At the Home Bleach
and Dye Works
IN VALLEY FALLS.
Origin of the Disas-
trous Fire a Mystery.

The Home Bleach and Dye Works In
Valley Falls, owned by Peter B. Nc
Manus, were totally destroyed oy fire last
night. The origin OF the fire is unknown.
II is said that the hremen did little or
nothing to save the property.
The building in whicn the fire was To-
Gated was owned by the Valley Falls Com
pany, and was leased, machinery and all,
to Mr.. Peter b. Nc Msnus, who conducted
the bleaching and dyeing business in
very successful manner.
The building itself was a two story
at b tween $50, 900 and $4,000. II was in
sured for the former amount in mutual
companies.
Mr.. Nc Msnus also had an Insurance
upon his property IA we'll as on the goods
left In his .are, but the amount was in
sufficient to cover the loss.
At the time OF the dre there were about
eight persons in the employ OF the COM
pany and they were working hard TO hil
the large number OF orders that we're
ahead so that the actual loss cannot be
estimated by dollars and cents.
How the fre started is a mystery. The
watchman Is one OF the best OF men and
is never slack in the performance OF his
duty. The fre smouldered for long
time beiore'it was discovered, aud it had
gained such a headway that it had showed
itself In the room.

Shortly after Q O'Clock last evening acre

Mr.. Cole Will Not Have to Bother
oAS ABOUT Ulv0rce.

HAvERBlLL, Mass, Dec. 22 Mrs. Alice
Cole, one OF the three young women who
deserted their husbands, came to this city
three years ago. She then posed as the
divorced wife OF Herbert Turner OF
Providence, aud became popular belle
here. She became acquainted with Her
bert G. Cole, and this ripened into loves aud
marriage was FASTENED by letter pur-
porting to come from her divorced hus
baud. asking for reunion In matrimony.
Since Mr.. Coles sudden departure Mr..
Cole has consulted b. r. Brickstt, to
whom he related the circumstances OF
the letter referred TO above. Mr. Brickett
concluded that the epistle had been used
simply TO urge Mr.. Cole
To Propose Marriage.
Mr.. Brickett wrote q letter 10 the clerk
OF The court at Providence To ascertain II
decree Of divorce had been granted To
Herbert Turner from Alice Turner about
three years ago. In reply the clerk said:
81 can't find any decree granted Ia this
court"
As Mrs. Turner claims that she for
meTly lived IN Providence, where she W =
married and. from any Information To the
contrary, Mr. Turner IL still resident OF
Providence, IL is the only logical conclu-
sion that Mr. Cole wds inroc.ntlv enticed
into an illegal marriage, snl. therefore. il
released from the trouble aud necessity o.
p.OcuriRg divorce.
