Threats Made to Burn a Mili-Activity in
Real Estate-Notes.


ROCKVILLE. MD. June IA 1891.
1t is reported here today that during the past
week Messrs. J. 5. Benson Il Son. who are at
present engaged in the construction of large
roller process Touring mill at Laytonsville,
this county, have received several letters
threatening that if the work is completed the
mill will be burned One of the letters was
dated and postmarked at Washington. This
state of affairs has caused considerable uneasi-
ness in the locality where the mill is being
built, which Is but short distance from where
the new mill of Mr.. Remus Riggs was burned
some time ago. The object and origin of these
threatening letters Is a mystery To all. but the
projectors of the enterprise do not appear TO
be much alarmed and will push the building to
completion and take chances for the future.
The work of repiking Montgomery avenue
between Adams street and the Falls road Is

short time. after which the regarding and pix
ing of that portion of the Rockville and George
