The C. H. Over Co.'s window glass factory, Muncie, Ind., was damaged $15,000 by fire last week, and the entire factory, valued at $100,000; together with the Hemingray Flint Glass Works, situated near by, would have been destroyed had not each factory had water pressure, hose, and drilled men to fight the flames the instant they were discovered. Nearly 5,000 boxes of window glass, in all stages of completion, were destroyed, and the building in this department is a total loss.
