The Manchester Cotton Mill had quite a tire Thursday afternoon, and for fifte.n minutes it looked very serious. The fire, it is believed, must have originated from a match that was in a machine that was opening some cotton in the picker room in the second stor; . As soon us discovered, however, the burning lint was cut off and blown by a machine for the purpose down the dust flue into the dust room in the basement, where tho flames raged furiously, tho blaze in tho dust flue chimney running fully fifteen feet above tho roof of the mill. Thft fire was under control in about fifteen minutes, thanks to tho per* feet working of tho automatic sprinkling system, but it burned for three hours in the dust room. The greatest danger, however, was in the room where the cotton is opened and where fifty open bales were scattered over tho floor. Tho dust flue, which is of tin, passes through that room, and a great deal of loose cotton was banked around tho flue. The flue became so hot that when the cotton was being removed from it, 1.1 1 --- -? iv U|) alarmingly, but again the sprinklers flooded the cotton with water and in an instant the flames were under con trol there. This tire was a tine test of the excellence and effectiveness of the sprinkler system. Too damage sustained was only about 5? 100, being covered by insurance. ?
