BIG FIRE AT LOWELL.
The Coburn Shuttle Company Build
ing DeatroYed Mt = Loss OF 100000.

IAe C0Dufn shuttle COm panT y
ing Destroyed at = Loss OF 100000.
LOWELL, March 29.-The most destructive
fire that has occurred i'll this city since the
burning of the Chase mills in 1880 occurred
tonight At o'clock fire was discovered in
the wooden building of the Coburn Shuttle
company's four story mill in Aver City. The
flames had acquired great Roadway before
the department arrived, the fire being long
distance from the senter of the city and the
Dads bad, and the two upper stories of the
mill were soon wrapped in flames. It was
thought the fire would be confined to the
wooden mill, but it crept along the rafters
and owing to poor party walls the main
structure was in flames an hour
after the alarm was given. The flames
spread 80 rapidly that the fremen
had barely time to escape with their lives.
Three minutes after the fire communicated
to the main mill terrific explosion blew out
sixty feet of the wall of the brick building.
Charles Foley, a fireman, was struck by a
brick and injured, but not seriously. The
fire is still burning furiously at this
hour Il a. n.y., but is under control.
The mill is a total loss. It is owned by the
Coborn Shuttle company, was built ia 1878
and is valued at $50, 200, partly insured. The
main mill was occupied on the 6rst floor by
the Coburn Shuttle company, second and
third by tile Pickering Knitting company,
fourth by the Howarth & Watson Cop
per Tube Company The wooden building
was occupied on the first floor by Abram
Batchelder, bung manufacturer; the second
and third BY the Criterion Hosiery company,
the fourth floor by the embroidery depart
ment of the Pickering Knitting company.
The mill contained considerable new machin-
cry and great quantity of manufactured
goods. The loss is difficult to estimate, but
will exceed 5000, 200; partly insured Five
hundred employees, mostly women, are thrown
ont of work

The New Ravens lose Again.
The New Ravens were defeated in Water
bury last night, Z TO 6. The New Ravens
were made up of Wodtke and Churchill
rushers, Valiant center, Watson half-back
and Fuller goal The team was of course
much weaker than the regular New Haven
team, but it put up strong game against
Waterbury, as the score shows. Neither
Watson, Churchill nor Wodtke have played
in month before. The New Ravens did ex-
cellently with the team they had.
In Meriden the home team defeated the
Bostons to O..
The Hartfords play here tonight. As the
Hartfords did not play last night, and most
of the New Haven team laid off, an exciting
game will probably be the result.
The Bostons play here tomorrow night.
At the league meeting in Hartford We'd

LEAP YEAR SURPRISE
PerPetrated Last Might Upon Comstoek
Division.

The members of Comstock division No. 2,
Uniform rank, Knights of Pythias, met for
drill last night as usual, and very soon after
the division formed the armory door
opened and in walked the wives and lady
friends of the Sir Knights, about thirty in
number, bringing with them music and re-
freshments. The ladies took possession of the
banquet hall and prepared an elegant repast,
which was heartily enjoyed by all present.
After the drill and banquet dancing was in
dulged in until nearly midnight: A lively
game of polo between two teams of the divi-
sion added to the amusement of the occasion
and will no doubt be Of interest to the shoe
makers, as no skates were used. The whole
affair was planned by the ladies and they
kept their secret SO well that it was genuine
leap year surprise and was voted grand
success.
The division will hold a fair commencing
Saturday, April 7, in their armory, 916 Chapel
street, and will no doubt have a good time
