A"e ." 'he shhrtestown Navy Yard
Boston, Aug. ga fire of considerable
magnitude broke out Saturday night in the
packing or preparatory room of the rope
work in the Charlestown navy yard. When

navy yard fire engines, though promptly at
work, made but little impression on the
blaze. The city fire department soon ar
rived, how YER. and with the efficient aid Of
the navy yard brigade of marines, spare
hands, etc., succeeded in about an hour in
subduing the flames. The fire started in the
second story, which contains rope making
machinery, which consists of one large
spreader, four second spreaders, four draw
frogs and quantity of shsfting. All of these
machines, which were valued at 5000 each,
were destroyed, or rendered entirely useless
BY the caving In upon them Of the
heavy. roof which ell an hour
after the fire started. The lower floor con-
tains the horizontal engine, which was not
badly damaged, and $50 tons of new cord
age, which will have to be sold at auction.
The adjoining house, a building occupied on
the second floor by the oil rooms and offices,
and third floor by the blacksmith, repair and
carpenter shops and oil room shops, were all
burned out while the contents of the offices
