Factory Building Owned BY DR.. III. N.
Dodge of Morristown Destroyed.
Fire on Monday morning destroyed
the Darragh manufacturing building at
Boonton, which was owned by DR..
Henry N. Dodge of Morristown. Owing
to the high wind and the fact that the
flames had gained considerable head
way, it was impossible to save the build
ing. A number of houses are in the
immediate vicinity and the firemen had
hard work to save these from destruc-
ton. A barn some distance from the
side of the factory was burned and
several canal boats, frozen in the ice,
directly at the rear of the building, were
badly burned.
In the basement of the factory were a
number of new carriages and wagons
owned by P. V. Salmon. These were
all taken out in safety. At one time the
building that was burned was used for
the manufacture of paper tubes, but for
the past five years had been vacant. The
machinery had been removed from the
building, which was three stories high
with basement, and built of wood.
The fire started in one end of the fac
tory, where family of Hungarians
occupied rooms. An overheated stove.
in the absence of the tenants, was re-
sponsible for the origin of the blaze.
