A BIG COMBINATION.
Edison and Thomson-Houston Ready
to Unite.
WILLARD CONFIRMS THE STORY
He VIII Leave the Edison Company-The
Basis OF the Big Consoiidation-NeRo
tiations Looking to This End Have
Been IA Progress Some Time.

NEW YORK, Feb. 6.-Rumors that the
Edison General Electric Company and the
Thomson-Houston Company were TO
amalgamate have been flying around for
some months.
Mr.. Willard now sends out statement
of the condition Of the affairs, in which
he says there is every probability that a
conclusion satisfactory to all interests
concerned will be speedily reached.
He also said: Ever since l organized
the Edison General Electric Co., / have
had the conviction that very great advant-
ages could be secured by bringing them
together, through greater economy of the
management"
The basis for consolidation provides that
the Edison stock be exchenged for that of
the consolidated comgany, dollar for
dollar, and the Thomson Houston stock be
turned in on the basis of 60 per cent. of its
face value, which is S25 share.
IL is understood that Mr.. Willard will
resign. Il. A. Coffin, now vice president
of the Thomson-Houston Company, is
spoken of as his successor. According to
current gossip Mr. Willard was practically
forced out of the Edison Company some
months ago.

A FIRE AT CENTREDALE.
Armory Hall and its Contents De-
stroyed Last Night.
THE WALLS BUILT OF STONE.
Tho Contents. Including a Bass Drum,
Were Destroyed-The Gymnasium a To-
tai Loss-The Hotel Was Barely Saved

Ginning this morning two gentlemen
coming from Georgiaville discovered fire
in Armory Hall. They Immediately
alarmed the town, sending criers through
the village. Soon crowd had gathered
at the scene, but il was useless To try to
save the building as the inside was sea
of flames before IL was discovered.
At first the fire was confined to the in
side of the building which is built of stone
but soon the flames began TO leap through
the windows and and the small building
next to the hall used as barber shop was
ablaZe. The men then began to remove
the furniture of the shop which they sue
ceeded in saving.
The Armory Hall was occupied by the
Centredale Athletic Club, which used it
the latest improvements. The Young
American Band occupied the lower pc-s of
the building and lost their bass drum and
part of the uniforms, music, ETC., valued
at 500. Inside the hall was scenery, set
tees and other furniture for the use of a
theatre and it was valued at about $500.
1t was with great difficulty that the
hotel was saved, the sparks flying thick
aud fast upon the roof. The hall was
built between 1S2S-30. Ii was used as
Baptist church FOR many years. A church
quarrel divided the congregation and it
was then used as an Episcopal church for
a few years. 1t was then used for lodge
room for the Good Templars. In late
years it has been used as a theatre and
gymnasium.
Had it not been for the stone walls of
the hall confining the flames TO the build
ing all the houses on that side of the street
would have been destroyed. Nearly all
the buildings on the street, including the
destroyed ones, were the property of James
H. Angell's heirs. The buildings were
worth about 81, 900. The hall was insured
for 1900, but the barber was uninsured

SAVED BY A WALTZ.
Almost Panic at a Masquerade
Ball,

CHICAGO, Feb. GA panic occurred in
Battery DIS armory early this morning
among the dancers at a masquerade ball.
The fright was occasioned by blaze in
little May Knapp's dress, started by a
lighted match or cigar which had been
thrown from the gallery. The girl was
severely burned about the face and hands,
and shrieks of the child together with the
signt of flames caused general stampede.
Those near her attempted To extinguish
the blaze, while Others supposing that the
hall was on fire, made wild break for the
exit The managers of the ball, realizing
the danger, ordered the orchestra To play
a waltz. The music seemed to reassure
the frightened ones and any further acci-
dent was avoided.

that there is plenty Of it in the woods.
For instance, there is Lieut.. Gov. Henry

mentioned in connection with the nomin-

man. He was born in Billerica, Mass,
Oct. %, 1926, and is son of Abner Stearns,
one Of the heroes of 1912. He enjoyed but
few of the educational privileges that
were accorded to others. but he made the
most of what time be could spare for
school purposes.
Early in life he was compelled to make
his way over hard and thorny path, but
he trudged on with a determination to
win and did He went to Cincinnati
when he was 81 years of age and started
a cotton wadding mill there. In 1850 he
went to California, where he engaged in
mechanical pursuits and ran steam ferry
from San Francisco to Oakland. Later
he went to Buffalo, and subsequently en-
gagged in farming and manufacturing in
Illinois. In 1861 he came to Pawtucket

House of Representatives in 1S1s-S1, in the

gentleman. Rhode Island republicanism
is all of the same stock.
