SOME INTERESTING FACTS ABOUT THE HAT FACTORY RECENTLY BURNED,

SOME INTERESTING FACTS ABOUT rHF
 HAT FACTORY RECENTLY BURNED.
 The Judd x Dunning Hat Co.,, whose
 factory was destroyed by fire, last week.
 have rented the Richmond Brothers fac. tory on Grand street. Work in the sizinS department was resumed last week Thursday. The fnishers, curriers' and trimmers will probably get to work the latter part of this week. The insurance companies have adjusted the firms claims on buildings and stock. The damages on machinery will be appraised within few days. The plant will prob. ably De rebuilt in the spring. The build. ing will undoubtedly be & substantial one, capable of holding the heavy ma chinery used st the present day in the manufacture of hats. The boiler, which wac set a few years ago, is evidently but little damaged and can probably be used Ter several years with few repairs. The engine IS evidently pretty badly dam- aged, being in the hottest part of the fire, The large safe In the second storv which tumbled down on to the ground noor, contained satins and trimmincs Of considerable value and has not yet been opened. The contents no doubt are ruir- eo. The office room and large dre-proof safe sustained very little damage. Most of the office furniture was moved out before the fire reached that part of the building. Thecurlers' tools were nearly all saved by one of the workmen, which was & lucky thing for the workmen, whose kit of tools cost from $25 to $50, ard are seldom insured. Frank A. Judd ard samuel s. Dnnning formed part ncrshlp for the manufacture of hats in the fall of 1879, and soon after bought the old factory and tools of the late Joel
