 and E. H. Reach have been at the church homstead in Ashford this week, for an ice fishing trip. as guests Of Henry E. Church of Hartford. | W K. Jitch, treasurer of the con cern. has given notice that the stock holders of the Sabin Worsted com : 1 terminate the corporate existence of l the company.
 The Workabit club of the Congre- gational church ha splanned a candy pull for this afternoon.
 l Mill extensions planned for Kihigly during 1920 will provide employment for at least an addition 1,0e0 opera 1 lives, and this means an increase of from 1000 to 5000 in the towns pop tSlatiGn. Vserily, Killingly is hitting it's stride.
 The plant of the Central Cotton Yarn company at Central Village was burned to the ground Friday mornink | in a spectacular fire that broke out shortly after nine o'clock.
 All efforts to save the structure with | the limited amount of fire apparatus 1 on hand proved unavaihng, though l the fight made by the firemen saved the surrounding dwellings from de- | struction.
 The loss. estimated at not less than l $25 000 is total, as there was no in- surance on the mill, the machinery or l the stock.
 A spark that flashed in one of the pickers and which probably was caus- ed by ] piece of metal running | through the machine is believed to l have caused the fire, which spread l through the old wooden structure with l great rapidity and soon enyeloped 1 what what was known as the old part l of the mill in flames.
 The mill was operated by. George s. I Collins and John E. Collins and was known formerly as the Cutler mills | located in the Kennedy City section 1 of Central Village. T1ae mill and part 1 of the machinery was owned by Ed | win Cutler mad Mrs. Mabel ThurbeT of Providence, the property being in l the care of B. J. Cutler of Central l Village.
 When it. was realized that the fire was to be of xnfious nature mes
 sage was telepnoned to Danielson for aid and the Captain Putnam Engine company was called out, making the
 run to the fire in thirteen minutes. The efforts of the Danielson fire
 men were handicapped by reason o1
 anchor ice working into the suction
 pipe,- the end of which had been TUT into the river that skirts the edge O. the mill, the ice being sucked up into the pipe and blocking the screens. Tfs big bumper, which was working me chanicany perfect, should have beer
 delivering from TOO to 1000 gallons z | minute, but it never nearly reached that capacity on account of the ict
 choking up the suction pipe screens 7 At times the streams dwindled away almost to nothing and then the fire men, who would be making goot , headway in checking the fire would :. see their efforts go almost for naught
 As the streams failed the fire would
 rage up again and threaten to envelol a two tenement dwelling that stand : in the mill yard. The fine serEic' rendered by a bucket brigade reall. did great deal toward saving tn,
 house at the times when the stream from the bumper failed on accoun . of the ice clogging in the suctiol pipes.
 The heat from the fire was terriffi . and there were times when the fire : men had to face seething mass 0 flames and make the best of it in tl1ei | effort to keep the streams where the were most needed. At one time whei aI the fire was at it's height the mi !
 ten good streams of water would no : have been too much to have tough ? it successfully.
 yf Some of the waste. of which ; years supply had just been, stocked , was saved from the burn 7 ing building, but the greater par : of this raw material and a valuabl :. quantity of finished product were los 5 in the flames.
 The company manufactured wickin : for lamps and other such product and was a successful industry givini employment to a small, number o !. hands.
 :. The mill at the front was thre
 story wooden structure, while the req
 of the building, this being a newe
 part, was two stories.
 During the course of the fire Joni 8 E. Collins had his hand injured. bu ]. the hurt was not a serious one. Georg 9 s. Collins, the senior member of tn
 firm operating the plant, is confine' [ to his home recovering from an injury
 The Danielson f1remcn were serve l 8. lunch and hot coffee after thei
 work at the fire had been completed. t It is expected that the nearly $3D raised by contributions from the pub lie will be about sufficient to put tn

 der again. The clock has not bee 2 striking since the heavy weights le l go from the mechanism last fall an
 crashed down to the street level c
