THE VERMONT BRATTLEBORO FRIDAY, JULY 12, 1901. BRATTLEBORO LOCAL. IN THE HOISERY FACTORY. Good Work of the Department Prevented Serious Loss--Spontaneous Combustion Probably the Cause. Fire broke out in the finishing room of the Brattleboro Hosiery company's factory, Saturday night about 9.50 o'clock and an alarm from box 36 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 Ferriter, who was sitting on the steps of Hotel Brattleboro. Mr. Ferriter pulled in alarm and started for the factory with S. W.

Knight, C. H. Thompson and one or two others who happened to be near the bridge, and they began throwing water on the flames.he time the first round of the alarm had sounded the horses were hitcheds to the wagon, combination, no chemical time in reaching the The hose of the chemical wagon unreeled and it was then discovered that the hose had been tampered with and disconnected from the chemical tank. It was impossible to connect the hose so the firemen 'seized the hand extinguishers go with the wagon and emptied contents on to the flames. Which.

By this time steamer No. 3, hose companies No. 15 and No. 6 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 extinguished with a small amount of water.

this was being done another streamle was directed at the fire without orders from Chief Sanders, but this stream was shut off at Mr. Sanders's order before material damage was done. So well the water handled that goods on only one side of the room were wet. How the hose of the wagon became uncoupled mystery as it can be unchemical, coupled only use of tools. The fire started in a dry-goods box filled with paper and rags, and probably was caused by spontaneous combustion as were no electric wires near.

corner, next to theren the box where the 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 accidentally 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 total loss will be about $1400 including a small loss on the building.

The property was insured through the agencies of H. E. Taylor Son and C. F. R.

Jenne. A Bird Club Pilgrimage. By invitation of Rev. Lewis Grout the Bird club went to West Brattleboro last Friday afternoon to a reception given in loving memory of his daughter, Miss Annie L. Grout.

The party were allowed the privilege of the house, lawn and the very attractive and interesting garden. Dainty refreshments were served in the dining room and on the veranda, after which Mr. Grout read from his own book and addressed the club on the subject of South African birds, illustrating by beautiful specimens of the nests of foreign birds which he brought from Natal several years ago when he returned from his long service of missionary work in South African, The pendant nests of the African called the Zulu finch or Weaver bird exemplified great skill in architecture. They were several inches long and made from the fibre of the Mimosa tree. The entrance was at the bottom of the structure and the little nursery hung at one side.

No less skilfully made was the nest of a bird not known by name to Mr. Grout, which was a compact structure of coarse fibrious material and flag stalks, the entrance to this strange nest being at the centre of one side and the aperture about the size of a silver half dollar. Still another, far more fragile than the others, had a small entrance at one side and over the entrance was a perfect little hoodlike covering resembling the roof of a small piazza. Mr. Grout explained their enjoyment of the birds as they appeared many years ago in that foreign land when the hunter's gun was not in evidence.

It was a common thing to out of his own door and there down look the water to see the gazelles and doves by and the smaller birds bathing and sporting and frisking about in happy, fantastic in the glad sunshine. The animals ways well as birds were there more free as fearless, and it was there in that and far-distant land on that old Natalian shore that the dear one who has now yonder was born and early learngone up ed to love birds. Later in life, when great seas lay bethat distant land of her birth and tween the old New England home of her parwhich was once again theirs and ents had become her home also, she cherished and encouraged the old love for the birds, and as the years advanced her love for them grew stronger until during the last few years of her sojourn here her little friends in became her daily and almost hourly companions. day for them and they became so Bountiful repasts were furnished cache at her windows that they almost fed from her hands. She could count them by dozens that came daily during the winter months to obtain the dainty morsels which they never failed to find awaiting them.

Some of the happiest moments of life were spent in bird study and obher servition, and many long and beautiful walKs she has taken with the bird club herself of the accurateness of to assure her observations and to learn with them the habits, haunts and songs of many with whom she was familiar by sight. The hermit thrust is the bird which she loved the best and club will ever keep freshly in mind that memorable night in 1900 when they went with her in the gray twilight to hear his wonderful song. Mr. Grout presented to each member present beautiful stalks of white lilies and branches of the shining leaves of the holly leaved bayberry from Miss Annie's garden, which were planted by her own hands, and many are the hearts which have been gladdened by receiving a genrous share of the gifts. Although she cannot speak, yet the pure and unstained lilies bring only messages of Ave and tell the story of her life work more plainly than words.

In parting the venerable missionary and grand old man bade them all good night and his prawer and final blessing fell upon them like a holy benediction.

Says the Rutland News: "And now it is said that Vergennes' thieving cashier, D. H. Lewis, claims that instead of owing the Farmers' National bank money, the bank owes him a balance.

Well, we are now prepared for anything along this line. The office of honor and profit, next to a United States senatorship, in this country today is that of a bank wrecker." Not so fast. There may be more to the claim of ex-Cashier Lewis than appears on the surface. If The Messenger's information is reliable (and there is no present reason to doubt it), Lewis may be able to explain interesting things in a very interesting way when he goes on the stand. It is hardly safe to try this case in the newspapers.

A crime has been committed, to be sure, but the distribution of responsibility for it and the degrees of responsibility for it are just obscure enough at present to promise some decidedly spicy news when the trial comes off next Albans Messenger. Prince von Hohenlohe, 81, formerly imperial chancellor of Germany, died suddenly Friday night at Ragaz, Switzerland. He entered the diplomatic service at an early age, and had a long parliamentary career. He was governor of Al- Lorraine some previous to years 1894. when he succeeded Count von Caprivi and Count Eulenberg as Chancellor of the German Empire and Prussian Prime Minister, respectively, these offices being then combined for the first time.

As Chancellor Prince von Hohenlohe was popularly regarded as a figurehead, the Emperor himself directing affairs under the prestige of the Prince's name. In October of last year Hohenlohe resigned because of old age and infirmity, and Count von Bulow was appointed to succeed him. 02 you had a throat like a Giraffe and could have a great, big thirst, you could not imagine a more satisfying experience than in drinking Williams' too, it's at its best when all other drinks fail--when your throat is dry and dusty and your mouth is full cotton" -when you are hot and tired -when your stomach is out of order and the thought of food disgusts you -when such things happen you'll appreciate Williams' Root Beer and the wisdom of the old folks in their selection and concoction of roots and herbs.

Lyon had cautioned the lad to be careful in playing about the mill and endeavored to keep a watch over him. The boy disappeared, and not hearing anything from him for sev eral minutes Mr. Lyon went into the third story of the mill, where the grain is elevated, to look for him.

He did not find him, and it occurred tc him that the boy must have gone down with the corn into the chute which feeds the hopper below. He opened up the chute in the second story and the child's body was found wedged into the lower part of the chute, so that a portion of the chute had to be chopped away in order tc get the body. Above was the weight of about 200 bushels of grain which had to be shoveled away tel the floor before it could be taken out A physician was summoned at once but all efforts to restore consciousness were unsucessful.

Edgar Robbing of Spofford, N. met with a horrible death about midnight Sunday. He was driving in a two-wheeled roadcart on Torrey hill, about a mile from his home, when he was run into by the carriage of Herbert Whittemore of West Swanzey.

At the same time the horse started on the run for home, dragging Mr. Robbins all the way. He was lifeless and mangled almost beyond recogniwhen the horse arrived.

m. Tuesday. Mr. Robbins leaves a wife and two children. OBITUARY.

Death of Mrs. John D. Roess. Sudden Catherine Rolle Roess, wife of Mrs. John D.

Roess, died at her on Brook street late Sunday afternoon. She had been ill three end came suddenly and unexpectedly to the family. Death was produced cerebral hemorrhage, which ocfrom casioned total unconsciousness during last 12 hours which she lived. She was the daughter of Fritz Rolle and was born in Hesse Cassel, Ger63 years ago. Nearly three many, since she came from Staten years Island as Mrs.

Ascherman and was married to Mr. Roess. She leaves beside her husband three daughters, Mrs. Bertha Sacho of Denver, Mrs. Mary Wickham of Brooklyn, and Miss Kate Ascherman of Staten Island; two sons, Rudolph and ick Ascherman of Staten Island, four grandchildren, Sydney Wickham, Edell, Gertrude and Charlie Sacho; one sister, Mrs.

Mary Becker of New York; one brother, Frederick Rolle of Staten Island. Her daughter, Mrs. Wickham, has cared for her during much 'of her illness and lovingly administered to her comforts, but was so overwhelmed at the shock of her mother's death that she was prostrated for several days and much anxiety was concerning the outcome of her condition. The funeral was held at the house last Tuesday Rev. R.

K. Marvin officiating." The body was taken to the Lutheran cemetery at Williamsburg, N. for burial. Miss and Frederick Ascherman came on to the funeral and returned with the body of their mother on Wednesday. Mrs.

Bushman, the life long, intimate friend of Mrs. Roess, also came up from Westfield. A profusion of beautiful flowers covered the casket and nearby tables, which bespoke more plainly than words the high esteem in which the departed one was held. Although Mrs. Roess had lived in Brattleboro less than three years.

by her originality and her true and strong individuality she 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 feeble health and sadly in need of the loving care and sympathy that only a noble and true wife can give. Her departure adds another to the long list of afflictions which have befallen Mr. Roess.

and no less than eight caskets have been carried from his door in recent years, but he is consoled by the beautiful thought that all his dear ones have gone over the river only a few days in advance of himself.
