LARGE FACTORY BURNED.
Nelson & Hall Company Suffer Loss
of About $4,000,

Montgomery Center, Dec. 26-The
Nelson e Hall Company, the princi-
pal industry of the town was burned
to the ground Friday. The loss is
placed between $4,000 and 100000
and about $50 hands are thrown out
of employment. This is the third
time this concern has been burned
out in the past IL years.
The fire started in the finishing
room and is of unknown origin. 1t
was discovered at $40 o'clock and
had gained such Roadway that the
entire plant was dispaired of from
the first. 1t was a three story wood
en- structure of large dimensions and
with the contents was particularly
combustible. Practically no fighting
apparatus was available and after the
books and papers of the company had
been rescued from the office there
was little to do but idly watch the
/ destruction. The building was locat-
ed such distance from other struc-
lures that the remainder of the town
was at no time in danger,
1t was impossible tonight to ascer-
tain the amount of insurance carried
or the prospects of rebuilding The
| factory was working full time and
had many orders ahead About 1870
hands were employed in the mill with
force of 20 in the timber camps.

ASYLUM ON fire
Dangerous Inmates Of Burning Build
ing Removed without Injury

Waterbury, Dec. 24.-The State
Hospital for the Insane was visited
by fire this afternoon, the flames be-
ing discovered about 1 80 by one of
the attendants on duty in Ward ),
which contains the dangerous male
inmates of the institution. The en-
tire roof and upper portion of the
building used for this purpose, 100
feet in length was burned off, and
considerable damage done to the
third story of the structure, but the
two lower floors we're damaged prin-
cipally by water which was freely
used in quenching the flames. The
loss will amount to about $4,000,
which is fully covered by insurance.
The patients in the burning build
ing, 105 in all, were hustled out by
the attendants in short order and not
soul was injured except perhaps
one or two firemen, who suffered
frost bites on account of the icy wa
ter drenching their clothing and their
exposure to the freezing atmosphere.
| One of the attendants immediately
turned stream of water from one
of the standpipes on the flames, which
originated in what is known as a
| dry closet where the mops are
hung on the third floor of the build
ing, but the fire spread to the attic
of the building and ran through the
length of the structure in about 20
minutes. The Montpelier fire de-
partment was asked to aid in subdu-
ing the flames, but later message
was sent informing them of the fact
that the fire was under control and
their presence was not needed. The
roof fell in about half an hour after
the discovery of the fire, but by the
heroic efforts of the asylum fire de-
partment, aided by the Waterbury
fire company, the flames were con-
fined to the top floor of the building,
and although the bedding of the pa
tients in that ward was burned,
there was no further loss of personal
effects.
The steam pump owned by the
institution did valiant service in put
ting out the fire and augmented the
local water service considerably al
though the well from which the sup
ply was drawn was pumped dry
twice during the course of the after
noon.
The patients are distributed about
the other wards tonight, but it is eX-
petced that about % of them will be
sent to the Brattleboro Retreat until
the building is rebuilt, the work of
which will be begun Immediately.
Two of the trustees, ID. d. Bur.
nett, of Pittsford, and C. H. a.
Stafford, of Morrisville, arrived this
evening and are looking over the
premises with an idea of estimating
the loss and making plans for the i'm
mediate rebuilding of the burned por-
ton of the hospital, .. -l,-.

for stamps. This average applied TO
the whole country would give a week
