Fire On Union Street.

Loss About @IO,OOO GOssamer Water
 proofs And Coats.
 A fire broke out in the shop of the Metzger Rubber company on the corner of Union and Court streets yesterday forenoon at about 20 minutes of nine o'clock. It started from one of the machines, over which a roll of rubber cloth from which gossamer rubber waterproofs are made was being subjected to the rolling process. Benzine enters into the composition of the cloth. The boy in charge of the machine was startled to see it turn out, instead of roll of cloth, large blue blaze, which set fire to some benzine near by. The flames blazed up and set the build ing on fire. The boy shouted 'tfire" and the alarm became general, and the girls, about 40 of whom are employed on the work, fled precipitately. MT. Smith, superintendent of the fire alarm, was at work at some wires across the street and struck box 26. The steamers were soon at work at the flames which had spread with great rapidity. It was over an hour, however, be- fore the flames were fully extinguished For some time dense smoke rolled out from the windows. A large crowd viewed the ire. The building, which has been owned for the last thirty years by George Hotchkiss, of 264 Orange street, was damaged to the ex- tent probably of $2, ,OOo. The insurance on the building amounted to $3, 800, equally divided between the following companies: Connecticut Fire of Hartford, Meriden Fire of Meriden, Jefferson of New York, and the Franklin of New York; the first two through Fl. l.. & J. S. Cannon, and the others through New York broker.
 The insurance on the stock consisted of $1 1000 in the Farragut of New York, $2, 800 in the North German of Germany, $1,00O in the Park of New York, $1,00O in the Lorillard of New York, $1,OOO in the Com mercial of New York, $1 ,0O0 in the Peo- ple's of Middletown, besides an unknown amount with. some New York brokers and Silas Chapman, of Hartford Charles Wilson is the. agent for the Farragut, North German and Park; Sperr y and Kimberly for the Iorillard and Conner cial, and Gardner Morse for the Peoples The fire was evidently caused by the frlc- ton to which the infammable compound or rubber and benzine was subjected ln it's course through the mill.
 The Metzger Rubber Go. was formed in May with a capital of $50, OOO The dam age to stock and machinery is estimated at about $1O, GOO. About GO hands are employed. The remains will be at once repaired and work resumed.
 The building was also occupied in part by Hoggson < Pettis, the die sinkers and letter cutters.
