Wind Storm makes terrible noise of the corrugated tin at Hemingray's

THE WIND

Blew Through the Rooflets

Out at Industry,

CAUSING MUCH DAMAGE

Rall [sic] Ball Bros.' Glass Works and

Gill Bros.' Pot Factory

Suffer the Worst.

This morning about 1 o’clock the terrific wind lifted the roofs from portions of Ball Bros.' factories.

The tin roof and rafters were blown from the new brick building recently added to the north end of the tin stamp­ing works. It covered the stock room and the building was left without a cov­ering.

The tin was blown off the top of the north end of the stamping works. The rafters were not moved in this portion. The large building, known as Balls factory No 1, stood the force but it was thought for a few minutes that the en­tire building would come down and the men were ordered to quit work and leave the factory.

Mr. Ed Ball and Supt. Bingham were notified and with the assistance of men fastened a block and tackle to the south end of the large building and held it fast. The top of the building, which is constructed almost entirely of iron, had blown to the north about 20 inches.

They also tied down the remaining roofs on the stamping works and it is thought they will hold.

It is impossible to estimate the loss but it will amount to several thousand dollars.

GILL BROS.' ROOF WENT.

The roof of Gill Bros.' pot factory, lo­cated just south of Ball Bros' factory No. 2 was blown off. There was a tin roof on this building and portions of the frame work was carried away with the tin. Their men are also at work fastening down what is remaining of the frame work.

The corrugated iron and tin on C. H. Over's and Hemingray's factories was making a terrific noise and it is feared that the roofs may go from these buildings also.
