yesterday that the old Plumley lumber
mill on Mt. Pico and the Gould luIn-
Dor mill at Windham, both owned by
the Vermont Marble company, were de-
stroyed by fire Tuesday night at al
most the same time and under similar
circumstances. The origin of the fire
Is a mystery in each case.
Employees doubt the theory that the
fires were set, and declare the whole
matter only a strange coincidence. The
company, 1t was stated yesterday, win
rebuild the mills at once, as they con-
stituted the chief source of its supply,
and some difficulty may be experienced
in securing the necessary lumber for
use at Proctor
The Plumley mill was formerly ope-
rated by Frank Plumley of Sherburne.
Twelve men were employed. There Ii
fully 100000 feet of lumber on the
grounds, ready to saw

10000 feet Of sawed and planed lumber

RAILING FALLS DOWN.
Curves Not Bendy Enough to Suit
"Chickn Stahl.

Little Rock, Ark, March ii. The
Boston Americana squad has been re-
dueed by one. The missing member is
pitcher Tom Railing, who was signed
from the Texas league early in the sea,
son.
Even before the time for reporting
there drifted stories to the ears Of the
Boston American management chat Rail-
ing wasn't Of major league calibre by
any means. But President Taylor and
Manager Stahl decided that the young
man should have every chance in the
world-more Of a chance, perhaps, than
some of the others.
II didn't take the experienced eye
long to discover that Railing wasn't the
brand of a pitcher that lasts in fast
company. He didn't show speed enough
to entitle him to a good minor league
club, and his curves were hit Tuesday
afternoon with an abandon that con.
WINGED Manager Stahl that release was
the only proper course to pursue

ings papers in the hopes that he may bf
able to catch on elsewhere before all Of
the minor league clubs have sheir pitch
ing corps made up. One man at Little
Rock who knew Railing well was Mike
Finn, formerly manager Of the old New.
port club Of the New England league
He had seen Railing work before and
declared that he wouldn't take him a,
a gift.
In the course of few days Railing
however, will have plenty of company
There is an even score of players here
which, with the quintctte at the Springs

sion that not more than 20, if as many
as that, will ever pull out Of Little Rock
as members of the team.
