FIRE AT MOUNDSVILLE.

Tho II M. Riggs & 90. Planning Mill, De
sroyed Early Yesterday Morning.
About half past seven o'clock yesterday
morning, soon sfier the employees Of the
Moundsville planning mill had gone to
work, a fire broke out on the lower floor,
and in about half an hour the entire prop
erty was destroyed, including the small
building, short distance from the main
building, used as business Office. Little
or nothing was saved from the burning
structure, the employees even losing their
tools, etc.
The exact origin of the FIRE is not GER
tsinly known, bat il is believed TO have
started from o pile Of shaviDgs and rub
bish which had accumulated too close to
the furnace. There was no partition be-
tween the furnace and boiler and the re-
mainder of the mill, and it is thought
sparks communicated fire to the rubbish,
whence it spread with great rspidity to
the entire structure.
The mill was owned by II. NJ. Riggs q
Co and was well supplied with wood
working machinery, ana had been running
fairly we'll, giving employment to eight or
ten hands. The loss is estimated at about
Sc, 600, insured for 81 500, in the franklin,
Jefferson, Standard German and American
Insurance Companies of this city, and the
Germsn-American of Pittsburg Whether
the mill will be rebuilt or not could not be
ascertained yesterday.

CENTRAL NAIL co.
AN ORGANIZATION TO BIB FORMED OF CUT
NAIL MANUFACTURERS.
To Restrict the Supply and Regulate Pricss-A Ger
tfcais Of Incorporation Issued BY the Sec
rsAry Of SA!s-0Gscis Of the
Company.

The Central Nail Company has been in
corpOrated By Secretary of State Walker.
This company has been organized for the
purpose of manufacturing buying and sell
ing nails and ether products of iron and
steel, and holding such real estate and
personal property as may be necessary to
successfully conduct its business. Its
principal office is to be at Wheeling and its
charter is to expire on July %, 1909. The
sum Of $500 has been subscribed TO its cap
tai stock, ten per cent. Of which has been
paid in, with the privilege Of increasing
the same to 81, 600, OO0 10 all. The capital
is divided into shares of 800, one each of
which is held by Joseph Bell, A. W. Camp
bell, SpauldiDg K. Wallace, W. L. Gless-
uer and ]. n. Vance, of this city.
II will be remembered that at the last
meeting of tbs Western Cat Nail Assccia-
ton, the committee appointed at a pre-
vious meeting to formulate a new plan OF
organization, reported the result of its
work, which was favOrably received. But
action upon thersport was postponed until a
special meeting which was set for Wed
needay, August Z, at which time full
meeting will doubtless be secured.
The above mentioned certificate of in
CORPORATION is the nucleus of an or
sanitation Of all the manufact-
1rers represented in the Western Cut
Nail Association, the objects Of which are
70 restrict production and regulate the
price of nails, and 1t was in pursuance OF
the report Of the committee that the Or
gsnizatiOn was formed.
The operations of the company will be
such 81 we're suggested in an interview IN
the REGISTER with one Of the charter
members Of the company, about the time
the old organization went to pieces. All
the nails made By the mills which are
members Of the association, will be turned
into the hands Of the company through
which channel only will they be sold. II
iobber OF dealer wants Iails ne must 20
10 the company to purchase them, as no
individual mill will be allowed to sell a
keg of nails.
This will have the effect of establishing
a uniform price for the product, and avoid
the cutting and slashiug that has been
continually going on; and the benefit Will
be the same to all. As it is probable
that all the fourteen mills represented in
the association will come into the new COM
pany, it promises to be strong orgsnizl-
ton and one that will put the cut nail
business on its feet again and in shape 70
successfully compete with its wire nail
rival. No further steps will be taken, 1t
Is understood, until the meeting on Au-
gust Z has been held.
