FIRE AT BOONTON,

A portion of the mills of the Boonton
Iron Works at Boonton, were destroy
ed by fire on Sunday night. The
works comprise large nail factory, a
saw mill, coopers-shop, and four hous-
es for drying stave timber. The great
furnace and nailmills were saved, but
the saw mill, coopers shop, drying
houses, and several hundred kegs of
nails were burned. The loss of the saw
mill and coopers shop will prevent the
making of nail kegs, and the running Of
the nail mills must therefore be sus-
pended until these can be supplied.
Work in the mills had been suspended
since the LIST of July, and the fire is be.
lieved to have been the work of an in
cendiary. The total loss will not ex-
coed fifty thousand dollars. The build
ings and machinery destroyed, which
were quite old, were insured in seven
teen New York companies.
