Out of the blackened ruins of the ancient buildiug, owned by Edwin H. Hills, which was destroyved by a fire of mysterious origin yesterday moru- ing, is expected to rise during the coming summer a modern Brick struc- ture equipped with the latest ma- chinery, and devices that will make possible’ the extension of the firm’s manufacturing business and wi probably enable thé ‘management to materially increase its output. The completeness of the havoc wrought by the fire, however, will probably fcrce a suspension of business, except perhaps on a very small scale until late in the summer, the existing conditiéns making it impossible to get machinery without a considerable dolay. Mr. Hills. and his aides today be- gan making arrangements for the ‘erection of a new building to replace the one which is today but a mass of charred embers. Insurance adjust- ers have visited the scene of the fire and are operating with the owner in ar effort tb ascertan definitely the financial loss which will be suffered because of the blaze. The inspectors agree that the main building and fits contents are a complete loss and there is nothing in the ruins that can be salvaged, even the machinery having been reduced to a twisted mass of junk by the intense heat. That the damage Will be between $30,000 and $40,000 is, generally ex- pected, as. the buildimg was well stocked with raw materials and fin ished goods. While the property was well insured, the large amount of gcods on hand ready for shipment and destroyed in the flames will make the damage mount up so high that.the owner will not be completely reim- bursed through his policies. ‘There is considerable sympathy in town for the men who were thrown out of employment by the fire. Many of the Hills employes have worked in the Tactory for years and on account. o their advanced age and the fact tha{ they have specialized in the mandfac- ture of goods not made by other con- cerns in this locality, will probably make it difficult for them to secure new places. Some of the men have been members of sthe force for over half a centur: They were broken- hearted yesterday morning when they arrived at the place to begin their day’s work and found the building in vhich they had labored for so many ars reduced to ashes. Mystery surrounding the origin of the fire has not yet been cleared up and it is doubtful if it will ever be explained. The conditions noted by the men who discovered the blaze give strength to the theory that the ruin was wrought through the activiles of an incendiary who applied the torch in_the blacksmith shop. There is of course the possibility that tramps meeking shelter in the factory had dropped a match or a cigarette stub in the fire wood stored in the room, Lut the authorities are not inclined to seriously consider this theory. The fact that the irm made no war munjtions makes it seem highly im- probable that the building was burned by sympathizers of Germany, unless the men responsible hoped to terror- ize the people and frighten them into sabmitting to the kaiser’'s domination. Mr. Hills was a member of the re- cruiting committee appointed to or- nize the Plainville unit of . the NOT A PARTICLE OF DANDRUFF OR A FALLING HAIR Save your hair!

All sorts.of theories have been advanced, but the authori- ties admit they are without a single tangible clue and they have little hope ng the mystery. oz;::“tlflls factory was started over seventy years sgo by Hiram Hills, grandfather of the present owner, The business originally began with the making of hames, the founder of which made a fortune selling equip- ment for’army mules during the Civil war. The advent of the auto stopped the demand for hames and members of the Hills family bégan manufactur- ing of hardware specialties. Garden { tools and other small implements were made in the plan, practically the en- tire output being taken by the F. W. Woolworth five and ten cent stores. The 'concern has huge orders on its books which will probably have to be cancelled because of the destruction of the plant. Mr. Hills has shown himself to be a manufacturer of considerable ability and he has been making a big profit since the business was turned over to him. His loss through suspension of operations for the several months, which will be required’ to build and equip the new factory will be heavy. Praise’ has been heara on all sides concerning the work of the firemen while the blage was in progress. The fire at thd main plant of the Hills fac- tory had secured too big a start to make it possible for Chief Norton's men to conquer it but their success in keeping the flames from spreading to other property in the vicinity is con- sidered remarkable.
