Spectacular Blaze Threatens Large Section of City - Aid sent From Here
Dresden, O., June 6 - Fire which threatened to entirely destroy the Dresden paper mill on South Main Street, broke out about 9:30 o'clock Wednesday night when lightning struck the straw ricks near the main building of the plant during a severe electrical storm.
The straw, being very inflamable, was quickly a mass of fire. The flames spread rapidly and for a time it was feared the entire paper mill as well as several residences across the street might be destroyed. Two hose carts of the Dresden fire department were called into service and about half the residents of the city turned out to fight the flames.
An emergency call was sent to Zanesville for aid. the Abington avenue truck and crew together with Fire Chief Hal Tanner left this city about 10:30 for Dresden to aid in the efforts to extinguish the fire. Information at a late hour was to the effect that the flames were fairly well under control.
It was estimated that the damage would amount to several thousand dollars as many tons of straw were consumed by the fire. It is understood that loss is partly covered by insurance.
The residence of Thomas Stanley, near the paper mill, was also struck by lightning during the storm. It was ignited but the flames were extinguished without much damage after a part of the floor had been torn up. So far as could be learned, no other buildings had been struck by lightning, although the storm damage will amout to considerable.

Dresden Woolen Mill
By an advertisement in this paper it will be seen that Mr. L. Rambo has his woolen mill in good running order, doing a large business.
For years the effort of Mr. Rambo has been doing a good thing for the people in the neighborhood of Dresden; and indeed through a large portion of the State. The people have found it very advantageous to exchange their wool for such goods as they used for wearing apparel at this factory and to have their wool spun, wove, dressed and made into such cloth as they needed.
We are also informed that Mr. Rambo intends purchasing a large amount of wool of all grades, and will pay the highest market price for the same. Give him a call when ever you are ready to buy, sell or exchange.

Woolen Factory
We stepped into the Woolen Factory of Messers L. Rambo & Co., in Dresden yesterday, and were surprised to see the activity which prevailed in every department. We were informed that they had just completed the first State contract for 10,000 yards of heavy overcoating, and that they are at liberty to accept of another contract of the same kind and upon the same terms, if they feel so inclinded.
Their business is very large and doubtless profitable, and we hope the gentlemanly proprietors will, as they richly deserve, continue to enjoy a like patronage.

Something new in Ohio
The wire suspension bridge across the Muskingum river at Dresden is, we learn so far completed as to be passed over by footmen, and will in a few days be in a condition to be crossed by teams. This is the first structure of the kind in Ohio, and speaks well for the enterprise of Dresden. This bridge in a business point of view, will be of great advantage to the town and the surrounding country. We shall have more to say on this subject hereafter.

Suspension Bridge
MESSES. EDITOR: -- Having had occasion to visit Dresden, a few days ago, I of course sought the Wire Suspension Bridge across the Muskingum at that place; and although I had, with some pride, read several notices of that beautiful structure, I found it superior to what I expected.
The span is 450 feet; road way 17 feet wide; piers 36 feet high, being 30 feet about low water mark. This cable is composed of 225 strans of No. 10 wire, each stran capable of bearing 2000 pounds. The roadway is laid with double flooring, and the bridge is supplied with substantial railing.
This imposing structure cannot fail to increase very largely, the trade and business of Dresden; and I have no doubt the town will, in a short time, be amply repaid for this splendid addition to her business facilities. Long may this, the first bridge of the kind in Ohio, "wave" and may those enterprising citizens who procured its erection, never have cause to regret this progressive step.

Mine Accident
Newton Birkhimer was involved in a mine collapse. Several articles appeared in local newspapers reporting the accident and his condition. Here are the transcriptions of those:
"Newton Birkhimer, aged 64, well-known and highly respected Dresden resident, was seriously injured last Friday afternoon while at work in his coal mine on the Copland farm in Madison township. Mr. Birkhimer was sitting down diggin coal when the roof fell without warning and doubled the sitting man under the great weight of debris. Howard Lacy, working in a near-by room, hearing the crash ran to the assistance of the prostrate man and removed the slate and coal. Physicians were called and it was found that Mr. Birkhimer was badly injured. For a time it was thought that his back was broken, but after his removal to the family home in Dresden a close examination failed to reveal any fracture of the spine, although it is feared that the spinal cord is seriously involved. While suffering but little pain Mr. Birkhimer is completely paralyzed in his lower limbs and fear is entertained that he will not regain the use of his legs. It is conceded that it may be several days before his condition will become manifest, and a turn for better or worse. This accident is deplored by the host of friends of the injured man and the universal hope of the community is that Mr. Birkhimer be spared and that he recover full use of his body and live to pass an active and ripe old age."
BIRKHIMER BETTER
"Neton Birkhimer, of Old Town, who has been confined to his bed for some months with paralysis of the lower limbs as a result of the accident in a coal mine on the Copland farm, is slowly recovering the use of his limbs. He can now move his legs around in his bed without assistance. The people of the entire region are pleased to know that Mr. Birkhimer is recovering. Everybody is interested in him, for he is held in highest esteem. As slight tokens of their regard the people of Madison township, under the capable leadership of Mrs. R.R. Steele, Mrs. C.W. West and Mrs. Charles Steele, recently took a wagon of provisions and $15 in cash to Mr. Birkhimer. Dresden people raised about $50 in money and gave it to Mr. Birkhimer to help tide him and his over the shoals. Needless to add that the afflicted man and his family give thanks to all who have in any way helped in this time of need."
"Newton Berkheimer, Dresden miner, has part of spine removed by surgeons after his back is broken in accident."
