Whisky Fire Destroys Major Broadford Distillery Warehouse
At the A Overholt distillery in Broadford near Connellsville Pennsylvania a massive blaze swept through the main bonded warehouse and four storage floors, destroying 8100000 gallons of whisky and causing an estimated loss of 4000000 dollars. Strong winds away from town prevented wider damage to nearby industries and railroad facilities. The plant founded in 1810, rebuilt after an 1884 fire, is largely owned by H Frick and the Mellon family of Pittsburgh. The cause is suspected to be spontaneous combustion or a spark from a passing locomotive.
