The probable location of the new i,jant of the w. w. Mildrum Jewel company will be on the plot of land m East Berlin directly in the rear nf the tennis courts. When the com nany, the factory of which was de- stroyed by fire early yesterday morn ing, will start work on the new building is not known.
 That modern, fully equipped brick building will house the organ ization's apparatus is the current re- port. Until such time as the build ing is completed the plant will oper- ate in the k. o. Clark machine shop. No time has been lost In getting things in working order and the force was on duty today getting the house in order" so that production may continue with only the slightest delay.
 The fire, which broke out at about o'clock yesterday, destroyed the building occupied by the concern, and the home of Mrs, Martha Mc- Crum next door, was of undeter- mined origin. Several theories have been advanced, the most logical be- ing that crossed electric light wires caused the blaze. Another eXplana- ton is that an overloaded furnace started the contla grafton.
 The estimated loss, including the home of Mrs. McCrum, will probably total between $S0,000 and s40,oee, partially covered by insurance. The exact loss to the Midrum firm has not been completely figured as yet, since there was a great deal of com pIeted and partially completed work in the factory, the. value of which has not been determined.
 10th buildings were burned to the ground, nothing being saved ex- cept a table and the piano in the MeCrum residence, and a negligible amount of apparatus from the fact ors.
 Residents of surrounding towns, seeing the clouds of smoke, rushed to the scene and soon the Main street of the village was crowed with people. Cars were parked along the entire length of the street.
 Explosion Awakens Residents
 Adolf Malcein, whose home is short distance from the foctory, was building fire in the kitchen at about o'clock, when he was startled by a muffled explosion. He went to the front of the house, thinking that a tire on an Rutomo- bile had exploded.
 Upon going to the middle of the road, and glaneIng in the direction of he jewel company, he perceived flames shooting from several of the windows. Other neighbors were awakened and several rushed to the building.
 The fire was well started by this time and was rapidly gaining head way, the interior being a seething mass of flames. The New Britain fire department was communicated with, Chief William c. Noble and Engine company No, responding.
 Meanwhile. the large crowd Of residents which had gathered, per ceiving that an entrance to the place could not be gained, proceed cd to form bucket brigade, but the
