        $100,000 DAMAGE BY
           NORTHAMPTON FIRE
           
        Northampton, Aug. 7 - Fire broke out at 9 o'clock
      last night in the Union freight house of the Boston
      & Maine and New York, New Haven & Hartford Railroad
      Companies. The freight house, with the exception of
      the southern end, and 10 loaded cars were destroyed.
      There was a large amount of merchandise in the freight
      houses and the total loss is estimated at about $100,
      000.
      
        The fire started from a freight car, the contents
      of which included goods of an explosive nature, which
      were being unloaded by the night crew. The Fire De-
      partment found it a stubborn fire to fight.
