Cured In Passaic Village about ten O'Clock on
Monday night involving the loss Of the large
bloachery and Canton flannel mandatory OF
Watson Sons. The Passaic village and Carlsbad
Fire Departments were promptly on hand, but the
flames had attained such Roadway that nothing
could be done towards saving the building. The
factories were stored with expensive machinery
and valuable stock The fire started among some
innammable cotton material lying about into
which the end OF q match was accidentally dropped
while lighting O kerosene lamp. The buildings de-
stroyed consisted OF bleachery 225 feet long and
three stories high, two OF the floors full OF goods

square, containing q large quantity Of
goods In bale and wet goods in process OF bleach
Ing, and boiler house, 50x40. Among the prop
erty consumed were 10000 yards Of goods ready
for shipping to-day. The total loss Is estimated at
$l25, 900. The insurance Is said to be not over
$4,000. The books OF the concern were all lost
because In the efforts to extinguish the names they
were neglected until It was too late to rescue
them. The water in the brook was pumped dry by

could not be reached on account Of the great heat
from the names It took 1000 feet OF hose TO reach
the water The Watsons had fire apparatus Of
their own on the premises, but the wrench could
not be found and the water could not be used. 1t
