A FIERY FURNACE.
WHISKY DISTILLERY DESTROYED
EMPLOYEES’ AWFUL PLIGHT.
(UNITED PRESS ASSOCIATION—COPYRIGHT.) (Received Jan. 12, 10.58 p.m.) LISBON. June 12. A burning lamp near a huge vat set fire to a whisky distillery on the outskirts of Lisbon. The flames spread to other vats, and the building was soon a fiery furnace. The employees became panic-stricken, and many of them fled into the streets with their clothing ablaze, while some jumped from the windows in a naked condition.. The firemen and soldiers are searching the ruins for possible victims.
