The lire had a good hold, and eventually the flames broke through the flour. Water damaged a considerable fight in confining the outbreak to that portion of' the mill, and linally in overcoming it. The stocks at the mill included about 15,000 sacks of wheat and a few tons of flour. Water damage da considerable quantity of the wheat, estimated at between 3000 and 4000 sacks, whilst.the flour was also damaged.
