Fire, which broke out late last Sun-
day, damaged the plant of the St.
Marys Specialty Company to the ex-
tent of $15,000. Hard work by the
fireman saved the greater part of the
building, including valuable machin-
ery. The big dry kiln is a complete
loss. tie' blaze had made great head-
way when discovered and when, the
fire brigade arrived it was found that
several of the nearest hydrants were
frozen. This necessitated laying sev-
eral long-distance lines of hose and
delay greatly handicapped the Ire -
lighters. A thick fire wall, however,
prevented the fire from getting --into
theinain part of the plant. The loss
is fully covered by insurance.
