In the Holmes block fire Monday night loss on the building is estimated to be about $5,000, approximately .30 per cent. of the Iinsurance. It is thought the tenants were damaged about the same amount. There seems to be a strong feeling that the fire was incendiary, and it is believed the insurance adjusters will make a Searching investigation on that theory. The fact that Robert Bath and others played 4 strong stream on the roof of the :Holmes building from the carpet department of the Boston store is be- lieved to have saved the Murray build- ing from serious damage if not de- struction.

STAFFORD SPRINGS Application for Temperary Receiver for Rhode lsland Worsted Company Due to Dissatisfaction of Three Stockholders—Death of Orson -T. Jewett. As told in The Bulletin’s despatches Tuesday, application has been made for a temporary receiver for the Rhode Island Woersted company. The mill has been very busy for the past two years, but Benjamin P. Shoenfield and his two sons, Leonard and Jerome, stockholders in the concen}, are not satisfled with conditions. It is said that no dividends have been paid. and- ‘| the Shoenflelds allege that the compa- ny is insolvent. The application for a recelver was signed by the - Shoenfields and was brought in the United States court in Providence. The company was_organized under the laws of Rhode Island and for a time did business in Indlan Orchard, Mass, Seven years ago it bought the old TFoxville property in Stafford Springs. This was entirely remodeled and a number of new buildings erect- ed. The plant is equipped with mogern machinery and is said to be one of the ost up-to-date in equipment in New Tngland. After locating in Stafford Springs the company increased its capital stock from $40,000 to $150,000, a majority of which is held by H. W. T. Mali of New York. The mill is closed this week, but it is stated that the shutdown will be only temporary. The plant employs over 300 hands and manufactures wor- sted suitings and dress goods. Death of Orson T.
