On January 16, C. H. Over, of the Over Window Glass Co., Muncie, Ind., filed suit in the Deleware [sic] Delaware Circuit Court to obtain $100,000 damages from the Lake Erie & Western Railroad Co. In June 1892, the Over factory and the Hemingray glass factory were destroyed by fire, involving a loss of $250,000 and it is alleged a spark from a Lake Erie & Western switch engine started the fire. If Over secures damages the Hemingray Co. will institute a similar suit. Over has secured $50,000 insurance and affected companies are assisting in the suit.
