THE VERMONT PHOEOTX, BRATTLEBORO FKIDAY, JULY 12, 1901. BRATTLEBORO FIRE IN THE HOISERY FACTORY. Good Work of the Department Pre- vented Serious Loss Spontaneous pombustlon Probably the Cause. Firo broke out In the finishing room of the Drattleboro Hosiery company's factory Saturday night about 9.50 o'clock and an alarm from box 3G called out the fire department. It was the second time that week that the services of the department were called for and, as on the former occasion, the good work of the department prevented a heavy loss, where a delay of a few minutes would have meant serious results.

The fire was discovered by Thomas Fcrrlter, who was sitting on the steps of Hotel Drattleboro. Mr. Ferrlter pulled In the alarm and started for tho factory with S. W. Knight, C.

H. Thompson and one or two others who happened to be near tho bridge, and they began throwing water on the flames. By tho time the first round of the alarm had sounded the horses were hitched to the combination chemical and hose wagon, which lost no time In reaching the fire. The hose of the chemical wagon was unreeled and It was then discovered that the hose had been tampered with and dlscon ncctcd from the chemical tank. It was impossible to connect the hose so the firemen 'seized the hand extin gulshcrs which go with the wagon and emptied the contents on to the flames.

By this time steamer No. 3, hose com panles No. 15 and No. and the hook and ladder company had arrived and made connections. A line of hose with a shut-off nozzle was carried Into the room and the flames were extln guishcd with a small amount of water.

While this was being done another stream was directed at the fire with out orders from Chief Sanders, but this stream was shut oft at Mr. Saiv Uers's order before material damage wns done. So well was the water handled that goods on only one side of the room were wet. How the hose of the chemical wagon became un coupled Is a mystery, as it can be un coupled only by the use of tools. The fire started In a dry-goods box filled with paper and rags, and proba bly was caused by spontaneous com bustlon as there were no electric wires near.

In one corner, next to the box where tho fire started, were nearly $1000 worth of finished hose in boxes piled on the floor, and there were several hundred dollar's worth lying loose on shelves. The goods on shelves were principally children's hose In fancy colors, easily damaged by smoke. Little damage would have resulted to the hose In boxes had It not been for the fact that they were acci dentally tipped over and were tread upon by the crowd. A box containing $300 worth of silk was wet, but the contents were not damaged. The to tal loss will be about $14Q0 Including a small loss on the building.

The prop erty was Insured through the agencies of H. E. Taylor Son and C. F. R.

Roess Mra Pnthnrlno Rolle Roess, wife of John D. Roess. died at her home on Brook street late sunuay aiieruuuu. Viad hppn 111 throe weeks, but tho end camo suddenly and unexpectedly to the family, ueatn was pruuuwu fmm rohrnl hemorrhage, wmcn uc- casioned total unconsciousness during the last 12 hours which sho lived. She was the daughter of Fritz Rollo and was born in Hesse Cassel, Germany, 03 years ago.

Nearly three vears since she camo from Staten Island as Mrs. Ascnerman anu was married to Mr. Roess. Sho leaves beside her husband three daughters, Mrs. Bertha Sacho of Denver, Mrs.

Mary Wlckham of Brooklyn, and Miss Kate Ascnerman of Stnten Island; two sons, Rudolph and Frederick Ascnerman of Staten Island, four grandchildren, Sydney Wlckham, Edell, Gertrude and Charlie Sacho; ono sister, Mrs. Mary' Becker of New York; one brother, Frederick Rolle of Staten Island. Her daughter, Mrs. Wlckham, has cared for her during much of her Illness and lovingly administered to her comforts, but waB so overwhelmed at the shock of her mother's death that she was prostrated for several days and much anxiety was felt concerning the outcome of her condition. The funeral was held at the house last Tuesday at 4 p.

Roess had lived In Brattleboro less than three years, by her originality and her true and strong Individuality Bho had endeared herself to all her acquaintances. Her sunny temperament together with her loving, motherly manners had made her a necessity In the home Into which she has so recently come; always gentle and forbearing and ready with a willing heart to administer to the comforts and happiness of her family. Her death comes with crushing grief to her husband who Is In feeblo health and sadly In need of tho loving care and sympathy that only a noble and true wife can give. Her departure adds another to tho long list of afflictions which have befallen Mr. Roess, and no "less than eight caskets havo been carried from his door In recent years, but ho Is consoled by the beautiful thought that all his dear ones have gone over the river onfy a few days In advance of himself.
