TWO DISASTROUS FIRES.
Home Bleaching and Dyeing Co.
Again Sustain Heavy Loss.
ORIGINAL PLANT DESTROYED.
Loss VIII Amount to e23, 600 spontane-
Gus Combustion Probably tho Cause
Barn and Five Horses saved-Wiii
Rebuild at Once.

The works OF the Home Bleachingl and
Dyeing Co.. situated on Branch street
north Of the Old Colony X. X track just
over the line in Attleboro from Paw
tucket, were completely destroyed by fire
this morning. The works were operated
by Peter B. McMannus. who for some
years has carried on the bleaching and
dyeing business on large scale.
In addition TO the plant destroyed this
morning Mr.. McMannus operated an ex-
tensve business at what was known as
the Valley Falls dye house, the large two
story building at Valley Falls, which was
destroyed by fire some five or six weeks
ago.
When this plant was burned Mr.. Nc
Man nus conducted his whole business at
the plant on the other side OF the river,
aud on account OF this two story addi-
tion, 40 by 30 feet, was built onto the
original structure, and the whole estab
lishment equipped with new machinery.
Within week $500 extractor was put
in. The plant was being operated a t its
utmost .pacity. and there was a large
amount of unfinished goods stored there
waiting for the dyeing aud bleaching
processes.
The fire was discovered by the watch
man on his rounds a few moments before
1 o'clock this morning. 1t was in pile
of cotton, and was evidently caused by
spontaneous combustion. He notified
the watchman who was tending the boil
ers, and the two got out the hose and
started the force pump.
One of the men then blew the factory
whistle and telephoned to Mr.. McMannus,
who notified Chief Engineer Brierly OF
Pawtucket. asking for assistance. Chief
Briefly started the No. chemical engine
To the fire, but owing to the heavy snow
storm the chemical could not proceed far.
The horses were nitched to a wagon aud
the hose taken to the scene OF the fire,
but there was not enough to connect
with the nearest hydrant.
Chief Engineer Patt of the Central
Falls department saw the fire and started
out the Kendall street hose company.
The hose cart was abandoned for a
sleigh after going short distance, but
by the time the hose arrived at the fire
the buildings were beyond salvation.
With tne exception of the barn and five
horses the works were completely de-
stroyed.
The loss upon the stock and fixtures Of
the company will amount to about Sl8,-
600, which is, for the most part insured
through the agency of Starkweather &
Shepley. The origina building belo nged
to the Union Wadding Co., aud was val
ued at a., 600, insured through the agency
of Samuel Shove 81 Sons
fhe greater part of the goods at the
works belonging to outside parties were
owned bv the Hopodale Elastic Goods
Company. Some were owned by the
Union Wadding Company.
All the books and papers in the Office
not in the safe were saved. The safe is
hreproof, and its contents will doubtless
be recovered.
Mr.. McMannus intends to rebuild as
soon as possible, and for the present will
secure temporary quarters to accommo-
date the rush of business.

A TERRIBLE WRECK.
particulars ABOUT DISASTER TO
THE RELIANCE.
The Hawser Between the Tug Panther
AMI the Barge Was Cut That the Tug
Might he Saved.

NEW LONDON. Conn.,, Feb 22-Fur-
ther particulars of the disaster which be-
fell the coal barge Reliance off Block
Island, Monday have been received, and
show that it was one Of the most terrible
many years.
The barge which contained five persons
j. f. Re mington, the captain and wife,
aud three men, was heavily loaded with
coal and was in tow of the ocean-going
tug Panther. The tow was bound for
Boston.
During the fierce gale which ragged
Sunday night both the tug and barge
were tossed about like corks, aud all
aboard expected that they would 90
down at any moment. The house on the
barge was demolished and the tug was
also damaged by the furious seas which
broke over her.
Monday morning the gale increased in
force, and it became evident to the cap
tain of the Panther that both vessels
would go to the bottom before long
unless they parted.
So it was decided to cut the hawser and
let the barge loose. This step was taken
with the greatest regret, as 1t meant
almost certain death To the five persons
on the barge.
STILL it was the only thing that could
be done under the circumstances
As soon as the boats parted the barge
anchored and the tug steamed away.
The barge pitched and rolled in the
heavy seas and il became apparent to the
frantic people aboard that they were
doomed.
The keeper Of the light at Block Island
saw that the Reliance would founder,
and signalled the crew to ship anchor and
come ashore.
She went to pieces so fast, however,
that it was impossible to save those
aboard.
This morning the BODY of the woman
washed ashore, was positively identified
as that OF the captains wife.
The report that the young son Of Capt.
Remington also perished Is incorrect.
The boy Is home at Someryille, Conn,
where the captain has resided for a num-
ber OF years

In tho Pawtuxet Valley.

The storm in the Pawtuxet Valley to-
day was the most violent that has been
known in twenty-five years and it is
thought that there will be a heavy
freshet.
The trains upon all the railroads have
been from an hour and half to two
hours late throughout the day, while
walking through many of the principal
streets is impossible. The river is
filled with huge cakes of floating ice and
the dams at the different mills were
severely tested by the enormous strain
which was being brought to bear against
them.
AT Greene Station the snow is piled in
huge masses across the track of the New

pleasant weather yesterday Meriden
people supposed that the worst snow
storm since the famous blizzard was mt
an end. But the storm was renewed this
morning with such fury that the indica-

blockade.
The street cars had TO be run into the
barn, while Commissioner Balzer found
it impossible TO cope with the elements,
aud gave his gang of men rest until
after the storm. Many Of the stores were
closed all day. In places OF the outskirts
OF the city the snow ispiled in drifts from
fifteen TO twenty feet, worse than IL was
during the 1883 blizzard.
