MANSFIELD.

The general store of John Durham, about one-eighth of a mile west of the Storrs agricultural college, on the road to Willimantic, was entirely destroyed by fire early Sunday morning. The first in- timation the neighbors had of the fire was two loud explosions in succession, about 3 o'clock, which proceeded from cans of powder kept in the store to SUD- ply the country trade. The store was then full of fire, and the building quickly burned to the ground. Nothing could be done to save it. The building was a small frame house, used exclusively as a grocery and general store. It was owned by MT. Dunham, and with contents is a total loss. It was about 200 feet from the Barrows silk mill, which was burned in 1891. The origin of the fire is mystery. There was a stove in the store, but no light: Stock and buildings were fully insured. The owner and proprietor lives nearly opposite the store. MT. Dunham is an old man with considerable property, and will probably not rebuild the store

The Palmer and Monson Electric Con-

The Palmer and Monson Electric Con- pany has been enlarged into new company under the name of the Central Massachusetts Electric Company. The capital stock of the new company is $150,- 900 with privilege of extending to $200,- GOO. The new company will buy out the old. This change is made necessary by an intended wider scope and the necessity of more capital stock. The new company will extend it's lines at once to Warren end West Warren, and probably eventu- ally will include some of the Brookfields. A new dynamo, the latest production of the General Electric Company, will be put in to supply the extra lights. From this one machine, arc and incandescent lights, and power for motors can be se- cured at the same time and from the same wire. It being necessary at present to run two separate machines for the incan- descent and arc lamps. Until the organ ization is perfected the following will serve as officers: A. M. Young of Water bury, president; R. s. Hicks of Stafford, vice-president; w. w. Leach, clerk; c. B. Fiske, treasurer; R. s. Hicks, A. M. Young, George c. Flynt, c. E. Fish, Ru- fus Flynt, A. M. Grannis, directors. A. M. Young of Waterbury, the president of the present company, has successfully established 2S electric plants throughout New England, nearly all of which are dividend paying properties. The compa- ny at present lights Palmer, Monson, Three Rivers, Thorndike and Bondsville, and are constantly improving the service. The Textile Worlds report of new tex tile mill construction is recognized as the best authority on the subject. Its sta tistics are compiled impartially and with | thoroughness, and it's statistics for 1893 are therefore interesting. The year 1899 was the greatest year of progress in the textile manufacturing interests in the way l of new construction in the history of the industry, and the Textile World states that large proportion of the new mills of 1893 were projected in 1899, but were not sufficiently advanced to justify their appearance in the report of 1892. Their statistics cover those only which have been completed and begun production. The summary of new mills for 1893 shows 172, employing 13, 160 people, as against 272 employing over 3O,000 people in 1899. The greatest majority of new enterprises belong to the first half of the year, having been begun in 1892. There has been nothing done lately.
