ANGUS PARK ESCAPES
 FROM BURNING HOTEL

Clad only in an overcoat, Angus Park, owner o fthe Airlie mills at Hanover, barely escaped from the Lorraine Hotel in Providence. which was totally destroyed by fire early on Wednesday morning. D. P. Warwick, an agent of MT. Park, and brother of George M. Warwick of this city, was trapped in the blaze and was forced to jump from, a window re- ceiving injuries that caused his death at a hospital later in the day.
 MT. Park had gone to Providence on Tuesday to confer with two of his agents, Mir Warwick and Robert Lattimer of New York. The three men had stopped at the hotel. MT. Warwick and MT. Lattimer occupy ing the same room while Mr. Park occupied another. When the alarm of fire was given MT. Park put on an overcoat and escaped by a ladder that the f1remen had placed at his window. MT. Lattimer made his es- cape by the way of the fire escape but MT. Warwick not realizing the immediate danger, took time to dress with the result that when he was ready to leave all means of escape had been cut off and he was forced to jump.
 MT. Warwick was a native of Can ada and has followed the mill indus try all his life. For a number of years he was superintendent of the Arlie Mills, Hanover and was also a designer of cloth. He left Hanover about seven years ago, going to Har- risville. where he became a part own CT in the Glengarry Woolen Mills, be-
