NEARLY A FIRE --What might have proved a disastrous oonfUgration on Sunday evening was averted by the timely notice and prompt action of sev- eral boys prorneruuling the sidewalk fue- ing the residence of Noah Cressman, which had caught fire in the sitting room caused by the bursting of a lamp which had been lighted by the son be, fore going out, the other members of the family being away and the house left vacant for some minutes. The,' table on which the lamp stood was had-l ly charred and a large hols burnt in the carpet, where. the lamp fell. The floor was also badly damaged. Waterloo, Oct. 4th V When the picker room takeslfire let the men came out of it, shut the doors, open the valve to admit a jet of steam from the boiler. This fills the room with steam ; the heat and pressure of steam excludes the air, the supply of oxygen is cut off, and the fire ceases to burn immediately. We often hear of smothering fires, such as in case of oil, varnvsh and such as water will not extinguish. What does such smother- ing mean? Simply excluding or cut- ting off the supply of oxygen. With- out oxygen there is no combustion or at least no flame. I have put such jets into several picker rooms and some of them have been severely tested but never failed in extinguishing the five, In one case just now on my mind the room took fire and the operator had to go down stairs out into the boiler room and climb up on top of the boiler to let on steam. Before he had got that done, the picker room, which was formed of board, only, was burned and all the wool in it, and the wood- work of the picker badly damaged, but the letting on of steam extlnguish- ed the fire and saved the building. This is cheap, simple, and effective. Try it. They do not occur in shoddy mills only. I has e known such fires in cus- tom carding mills while picking pure wool, but such fires are seldom known and more probably arise from matches or other substances which ignite by friction, being in the wool. Shoddy mills run hy steam, always have steam up when the picker is running, and a jet of steam, let into the room, will ex- tinguish fire more effectually than throwingi water] with] pails or other five appliances usually found on the premises. An inch steam pipe, from the boiler into the picker room, with a globe valve outside the room, if promptly attended to, is better in a shoddy mill than the best town fire ap- pliance in the country. Fire in such mills is of very frequent occurrence It cannot be attributed to carelessness or laziness , in fact the steadier a picker is fed the greater the danger of'fit'e. Such fires are from spontaneous combustion and may be expected at any moment while a pick- er 1s runmng. going up, caught fire about 11 o'ch ek and the tlamev, had got complete con- trol before the fire was discovered. The, yire'hrigade were quickly on the spot. and kept the fit'e from spreading to the neighboring buildings. The house belongs to the church property mid the loss is about $500. SOMETHING WORTH KNOW- ING. On Monday night another fire took place.

The firv, originated in the picker mom of the shnmly department. The lire brigade was summoned and prompt- _ ly respond d hut could not reach the building with the hose, on account of the distance of the hydrant from the factory. The flames made it too hot to get near with the buckets, and the brig- ade was consequently helpless. Mr Huber left on Saturday for a visit to the World's Fair and gave the charge of the factory into the hands of his two brothers. The total loss it is estimat. ed will be between $25,000 and 830,- 000. The Economical of Berlin holds a risk of $3,000 and th number of other companies risks to the amount of $5,000. Forty-five or fifty men are thrown out of employment by the fire. DISASTROUS FIRE 1N IER. LIN. Another shoddy Mill Burnt-d Aumhor Ftrc, linden J. D.
