SPONTANEOUS COMBUSTION
Said to Have Been Cause of Thames
 Mill Fire.

Whether the mill of the Thames town of Waterford will be rebuilt is probable that a stock company will be formed and that the establishment will be made ready for a resumption of business without unnecessary de- lay.
 The apparatus of the Niagara com pany from New London remained at the scene of the fire and worked there nearly all day on "Wednesday.
 On Wednesday it was stated that it had been ascertained that the fire broke out in bales of cotton and it is believed it started from spontaneous combustion.
 The demand for the product of the ill was largely due to the war in
 urope. Contracts were coming along
 rapidly that many of them were de- ciined. Only Tuesday a contract for a large quantity of the product of the mill was signed. It is not known whether the contracts are so worded that the Thames Dyeing company will have the opportunity of cancelling them or whether the concern must have the work done elsewhere. Which ever way that turns. the dyeing con- pany will suffer very large loss.
 In one thing the mill was fortunate In having a big consi gnment of cotton or the way to the mill and also a quantity in storage in the old Boss building on Water street. New Lon- don, which of course was not reached by the fire.

If it is too thin stimulate the hair roots and bring out the new hairs. If it is too dry and brittle, soften it up-lubTicate it. Ii you have dandruff It's because the scalp is too dry and flakes off.

NEW DENIED THAT
 LIEUTENANT TOOK MONEY.
But No Trace of Weqeenan Has Been
 Reported.

No trace whatever has been obtained of Lieutenant Weggenan, U. s. A, who disappeared from Fort Wright, where he had charge of the post store, and it is not known that the war department is making any effort to locate him. The statement that Weggenan took several thousand dollars that belonged to the post when he went away is denied, now that the first stories of the dedication have been investigated. It is said that Weggenan took only sufficient funds to carry him and that he left ten times as much as he took that he might have gotten away with.
 What led Weggenan to leave is a mystery, although there are those at the fort who claim they could make good guess as to why he left. They refuse to talk, but they intimate that he had affairs that troubled him and which he seemed to be unable to con- trol. He is said to have been a like able fellow who was respected and even admired for his many excellent qualities. Weggenan is believed to have gone from the United States, but where he went to no one seems to be afle to state. It is thought he has gone across the Atlantic and that he has enlisted in one of the armies now in conflict in Europe-New London Globe.
