MYSTERIOUS FIRE
IN MUNITIONS
SHOP IN RUTLAND
One Building of the F. r. Patch Co. Was
Entirely Consumed, the Loss Being
$25,ooo-Much Other Property
Was Endangered.

Rutland, April 20.--"The fire was
caused by an explosion, the cause OF
which we do not know" declared Presi-
dent +. R. Patch of the r. r. Patch
Manufacturing company, one OF whose
buildings was destroyed by fire late yes
terday afternoon when the lives of 100
workmen were endangered, Mr.. Patch
characterized as unlikely the reported
cause as the dipping of an overloaded
shell into oil. The plant is engaged in
turning out shells for the entente allies.
The loss is $4,000
The fact that there was little or no
wind blowing at the time probably pre-
vented much more disastrous fire. as
it was, many other buildings in the
neighborhood, including six dwelling
houses, caught fire from sparks or from
the intense heat to which they were sub
jected. These were saved only by the
hardest kind Of work by the city depart
ment, the Patch company's private app
paratus. volunteer bucket brigades, sew
eral garden hoses and every other con
ceivable device for checking the spread
of the great mass OF flame which envel
oped the building when the oil tank ex-
poded. A brick wall. II inches in thick
ness, prevented the flames from spread
ing to an adjoining building containing
the engine room.
A gas explosion shortly after the fire
started blew out go panes of glass in
the windows of surrounding buildings.
Frank Woods, an employe of the com
pany, shut off the gas main in nearby
building in time to avert serious ex
plosion. The electric current running
20 the plant was shut off some time be
fore the pole, heavily laden with wires,
toppled over to the ground
The fire started shortly before three
,'clock. Several minutes later, before
.he fire department arrived and while
employees were striving desperately to
prevent the spread of the flames, the |
'il tank exploded, sending mass of |
lame high into the air. 1t was seen |
it once that the building was doomed |
md the efforts OF the fireInen were di-
ected chiefly to the prevention OF fur
her spread of the flames, which threat
ned at times to destroy the entire plant. /
The chemical truck rendered efficient
ervice, responding TO at least four calls

Getting the various buildings caught fire

PIRIE GIVEN S4,o6o.so
BY jury in Suit Against Granite Savings
Bank in County Court.

Returning once to request that a por-
tion OF the Judges charge be read, the
jury in Washington county court, after
8 o'clock yesterday afternoon, came in
with a verdict for the plaintiff to recov-
er S4s060.S9 in the case of j. X. Prie of
Nilliamstown vs.. Granite Savings bank
OF Barre, having considered the evidence
for over five hours. The case was tried
at the September term of court and re-
suited in a disagreement by the jury.
The plaintiff alleged that the bank was
indebted to him to the sum of $4,000,
the amount of a note given by Lowe &
Mercer, former Montpelier granite manu-
faeturers, because of an agreement be-
tween the plaintiff and the bank relative
to collection. When the granite shed of
Lowe & Mercer was destroyed by fire the
insurance money went to the bank to
cover indebtedness but Mr.. Pirie was un-
able to collect on the note.
The jury returned for additional in
structions about 3 o'clock being uncer-
tain as to whether $500 was to be de-
Quoted from the funds available at the
bank, due the Consolidated Lighting COM
pany. If the $500 was to be taken out,
the amount due the plaintiff would have
been reduced to S3,662, but evidently the
jury considered the evidence showed that
the fun amount was available for pay
ment of the note and the verdict was
accordingly, with interest to
the l4th of March. Gordon, Hoar and
Fay represented the plaintiff and Carver
and Wishart the defendant bank.
Foley -Zanleoni Case.
The trial of the case taken up immed-
ately after the disposal of the bank case,

zanleoni, is progressing slowly cross
examination of the first witness, the
not being completed until late
this forenoon. So slowly has the exam
nation been conducted that Judge But
er was moved this forenoon to call at
-ention to the necessity for more rapid
advancement.
The plaintiff sues to recover approxi-
nately 81 400, an amount he claims is
iue him for construction work on the
,uilding which is part of the Park thea
re and the Zanleoni drug store. The
defendant AYERS that the block was not
