BUILD-ING.Magog, Aug.14—(Special)—Fire bruke out yesterday morning about six o'clock in the mill belonging to Manton & Boright, with the result that the entire buildings are a total loss.On the fire being discovered an alarm was immediately sent in and the tire brigade responded.Willing hands were soon at work in an endeavor to save the property but it was found that nothing c uid be done to save the building and the attention of the workers was directed towards saving the adjoining properties and the contents of the mill.The house next to the mill had an iron roof and this certainly saved it from igniting.A goodly portion of the contents of the mill was saved although in a somewhat damaged condition.The loss will amount to about 850(H), and Messrs.Manson A Boright carried only 81000 and 'hat was on the stock, so that the building will he a total loss.The insurance on the building was allowed to lapse a short time ago.The fire is supposed to have been started by tramps as several
