PLAINFIELD’S $10,000 FIRE.
Eight Buildings Burned in Center of
Business Section.
PLAINF‘IELD. Conn. May 4.-One
of the most destructive fires that this
town has ever witnessed broke out
about, 3:30 yesterday afternoon at the
rear of the Plaintieid Foundry Co.'s
building in the Main street of the
town. in a short space of time at ht
buildings had been burned, these or-
mtng a cluster near and adjoining the
foundry, and all belonging to J. B.
Noyes, of Cincinnati, Ohio.’ The foun-
dry company’s building was about 150
by 100 feet. and was of frame. three
stories high, It burned like a tinder
box and the volunteer fire department
had no chance to save it. _
Adjoining the foundry was a board
ing house run by George Scht and
this, too, was burned to the ground.
A barn and two or three small out-
buildings were destroyed and also an
unused building next to the foundry.
it is thought that the fire started
from a spark of a locomotive which
passed the place shortly before the
tire was discovered. The spark evi-
dently landed on the roof of the rear
ofthe large building and the flames
were seen there first. Fanned by a
strong wind. the flames licked up the
wooden buildings in short order al-
though a large proportion of the town
turned out to lend a band.
A small shoemaker's shop which
was in. the group of building: was the
last to go. this following the burning
of Mr. Sweet‘s boarding house. Con-
siderable furniture was saved. but all
the machinery and some stores in the
foundry were lost. The buildings. it
was stated to-day were but up sever-
al years ago at a cost of $10,000 and
it is believed that the total loan by the
tire will reach that figure. The ice-
ls partly covered by insurance.
On account of the falling timbers.
telephone and telegraph wires were
broken and for some time communi-
cation with the town was cut off» but
repairs were made late in the after- .
noon.
The Plainfield foundry had not been
running during the last eix'monthn on
aocoui of a dearth of business and it
formerly employed about so hands.
