struck by ball OF electric fire, which ex-
ploded with tremendous force. A fire.

heavily charged. All watches and clocks
on the premises were stopped and other

BRISTOL, Sept 30. The alarm of fire
sounded this forenoon at $50, from Dis
trict 10, proved to be the Hopcworth San
itarium. A messenger was dispatched to
the Soldiers Home, the nearest place OF
telephone connection TO town. The origin
of the fire was sparks from the chimney
igniting the roof. The fire was extin-
guished by the occupants and the loss
was slight. When the alarm was sounded
a great deal OF excitement prevailed from
the fact that large columns Of smoke
were ascending from the railroad track
in the direction of the Hannili Rubber
Works. where a fire had recently occurred
and many went in that direction although
the fire alarm was correct and the tire
men were prompt TO the call.

time the entire structure was threat

o'clock by Patrick Campbell, an employe
Of the Silver Spring Bleaching ard Dye
ing Company and he Immediately rung
In an alarm from box 164, the private box
OF the Silver Spring company.
When the department arrivei the fire
had gained considerable headway and
was blazing fiercely about the shed, which
stands several feet above the main build
ing. Several streams of water were at
once turned on to he burning mass, and
the air was soon filed with shavings and
debris. The most heroic efforts of the
firemeh, however, could not prevent the
fire from working its way into the roof
of the main structure, and at one time it
was thought the entire plant was doomed
After time, by hard work and vol
umes of water the fire was gotten under
control and eventually quelled although
the mass of shavings smoked for several
hours in sullen manner
The origin of the fire is doubtful, be-
ing thought by some to have resulted
from flying sparks from a passing loco
motive, and by others 10 have been occa-
stoned by sparks from the boilers. Inas-
