Q. Can you give us an estimate—an approximate estimate of the amount of loss sustained, by reason of the riot, in the works of the company?
A. I could not swear. The principal loss was the furnace. We had two furnaces in blast. They were filled up full. That was a complete loss. It is very expensive to cut them out.
Q. Chilled, were they?
A. Both chilled.
Q. Who can give us the probable loss?
A. W. W. Scranton.
Q. You said you were notified that there would be a meeting at the silk-works, and they were going to clean your shops out. How did you get your notice?
A. The superintendent of the blast furnace told me.
Q. Do you know where he got his information?
A. I do not. I presume he got it from some of his men there.
