Destruction by Fire of the SaxnnviIle (BTass.l
Blanket Manufartories-Los Nearly Half
Million Dollars.

" +HAbAph AJNiAtAAhs
FRAM1NGHASf, MASS, Nov. 70.
Fire broke out at 1880 this morning in
the immense buildings known as the Sax
onyille blanket factories, at Saxonville,
and at three o'clock five Of the nine large
factories were a mass of smoking ruins,
and the only industry of the town wiped
out for the time being. The town is shame
fully negligent in the matter of fire de-
partment, having only three hand engines,
two OF them being located three miles from
the factories, When these arrived the
flames were beyond control, and all the
tiremen could do was to save the buildings
not already in flames. Assistance was
called from Natck, Ashland and Cochit-
uate, and steamers were sent from those
towns, but were of little avail.
Three of the burned buildings were OF
bffck, five and six stories, and two of
wood, two stories each. No. o, the last one
TO go, was new building containing no
machinery, but filled with goods, a portion
of which were saved by great efforts of the
iiremen first on the ground. The two store
houses, containing thousands of finished
blankets, were saved, also the boiler-house,
located at some distance from the mills; also
the lighthouses. The latter, however, were
considerably damaged. The firemen were
exposed Co great danger from constantly
exploding naphtha and other chemicals,
that created intense heat, and also from
the falling walls. At one time the company
We're obliged to drop the pipes and run for
their lives to escape burial beneath falling
bricks. The excitement in the village was
intense. A general conhagration was ex-
pected, owing to the showers of falling
sparks, which fell upon the roofs Of the EN-.
ployes' houses, constantly igniting them
and requiring constant work with pals.
Many people removed their goods from
their houses, thinking the entire village
would be swept away.
The mills were owned by NJ. II. Simpson
q CO., of Boston. No accurate estimate Of
the loss can be made tonight, as it is un-
known how much finished goods were de-
stroYed and how much the machinery was
worth. The loss on buildings alone is esti-
mated at S135000, and the total loss is esti-
mated at from 100000 to 100000, and may
exceed that figure. -Four hundred EN-
ployes are thrown out Of work. The mills
supplied thousands of tons of blankets to
the army and navy during the war, and as
the business is very profitable they will,
doubtless, be rebuilt. The same firm con.
trolls the Roxbury Carpet Company, one OF
the largest concerns in the State.

A Car Containing sixty-hve Persons Hurled
Over an EmbanlSment-All of them In-
jured, but None Killed-Fears that Some
May Die, However.
WORCESTER, MASS, Nov. q.
The rear car of crowded passenger
train on the Boston, Barre and Gardner
Railroad was thrown from the track just as
the train was drawing away from North
Worcester Station, at 2:15 this afternoon,
and hurled with terrific force down steep
embankment, fully twenty.fiYe feet high.
They were sixty-6ye passepgers in the car,
and not one OF them escaped injury. The
car turned wholly over once and then half
over agninin itsldnsceht, aud finally rested
on its side at an angle Of forty-fve degrees.
1t was badly broken up in the fall. The
seats we're all wrenched from their places
and thrown in heap, and the passengers
were mixed up with the broken iron and
timber in almost inextricable confusion.
The woodwork Of the car caught fire from
tho stove in the forward part, and the hor-
ror of being burned to death confronted the
wounded passengers. But assistance was
prompt, and the flames were speedily ex.
tinguished.
Some few of the passengers extricated
themselves from the wreck, and with the
occupants of the other two cars, which re-
NAMED on the track set to work
and helped their suffering companions.
The anguished cries of bruised and bleed.
ing men, women and children made the
scene a terrible one. Tenderly and care
fully the injured ones were taken out and
laid on the grass by the side OF the track.
II was found that by miracle none were
killed, but several were apparently dying.
Physicians were summoned from Worces-
cester, and Doctors Bates, Marble, Davis,

Adams and Warren were soon on the spot.

THEATER BURNED.
Burning OF the windsor Theater, New
YOrk-It Fortunately Contained No Audi
ence-other Property Involved in the
Ruin.
NEW York, Nov. 20.

NEW YORK, Nov. 20.
Fire broke out in the Windsor Theater,
No. 45 Bowery, shortly before twelve
O'Clock tonight. The flames spread rap
idly. In a few minutes after the alarm
sounded the whole structure was mass of
flames. All efforts of the Fire Department
were unavailing to check the conflagration,
and the building was totally destroyed.
The flames communicated to several ad.
joining buildings. The fire originated be-
tween the first floor and basement, under
the main stairway, and was discovered by
the policeman at that post. Besides the
theater, the building contained two small
no els, kept by Hartman and .Loehl, and
situated ON either side of the main entrance
to the theater. There were forty guests in
Hartman's hotel and a smaller number in
Loehl's, all Of whom escaped without difi-
Guilty. There was no one in the theater at
the time, the performance having closed at
10;4j, nor were there any remaining at the
Ihalia Theater, situated directly opposite
the Windsor, on the Bowery. The whole Fire
Department. of the district was summoned
by general alarm, but the efforts of the
firemen were greatly impeded by the pecu-
liar structure of the building and by the ell
evated railroad structure, which passed in
front Of the theater. Trains; however, were
finally stopped, and the firemen were able
to work more effectively by taking the
hose TO the top Of the structure. The fire
had gained such headway by this time that
it was seen to be useless TO attempt to save
thebuilaing, and they tufned their attention
to the surrounding buildings. The theater
building was owned by VIM. A. Martin, IS
( East Thirty-eighth street, and was valued
at 100000. ssea
