Tie large canning factory, and jelly works

The fire broke out in tie man canning house
about II P. NJ. The origin Of it is unknown.
Yesterday the employees were making jeliea
duril & the day, and had three Thousand dollars
worth ready Tor shipment, but was all destroyed.
No fire hal been kiniled during the day in
that part of the building where the fire broke
ont. II was first discovered by the clerk who
sleeps in the office. The books and paper were
all saved, but the buildings were entirely con-
rune d.
With tho building were burned all the fixtures,
one hundred thousand cans made for next years
use, and from fifty to one hundred Thousand
cans iiiled with fruit, which burst open aud are
perfect ruin.
he loss is estimated at S550 600, which il sup

spontaneous combustion in the room where
large stock Of printed labels were stored. For
tnnately stock valued Mt @l7,OOO had been
shipped few days before the fire. The amount
of Stock including cam ed and preserved fruits,
tin IN Sheets &C. in the building at the time Of the
fire, ~ valued at !25, 200. The building which
was CT wood, with machinery and fixtures, WAS
valued at $4,000.
TIE destruction Of this building throws about
forty hands out of employment during the vim
ter. During the canning season about 800 hands
found employment in it, At this season small
force only was engaged in making jellies and
manufacturing cans for next seasons work. We
presume that new buildings will be erected i'm
mediately, and the business resumed az soon as
possible.
The insurance, which is distributed among
several companies is about $685. $4,000 OF
