BIG FIRE IN BELLEFONTE,
Eight Dwelling Houses and Bulidings of
Americsn Lime Company Swept by
Flames Late Wednesday Morning,
A fire starting in one of the manu-
facturing buildings of the American
Lime Company at Bellefonte, yester-
day (Wednesday) morning at eleven
o'clock, developed into one of the
worst conflagrations Bellefonte has
seen in a number 6f years, Eight
dwelling houses are completely de-
stroyed ; about a million feet of match
lumber, the property of the Belletoute
Match Company, several buildings of
the American Lime Co.,, 8 number of
box cars of the Pennsylvania R. K.,
also went up in smoke,
The American Lime Company's
plant is located in what is known as
Bunnyside, on the outskirts of Belle-
fonte, and on the road between the old
and new fair grounds, The Pennsyl-
vania Raillroad’s line runs along this
plant and the intense heat twisted the
rails so completely out of shape
that new rails and ties must be laid
for a stretch of several hundred feet be-
fore the cars can be run,
As the Reporter went to press three
hours after the start of the fire, it was
well under control, the Undine and
Logan fire companies doing heroic
work in combating the flames. Water
was pumped from Bpring creek which
flows nearby. The jrotracted drought
fcom which Centre couaty suffered
all summer aided Lhe flames in licking
up the property.
Among those who lost their dwell.
ing houses are ex-Commissioner John
L. Dunlap, Peter Thompson, Walter
Necholl, Mr. Haines, Mr. Murray. The
names of the other property owners
could not be learned.
The origin of the fire is unknown.
