Destructive Fire in Roach's Shipyard.
CHESTER (Pal, August Sth.-This morn
ing a fire was discovered by the watchman
in the blacksmith shop, frame building.
in Roach shipyard. The flames soon spread
| to the punch-Shed, also of frame and COW
! ering nearly an acre of ground All efforts
! to save the immense building were given
| up, and attention directed to saving the
| binding-shed, short distance away, but the
| efforts OF the lircmen We're unayailing, and
il was soon abandoned The firemen then
| directed their attention to the foundry, 4
! large brick building adjoining the binding
shed, and it was only by herculcan efforts
| that it was saved. Telcgrams were sent to
| Wilmington and Philadelphia for assist
| ance, but the fire was gotten under control
| sufficiently to countermandth the orders, The
| principal loss is on the punch-Shed, where
! there was q great deal Of heavy and eX-
! pensive machinery, valued at $3.50 600.
| The rollers alone cost from $40, 700 to Sl2 600
| apiece. and there were three or four sets of
| these. There were six sets of punches,
valued at $1,000, and other machinery pro-
| portionately expensive, and required in
daily use, as it enters into the shaping or
preparation of all the plates and iron used
in ships Much of this machinery was
new, and will require several months to
| replace it. The loss in the binding shed
themselves, although sheds, were worth
$4,000. The loss on both buildings and
machinery is fully insured. The fire
throws about 500 men out of work, and
will virtually stop the yard and suspend
work on the Government cruisers for some
time.
