On Tuesday noon last the Mills in Monmouth, formerly known as Chandler's Mills, were consumed by fire. The fire took in the Shingle Mill attached to the Sawmill, and in a few moments the whole building was one sheet of flame, the whole column of which poured on to Dodd & Stanton's Tape Factory which stood on the same dam a few feet from the Sawmill, which, with its contents, was wholly destroyed. The saw mill was owned by a company, and we do not know what amount of loss is sustained by them.
The loss of the Tape Factory falls peculiarly heavy upon Messers. Dodd & Stanton, who are industrious and deserving young men, who have lost all they had and are thrown out of business. They had on hand a large amount of tape which they were intending to send off on opening of the river, and had just laid in a large lot of yarn for future operations. Their looms, which were costly and of difficult construction, were entirely consumed. Their loss cannot be less than $3000.--No insurance.--[Maine Farmer.
