MRS. L. A. ADAMS.
Death Of Widow of A. Y. Adams. Formerly a
Resident Of Bennington.

Mrs Lydia A. Adams, widow of A.
Y. Adams, died February both. at the
home of her only daughter, Mrs Chas
L. Hallett, in Boston, where she had
been living for the past nine months.
Although having been in poor
health for several years, the immediate
cause of her death was a shock, which
affected the left side of her body. She
became totally blind, and also lost
the power of speech, remaining in a
comatose state until the end, which
came peacefully at the close of the
third day. Mrs Adams was born in
Truxton, N. Y, October %, 1881, and
was married to Mr. Adams September
s, 1852, in Troy by the Rev B. o.
Meeker, in the choir of whose church
she was leading soprano at the time.
Later, Mr. Meeker was pastor of the
church In Bennington, and found Mrs
Adams filling a similar position here.
Since 1866 Mrs Adams had been q
resident of Bennington, and until re-
cent years had taken an active part in
the Methodist church, of which she was
a consistent member. The loss of her
husband, six years ago, afte- mar
ried life and close companionship of
forty-four years, was great blow to
her, from which she never recovered.
The remains we're brought to Ben
nington by her daughter and son-in-
law, and after a service which was
held at the Methodist church Monday
afternoon, the Rev DIR ,Washburne Of
ficiating, they we're placed in the re-
ceiving tomb, until warmer weather.
when they will be inferred by the side
of her husband in the village cemetery.

AN EARLY FIRE.
Store House At the Valentine Knitting Plant
Burned Down.


An alarm. of fire from box 80 about
o'clock Tuesday morning brought
out the fire department.
The fire proved to be in building
formerly dwelling house, but for
some time past used as store house
by the Valentine Knitting company.
II was situated just across the river so
that there was no immediate access to
the mill.
BY the time the fire department was
on hand the building was well on fire.
It contained manufactured goods,
trimmings, and few pieces of
machinery, these, together with the
building, were burned.
Major Valentine says that it will be
impossible to give exact loss until iu-
ventory is taken, hut that it is only
partially insured 1t is generally
thought that the origin was incen-
diary.
Stark hose had the first stream on,
followed closely by the Putnams, a
stream was also furnished from the
private hydrants of the company.
There was an insurance of $500 on
the building. The loss on the contents
win be about $4,000, which it is ex-
pected is covered by the blanket policy
that the company carried on its prop
erty. The manufactured goods had
all been sold aud were stored in the
building awaiting the time to ship
them.
