St. Augustine, Fla, April 4.-The entire water front section of St. Augustine was wiped out by fire which started early in the morning. The city was put under martial law. The fire has destroyed many of the build iIgs along the bay front, and four of the smaller hotels-the Clairmont, the Magnolia, the Munson and the Florida House--have been either destroyed or damaged. Troops are on guard to prevent footing while the firemen battle against the flames. An uniden- tified woman leaped from the third floor of the Florida House and was

removed to the hospital with a broken back She is unconscious and cannot possibly recover. The guests in this hotel were panic stricken. One of them, A. Libby, also leaped from the second floor breaking his leg. The famous Vedder House was totally de- stroyed. It contained the priceless collection of the St. Augustine Histori- cal society. The area so far burned is inclosed within Charlotte, Treasury, Hypolita. and St. George streets. In that district practically all the build- ings have been destroyed or badly damaged. The loss will total over $1,00O,00O.

Berlin News TRAP ROCK CONCERN
 TO BE REORCAN|zED Conn. Trap Rock and ConstTs;tion
 Co. Locates in Bcck|cy. CHICKEN THIEVES AGAIN ACTIVE
Frank N. Bacon Reports Loss of Eleven Prize ChickenS-Berlin Farmers Club Meets in NeWingtOn TOnight-D. A. R. to Elect.

The Connecticut Trap Rock and Construction company, a close cor pOration with a capital stock of $c0,0O0 is being organized in Beckley Quarter and papers of incorporation will be taken out very soon. The new firm succeeds the Connecticut Crushed Stone company which was foreclosed a short time ago by Frank Becher of Hartford.
 Eight buildings, ground storage tunnel and ,fifty-three acres of land, which were used by the old concern, have been appropriated, all the old machinery has been tested and put into perfect condition and operations will be resumed at the plant in less than six weeks time. Officers are to be elected in the course of a few days. Employment will be afforded about eighty men by the new company.
 The Connecticut Crushed Stone company's death knell was sounded when. after series of difficulties brought about in competition with the Suffield-B Berlin Trap Rock company across the way: the officers were un- ahle to pay Frank Becher of Hartford the interest due him on a mortgage This barrier has now been broken by
 
 for the mortgage he held on it. The fact that there were no other bidders made this action possible The plant as it now stands is worth about $S2,O00.
 Officers elected at the organization of the Connecticut Crushed Stone com pany in February of 1912 were the president, Louis Russell of Hartford; ; the vice president Mr. PediCk of Rockville; the secretary, Carl Becher of Hartford and the treasurer and general manager, Harry E. Hall of New York. Since the concern dis banded, Mr. Russell has been incapa- titated. Mir. Hall was taken ill a snort time ago with ptomaine poisoning and will not return east to enter into the new venture. For this reason, it is probable that an entirely new per- sonnel will be selected to manage the affairs of the Connecticut Trap Rock and Construction company, in which local men are interested.
 The machinery was used but little by the former company as they had not begun to fill any orders other than to supply the town of Berlin with some stone for roadwork. It is therefore. in the best of condition. All that is lack ing at the plant, which is situated on the Berlin Middletown branch of the railroad, is spur track, and this will be installed as soon as possible
 D. A. R. to Elect Officers
 Officers for next year will be elect ed at the May meeting of Emma RssK Willard chapter, D. A. R., which

 Members of the chapter were very much impressed with the state vice regent, Mrs. Charles Bissell of Southington, who attended the meet ing yesterday afternoon and made a few remarks.
 Town Home Inmates Healthy.
 Tn compliance with a state law passed recently, Selectman William H. Gibney has had the four inmates Of the Town home examined for the purpose of ascertaining whether or not they have any symptoms of tuberculosis. Dr. R. M. Griswold has just made his report, which states that those at the home are all in the best of health.
 Chicken Thieves Again Active.
 Frank N. Bacon of Beckley Quar- ter, treasurer of the town school com mittee, reported last night that eleven prize chickens, valued at about thirty five dollars, had been stolen from his henneries some time Wednesday night. The thieves deprived one of his neighbOrs of all his stock.
 Circumstances in these robberies are similar to those attending many similar cases which have been brought to the attention of the author ities, the outstanding fact being that the thieves appeared to have been acquainted with the surroundings of the GOODS which they have plundered. This was again brought out in the raid at MT. Bacon's place, for to reach his pen of prize stock it was neces- sary for the troublemakers to pass through d long coop of common stock, none of which was taken.
 The state offers a reward. for the capture of chicken thieves, and local poultry fanciers are on the lookout for the marauders

JOHN MILLER G IS
HiNO CUT OFF.
Sawyer at Woolford s. Smiths Mill
Loses One Hand in Attempting to
Adjust Saw.

John Miller, former resident of
Baltimore. but for the past few mon
tbs employed as an expert workman
by the lumber firm of Woolford G.
Smith, of this city, lost his right
hand yesterday as the result of at
tempting to make an adjustment of
a saw from the front, instead of the
rear of the machine. DR.. E. E.
Wolff responded quickly to the hur-
ry call which was sent him, and the
injured man was taken to the Hospi-
tai, where his wound was given prop
er attention. and he is reported to-
day as getting along very nicely.
Miller, who is an expert workman,
has only been working in Cambridge
a few months, having been employed
most of his time in Baltimore. The
accident is believed to have been the
result of carelessness upon his part.
as all of the instructions in connec-
ton with the machinery were to set
the parts around the saw from be-
hind, but he, being an expert, and
probably having adjusted his ma
chine many times before from the
front, started to do SO yesterday
morning, with the result as stated
above. The accident occurred short
ly before ten o'clock yesterday morn
ing.
This accident illustrates the bene-
fits of the Workmen's Compensation
Law, which was enacted by the re-
cent session of the Legislature, as
the responsibility for such accidents
is taken off of the employer. and the
workman is afforded protection dur
ing his injury and also against acct
dents that result from neglect upon
his own part.
