FOUR DIEM BURNING FACIORX

MN No. L Of Cochedo Manufacturing
Company, Dover, N. r., Burned to
Ground-Bodies Of -Four Boy oper-
atives, Charred Beyond Hope OF
Identification, Found in Smoking
Ruins and it is Believed Another
VIII be Discovered.
Dover, N. H., Special.-Dover's
most disastrous fire, which occurred
Saturday, cost the lives of four and
probably five young mill operatives
and a property loss of half a million
dollars. The fire destroyed Mill No.
/ of the Cochedo Manufacturing Com
pany. The bodies of four boys, char
red beyond hope of Identification,
were found in the smoking ruins,
and as FIVE boys are known to be miss
ing, it is believed that another body
will be discovered.
The missing boys are:
Charles Cosgrove, aged 16 years.
Constantine Elopulous, aged 16
years.
John Nicholopulous, aged Is years.
-Redden, aged 15 years.
Hester, aged Is years.
Several Of the injured were hurt
while descending by ropes.
The fire broke out in the mill not
long after the 500 or more operatives
had assembled for their days work.
Friction from belt generated sparks,
which lodged in a mass of cotton and
the flames quickly spread throughout
the building. The exits soon became
blocked by a struggling mass of mill
hands, and many were obliged to
jump from the windows. Others Sc
cured ropes and descended to the
ground.
There were several daring rescues
by firemen. Four imprisoned men on
the fourth floor were taken out of a
window, though not until they had
climbed M by one down a stout
pole which the fremen had made fast
to the top of a ladder too short to
reach the window sill. The total loss
is 100000, covered by insurance.

R. R. COMMISSIONERS HERE
MISSED SEEING WRECK
Opportunity Offered to See Grade Crossing "In
 Operation. :"

An excellent opportunity was offered the railroad commissioners last night to see wreck in the largest city in the state, and to comprehend the dangers of grade crossings, about the abolishment of which there has been so much agl- tation in the past few years, and es- pecially In thls city, and over the par ticular crossing at which the wreck occurred.
 The commissioners have been asked to order the abolishment of crossings at times, and have looked the ground over They have seen the crossings In the day time, when everything has been running smoothly.
 Last night by coincidence the com missioners, Andrew F. Gates of Hart ford, o. R. Fyler of Torrington, and William O. Seymour of Ridgefields were in the city when there was an acci- dent at a grade crossing, trolley car struck by train, the only one which has ever happened here and boy was killed. The grade crossing was in full working order.
 Two commissioners went to the police station, where the motorman was talk en, and stayed there a few minutes. Then with the other commissioner they sat and chatted at the New Haven house, perhaps planning for some flu ture campaign. At any rate other pol iticians dropped around
 The railroad commissioners had an unparalleled chance to see a wreck, the result of grade crossings,-and they missed It.
