The Hemingray Glass Works Burn

to the Ground.

Muncie, Ind., June 18. - (Special.) - The Over Window Glass Works and Hemingray's Flint Glass Factory burned this afternoon. Total losses over $300,000, with about $150,000 insurance.

The fire caught from sparks of a Lake Erie & Western switch engine in a car loaded with straw. The Water Works were just building a line to the factories, but it was of no use. Both will be rebuilt.
