near
where the pumps are gearsd to the
power. The blase wee discovered at
oaoe, but everything wss so saturated
with machine oil tbat the flamee quick
ly spread, end before the men could
get to tli* leeer that turns on the
pumps they wen drlyeu back by lieat
aud amok*. Tha situation was deeper -
ato but by trie aid of uu Iron hook the
pumia were Anally put to work. Tha
power house was attached to the main
building, end Lite (Irion* shot up oeer
Its toof sud *long Its walls. Tbe
large driving wheel continued In trn
tiuo and drove tbe smoke through tbe
bell hole. Into tbe mala betiding until
It wai Impossible for soy one In stay

U looked like llte entire mill, iu a
few hours, would be bat * fallen mass
of smoking ruins, but when the pumps
began to pour their sleadr streams of
water on the flames, it was but a short
time until tbe Are. wss under control
and out. Parts of the main driving
wheel were damaged, aud but a few
momi-uls’ delay lo getting Uu pomps
to work wou'd have cut oS aud reu
dtied useless the nuly meuuj of saving

Fire did not get inside the main
building, but It Is Impossible to give
an accurate estimate of the damage
doue from tbe heat and water. Tlu
elsetrio dynamo eras closest to the
A*'ov* and It is feared that It Is badly
damaged. The main driving belt was
drawn through tbe flamas until it was
ruined. Moat all Itie machinery in tbo
power bouse sustained some damage.
The Are U supposed to have originated
