ITS ORIGIN UNCERTAIN
Colts Factory at Hartford
Badly Damaged.
VALUABLE PATTERNS LOST.
Governments Gatling Gun Contracts
Will Not Be Interfered With.

HARTFORD, Feb. l2.-Fire broke out In
the Colts Patent Fire Arms company's
shop at l:5o yesterday afternoon and In
two hours destroyed aoout $l50,0Oo worth
Of property.
The burned building Is a stone and
brick structure, 80 by 500 feet, and three
stories high, with an immense attic. Ii
was the connecting section between the
east and west armories, and was mainly
used az storehouse by the Colts COM
pany.
The origin of the fire is uncertain. II
was discovered by Tom Dillon, watch
man, who heard a roaring which he
thought was caused by the engine Find
ing the conhagration under full headway
on the second floor Of the wing. he rung
the alarm, which Chief Eaton followed
with a general alarm 10 minutes later.
The whole eastern end of the burning
section was soon a mass OF fire. Floor
after floor fell through, precipitating 81
new printing presses, all boxed, ready for
shipment today, into the cellar.
Valuable Patterns Destroyed.
The attic contained all the Colts COM
pany's patterns. In English and Circas-
sian walnut, of Gatling guns, and all the
arms made by the factory. These burned
6srcely, making a magnificent spectacle.
Work was confined to saving the western
part Of the structure. which was done.
The building and stock OF the Colts COM
pany are insured through the agency OF w.
Beardslsy for 10000 He estimates the
total loss to the company at $50, 900, half
of which is on the building.
This includes the stored spare
machinery and the property of the Bid
well Circle company, lately defunct, and
IS thought by Vice President Hall and
Superintendent Grover much too small
for the actual loss. The chief losers are
the Phoenix, Etna, Hartford, National
and Connecticut companies OF this city.
II the boilers are not injured the en-
Rines will be started as usual. Work will
at once be started On the repairs The
works employ about 500 men. The gov
ernment Calling gun contracts will not
be impeded. None of the firearms stock
is injured.
The whole shop was burned on Feb. 8,
1864, causing loss of 81 500, 900, not long
after Colonel Colts death, a singular Co
incidence with the present fire soon after
Collie Colts death.

LOthrop's Providence Opera House.
1t is safe to say that the drama,
"Money Mad" which is to be produced
for the first time in this city at Lothrop's
Opera House tonight, Is the strongest In
all its attributes of any that have ever
been produced at this house by Manager
Lothrop. From its opening scene it at
tracts the interest OF the auditor and as
its plot develops, the story, which is
written In vigorous English, grows more
and more entertaining. The cest is par
ticularly strong. j. Francis Klrke il
doing great piece OF work in the leading
heavy role OF Cary Hawkins; William
Farnum Il particularly strong as the

The great bridge scene is wonderfully

night for an engagement OF three evenings

A convention OF ii delegates from Irish
societies OF the city OF Providence met In
Hibernian Hal IN that city last night and
voted to parade on st. PatrIck's Day
after long discussion.
The convention had voted at a previous
meeting To parade, but John Moran of
Div. 3, A. q. IL, moved to rescind the vote
and that started the ball rolling. 1t
seemed There were more in favor OF not
parading than there were at the last meet
ing.
A communication was recievedI from
Col. Moran OF the Second Regiment
practically giving the men OF his regiment
To understand that they would not be
allowed 10 wear their uniforms on tho
18th.
He advised the committee to give up a
parade and 50 to church on Sunday fol-
lowing st. Patrick's Day. This caused
breeze and Lieut.. Kirwan said the
militia would parade without uniforms.
After several motions OF different kinds,
but all OF thu same nature, il was voted to
parade. Every society was pledged for 80

in This C!tv.
Results OF the Polo Games and Other Notes
OF Interest

The prospects are bright for a State
League OF amateur base ball clubs the
coming season, the meeting which was
held in this city Saturday evening being
productive OF encouraging results. There
were present representatives of the Wood
bines and Stars or this city, Banner Boys
and Athletics Of Providence; Russells and
SaranHcs of Oneyville; Natick and Clyde.
A committee was appointed TO form a
temporary organization and report at the

remarkabl for the excellence in passing
and juggling done by the members of
both teams.
The whaIers Defeated.
Suffering under the bad defeat sustained
at the hands OF the Grays on the previous
evening, the Grays beat the New Bedfords
TO the tune of s to before the largest au-
dlenCe of the season at Infantry Hall Sat-
urday evening. The Whalers were weak
ened by the absence OF Doe and FITZGERALD.
John Smith left his cage once and rus he'd
up the floor, gave Furbush terrific fall
while Cunningham Gagged the ball.
Sports of All Sorts.
The Pawtucket contingent at Infantry
Hall always favor the visiting polo team
with their applause and make about as
much noise as the Providence rooters.
Dlckie Pierce is putting up a better
article of polo at the present time than
any other rusher In the league.
Pswtucket will surely be represented
with a strong team in the polo league next

with this end in view.
Tom Cotter Will not play base hall this
Summer, but will start in business in
Walthsm.
The polo fever has become epidemic In
