An Extensive Woolen Mill Earned.
liast evening about six o’clock, a fire
broke out in the extensive woolen mill of
Tam pc Armstrong, located nearJDuy’s Lane
Station, on the Germantown railroad in the
Twenty-second Ward. The establishment
covers three-quarters of an acre of ground,
and comDrlaes three buildings, all
connected together forming an L. There is
an old mill, two stories in height, and two
new structures, one four stories and the
othu h e»stories. The structures are all
atone, and were built in the most substau
tial manner. The mills have been engaged
lately in making cassimeres and balmorat
originated in the picker room
in one of the new buildings, and spread
rapidly through the structure. There was a
strong northwest breeze prevailing at the
time and the flames were soon communi
cated to the other buildings.
The tire companies in Germantown were
promptly on the ground. The bright light
caused by the fire also attracted to thesceue
the companies from Frankfordand several
from the upDer part of the city also reached
the spot. The steamers of the Fellowship
and Franklin companies of Germantown,
and Decatur and Washington companies of
ITrankford were in service. The William
Penn Hose Qompany’s steamer was present
but did not go into service. The.Kesoiution
Hose and Good Intent engine companies
from the city were also on the ground.
The only water to be obtained was from a
creek adjacent to the mills. This was frozen
ever, and holes had to be cut in the ice to
allow the water to be drawn. The firemen
■worked energetically, but were unable to
save the mills or their contents.
The fire raged furiously for nearly two
hours, and the sparks were wafted nearly
half a mile, setting fire to some of the dry
leaves in Duy’s woods.
The mills were completely gutted, and
the'eontenta were almost entirely destroyed.
Nothing remains this morning but the bare
walla and a portion of the machinery in a
greatly damaged condition.
The machinery in the establishment was
very valuable, being almost entirely new,
mm made in the modem style. It was
nearly all destroyed or ruined.
The total loss;is estimated at §lOO,OOO
and is partly covered by insurance.
About 150 hands were employed in the
mills, bnt nearly all had left before the fire
commenced. . • ......
As before stated, the flames originated m
the picker room. One of the workmen was
carrying a bundle of wool upon his shoul
der. The wool was accidentally brought in
.contact with a gaslight and took fire. The
man thoughtlessly > cast the burning
wool upon the floor,.and the whole room
.was in a blaze in a fsw minutes, the flames
getting beyond the control of the few per
sons who were present. Two men were se
verely burned—the one who was carrying
the bundle and another who went to his as
sistance.
