NEARLY A PANIC.
When Paper Float Caught Fire in Crowd
ed Dance Hail.

Nearly 900 men, women and children
were thrown into small panic at the
annual masquerade dance OF the
Italian local Socialist party in the So,
eialist hall on Granite street Saturday
night when u large float constructed e
represent allegoreally workman
home took fire and the flames threatS 4,

floats nearby. For the space of a We n
few moments il looked as though a ca
tastrophe of serious proportions would
ensue for once the flames enveloped the
paper house there was concerted rush
for the exits. Cooler heads, however,
shouted to the crowd TO remain station
AIRY and before the dancers and specta-
tors could reach the main doors, the
word was quickly passed around that the
danger was over.
The alarm started when Luigi Brusa,
who was later to capture first prize
among the maskers for his ingenious
tloat, accidentally brought lighted
candle into contact with the paper walls
Of the house. Almost in the twinking of
an eye, the little structure that Mr.,
Brusa and others had wheeled about the
hall with pride was burning like a waste
paper fire. Women screamed and lit
tic children began to cry. Two or three
OF the floor managers rushed to the
scene of the fire and, seeing that the
blaze would end with the destruction of
the paper house if proper precautions
were taken, they ordered the crowd
to be calm. The reassuring tones Of the
managers had a desired effect on the
dancers and before many minutes had
passed quiet was restored. Although as
many as haf the dancers must have
made for the front entrance at the first
alarm, no one was injured and few if
any reached the doors so soon was the
danger averted.
The dance was one of the most sue
cessful IN years. The stonecutters' band
furnished music and at one time it is
estimated that 300 couples were on the
loor. The masqueraders appeared in
riot of color and costume and the fol-
owing awards were made: First prize,
Luigi Brusa; second Romeo Mordani;
third Mr.. Coneyera; fourth, John Ma
larini. All of the prize winners represent
ID different phases Of the Socialist propo-
yanda, such as pictures OF family life |
nder Socialist regime, the growth of
he movement in America, and compari-
ons Of the workingmen and their fam
lies Of different nationalities Refresh
nents were served during the evening
nd except for the unfortunate incident /

yer carried out by the local party.

RAILROAD EXTENSION USED.
Work on Barre Railroad Construction
Adds Mile and a Half Trackage.

The extension of the Barre railroad to
quarry land on the east side of Milestone

operations right up to last week as ~
result of which the extension was put
into operation much sooner than was
anticipated last fall. The construction
gang did not lose a single day on the
work because of excessive cold weather,
although part of the time il was engaged
in cutting through ledge for the track.
With the virtual completion OF the
work. the Barre railroad, one of the
shortest and at the same time one of
the best paying railroads in the country.

increasing the total mileage OF
the line to 27. all OF which is located in
the quarry district. save for the main
line. which runs from the Wiley street
bridge in the north end Of the city up
the side OF Milestone hill to the quarries.
The main line is a strip OF four miles,
or thereabouts. leaving by far the great
er mileage included in the maze OF sid
ings into the various duarries.
The Barre railroad now taps nearly
al the developed quarry land on Mill
