Acadia siipes; yesterday, swept away every stracture on that side of the river in which was located the pipe shop of thi Montweal foundry company. The buililings, with the exception of the machine ship in which the fittings for water valves and other finished metal work were produced, were old. They 'covered about an acre of 'ground and formerly held the fornscek and rolling. mills of the Londonderry iron eompany. The pipe shop hud heen kept in good con dition and much valuable machinery wag in use. 'Alarge qualitity oF wa- ter pipd, of all sizes up to sixty. in ches diameter; was manufactored an nually. About forty persons were em- ployed. Fire canght in a portion of the old rolling mills and was peobab- ly started by sparks from a locome ve. A steam pump and hose carry ing water were used as far as possible and the whole afternoon was sonsumed in. the battle against the fire. The of fort was futile so far as the waod structures were concernetl, but a great deal * of advantage was reaped by carefitl protection of the machinery, most of which is saved in a slightly damaged condition. The contracts for pipe are profitable and so far as may be ascertained no cessation in the work of manuigcture will occur. New build ings will be erected for the protection of the plant and plans laid for exten sions as soon ss a mesting of the di rectors of the company can be called, | The loss to the Montreal company is largely covered by insurance, TO CROWNING OF THE XING.
