Fire at Milford.
Fire broke out in the Alden Fruit Dryery
about 7:40 o'clock last Friday evening, origi
mating it is supposed from the heating appar
atas. The building was frame and burned
very rapidly, and by nine o'clock it was en-
tirely destroyed. There was pretty large
stock of fruit on hand, valued at 81, 500
which was all burned. The building and
apparatus were valued at $4,000, and bad
insurance on them to the amount of $4,000,
in three companies. Some forty women and
girls were employed in the factory, and are
now thrown out of work. The building was
owned by the Alden Fruit Drying Company,
of Milford, and was leased for this season by
the Davenport Bros, the same gentlemen who
have leased the Delmarvia factory of Middle
town. This Milford factory was burned down
about this same time a year ago. 1t appears
to be unfortunate.
