NEWPORT, r. l., July 1.-The two
masted schooner Mildred A. Pope, Capt. w.
D. Robbins, was run down by the Fall
River liner Puritan Saturday evening while
the steamer was off Faulkner Island bound
from New York to Newport and Fall River
The schooner was damaged so badly by the
collision that 1t was necessary for Capt
Chase of the steamer to lower one of the
life boats and take off the crew, which con-
sisted of Capt. Robbins, his wife and two
men, All were taken to Fall River on the
steamer after the usual stop at Newport
had been made, at which time the accident
was reported by Capt. Chase.
The Puritan carried away her forward
flagstaff and damaged her right forward
woodwork in the collision, and but few of
her large list of passengers knew of the ac-
cident until the steamer touched at New
port. The schooner halls from Machias,
Me-, and had cargo of spiles bound prob
ably for New York.

and told them that If they each put 800

and the day after he was buried The
Methodist minister met the Presbyterian

Report of Village Treasurer Shows De-
ficency OF over $780,

Although the expenditures by the diff
ferent departments Of the village gov
eminent were less in 1906 than in 1905 the
report of the treasurer shows de-
flciency of a little over $500. The trouble
does not seem TO have been a too lavish
expenditure but a too small rate of tax
alton. The annual report Of the bailiffs
recommends tax of 80 cents for general
expenses, five cents for sprinklinG streets,
and 20 cents for highway purposes. max
ing 50 cents in all. Last years tax was
60 cents, but 50 this year will raise a much
larger amount than what was collected
last year, owing to the increase of nearly
a quarter of a million in the appraisal OF
real estate in the village. The increase
of the grand list of the town by the
quadrennial appraisal was Is per cent,
and this was almost entirely within the
corporation limit. II is probable the APP
praisal of personal property will not ma
terialiy change the percentage of in
crease. Following are the expenditures
of the different departments of the viii
lage as compared with those of 1906:

BIG FIRE IN SPRINGFIELD, MASS.
tntlre Plant Of the Phelps Publishing
Company Destroyed and $50 People
Thrown out Of Employment

The entire plant Of the Phelps Publish
ing company. i'm Springfield Mass. com
prising four buildings and covering nearly
an acre of ground was destroyed by fire
Monday morning. causing a loss estimated
at almost $1,000 600. No one was injured
The fire started from spontaneous com
bustion among some benzine-soai5cd rays
in the basement of the main building In
addition to this structure which was
four stories in height, there was another
tour-story building one five stories in
height and a fourth 2la stories. all being
connected by passaEeways. An the build.
ings were of brick. They were located on
West Worthington street The firm plb-
fishes the following magazines: Good
housekeeping, American Agriculturist
Judd Farmer. New England Homestead
and Farm and Home. Arrangements al
ready have been made for the publication
of these journals I'm New York and other
cities until the plant can be rebuilt. The
hre was first discovered by the Waterman
in the basement of the main building. Uo
eNtinguished the blaze i'm the rags and
continued on his rounds. The rags again
became ignited, however and the building
quickly caught fire. A passer-by saw the
hames bursting from the rear of the main
building and quickly sounded the alarm
The automatic sprinklers with which the
buildings were equipped failed to work
properly, and by the time the fremen
arrived the flames had spread so rapidly
that 1T was impossible to save the plant.
Only the entire absence of wind prevented
the fire from communicating to other
buildings, as the plant stood in the heart
OF the Congested business district with
many wooden buildings near by. As soon
as 1t was seen that the Phelps plant was
doomed the fremen turned their atten-
ton mainly to the work of saving sur
rounding structures. which they wet down
thoroughly As no one but the Waterman
was in any of the buildings when the fire
broke out at an early hour, and he had
ample time to get out, there were no
fatalities, and the firemen escaped in
jury Herbert Myrick, president Of
the company stated that the total loss
on buildings, machinery and paper stock
would be very nearly 81 900, 900. practically
covered by insurance About $50 persons
are thrown out of employment by the de-
struction Of the plant, which was one Of
the finest Of its kind in New England.
