Monday. at midnight, about % feet
of the wall. composing the boiler
house, being built at the plant of the
Somerset Fibre Co, here. by charge of
II. Purinton & co. of Watcrville, fell
with a loud crash. No serious damage
resulted although it might have been
far different as IA few moments before
the wall fell, men were working di-
rcctly under the spot where the brick
landed. The cause Of the wall falling
was due to the fact that the mortar
used in its construction, had frozen
and the present warm spell was too
much for it.

One of the best informed ice men
along the river reported, yesterday af-
ternoon that the soft spell had affect
cd the ice but a very little. There are
few places where the brooks and
streams empty into it that it has worn
away little. The frost has not come
out of it and but a very little has gone
off the top. That which has melted the
most is the snow that was on it and
which is more of a help than loss.
