DESTRUCTION OF RAILROAD SHoPs.--
About three o'clock Sunday morning
the extensive machine and repair shops
of the Atlantic, Mississippi and Ohio
railroad at Lynchburg, Va, were des-
troyed by ERE. The fire is supposed to
have originated from sparks from a
stationary engine. The entire estab
lishmeut was destroyed, except por-
tlcn Of the brick walls left standing,
including large amount of fine mas
chinery. The loss Is estimated at from
fifty to seventy-fve thousand dollars,
wich is partially covered by insurance.
This is the second time these shops
have been destroyed within the past

In speaking of iron in Virginia the
Amherst Enterprise says lin Virs
gina valuable iron ore lands are cheap
and millions of acres are on the market.
Labor is abundant and cheap, and coal,
by means of railroads, is getting nearer
to ore, so that in short time, if not
already, iron and steel can be manu-
featured here in Virginia cheaper than
elsewhere in the world. All we want
is capital. 1t is said that Pennsylvania
iron costs to make it nearly IS, per ton
more than Virginia, and that English
iron cannot compete against Virginian,
even without any tariff. She could
compete with the world, if she bad
capital, and make money at English
prices. When the great iron masters
of Pennsylvania and Michigan find
that, on account Of the high price of
lands and mines and labor, they can
not compete with tongh iron, they will
transfer the bulk Of their capital to Virs
oinia, and will continue their business
at profit, simply by change Of loca
ton. It is questionable whether many
are not now preparing so to do"

Forrest fires are raging furiously
about one mile east of Masseno, New
York. The fires cover a tract mile
wide and five miles long, the wind
blowing q gale from the south. The
farmers are deserving their dwellings.
LARGE tracts Of standing timber are
swept down, and the fire runs through
the swaups and fields Of standing grain
with incredible rapidity. The season
has been unusually dry. No rain has
fallen during the past six weeks. The
water in the streams is very low, and
the wells are all dried up.
