TOLLAND'S BIG FIRE.

 Rockville, Feb, 1.-The Underwood belting factory, occupied by the Will liam Sumner Belt company, and ad- joining four tenement houses, at Tol- land, were completely destroyed by fire last night. Loss $50,000; insurance $20, 900.
 The fire started on the lower floor, and is supposed to have been of incen- diary origin. . The mill was four stories high, and the entire structure was soon envelop- ed In flames, as the only two hydrants availab ble afforded little water protec- ton.
 There was no wind, or large part of the village would have been de- stroyed. -F'.e
 Harry l.. Adams, yarn manufactures, occupied rooms in the mill and lost $5,000 in machinery and stock, while 400 cords of wood, owned by the Belt company, were burned.
 William Sumner is principal owner of the factory and William Agard treasurer of the concern.
 The company had a stock valued at $20, ,000 on hand. a
 The mill was the only industry in the village, and will probably not be rebuilt.

MAY PROVE A TRAGEDY.

Hartford, Feb. 1.-Section gangs on the Consolidated road between Hart ford and Springfield have been on the lookout since Thursday evening for the body of some person thought at that time to have been struck by a train from Springfield which arrived about three hours late On the cowcatcher and on the front of the locomotive were splashes of blood, and it is thought that a man had been struck on the track probably this side of Windsor Locks.
 No trace has been found of any body up to a late hour this afternoon. It was at first supposed that the body struck was thrown into a gathering drift and covered by the rapidly falling snow. In that event it is now supposed the remains would have been discover ed by this time.

Crime Supposed to Have Been Done By
 Depositors.
 Hollidaysburg, Pa, Feb. 1.-The de- struction of the banking house of Gardner, Morrow & Co.,, which stands on the principal business square, was attempted by the use of dynamite early this morning.
 The bank door was torn from it's fastenings and hurled to the rear of the room; the floor was partially de- stroyed; bricks were loosened and not whole pane of glass was left. No damage was done to the vault.
 There is no clue to the perpetrators, but it is believed that the crime was the act of depositors.
 Last September the bank failed, and the statement of it's condition made a few weeks ago indicates that it was in an insolvent condition for many years. Its assets are only sufficient to pay be- tween fifteen and twenty cents on the dollar.
