Mill extensions planned for Killigly during 1920 will provide employment for at least an addition 1,000 opera- tives, and this means an increase of from' 2,000 to 3,000 in the town’s pop- wlation. Verily, Killingly is hitting its stride. The plant of the Central Cotton Yarn company at Central Village was burned to the ground Friday mornink in a spectacular fire that broke out shortly after nine o’clock. All efforts to save the structure with the limited amount of fire apparatus on hand proved unavailing, though the fight made by the firemen saved the surrounding dwellings from de- struction. 2 The loss, estimated at not legs than $25,000, is total, as there was no in- surance on the mill, the machinery or the stock. © A spark that flashed in one of the pickers and which probably was caus- ed by Piece of metal running through the machine is believed to have caused the fire, which spread through the old wooden structure with gréat rapidity and soon enveloped what what was known|as the old part of the mill in flames. : The mill was operafed by George S. Collins and John E./Collins and was known formerly as the Cutler mills, located in the Kennedy City section of Central Village. ‘Tiw mill and part of the machinery was owned by Ed- win_Cutler nad Mrs. Mabel Thurber of Providence, the property being in the care of K. J. Cutler of Central Village. When it.was realized that the fire was to be of werious nature a mes- sage was telepuoned to Danielson for aid and the Captain Putnam Ingine company was cailed out, makihg the run to the fire in thirtcen minutes. The efforts of the Danielson fire- men were handicapped by réason of anchor ice working into the suection pipe, the end of which had been run into the river”that skirts the edge of the mill, the ice being sucked up into the pipe and biocking the screens. The big pumper, which was working me- fcally perfect, should have been ring from 700 to 1,000 gallons a but it ne nearly reached that capacity on account of the ice choking ‘up the suction pipe screens. At times the streams dwindled away almost to nothing and then the fire- men, who would be making good headway in checking the fire would see their efforts go almost for naught. As the streams failed the fire would rage up again and tarealen to envelop a two tenement dwelling that stands in the mill yard. The fine service rendered by a bucket did a great deal bouse at the times when the from the pumper failed on of the ice clogging in the pipes. The heat from the fire was terriffic and there were times when the fire- men had to face a seething mass of flames and make the best of it in their effort to keep the streams where they were most needed. At one time when the fire was at its height the mill structure was a roaring furnace and ten good streams of watér would not streams account suction have been too much to have fought it successfuily. : Some of the waste, of which a ‘year's supply had just been_ stocked, was - saved from the _ burn- i building, but the greater part of this raw material and a valuable qudntity of finished product were lost in the flame: The company manufactured wicking for latps and_other such products and was a suc@ssful industry giving employment to a small, number of hands. The mill at the front was a three story wooden structure, while the rear of the building, this being a newer part, was two stor; During the course of the fire John E. Colllns had his hand injured;, but the hurt was not a serious one. George 8. Collins, the senior- member of the firm operating the plant, is confined to his home recovering from an injury. The Danielson firemen were served a lunch and Mot coffee after their work at the fire had been completed. It is expected that the nearly $300 raiséd by contributions from the pub- |lic ‘will be about sufficient to put the clock in the steeple of the Westfield Congregational church in striking or- der again. The clock has not been striking since the heavy weights let go from the mechanism last fall and crashed down to the street level of the church.

Houghton died Friday mornin; fust after eight o'clock at the home o his son, Dr. Harry -A. Houghtor, on Grove street. - Mr. Houghton had been l:. resident of Putnam for half a cen- ury. - a 3 Mr. Houghton came from an old family of manufacturers in this sec- tion. .In h¥s early life he followed that business which he learned under the . supervision of hisgfather, who died in Putnam in 1899. Some time ago Mr. Houghton's heart became , affected ' and he has been confined to the home séveral ; moths past, so that the end was not unexpected. Alexander Augustus Houghton was born - Beptember 2, 1850, at West Glocester, R. I, son of Augustus and Elizabeth < (Hawkine) Houghton. Mr. “Houghton was but six months old when his parehts moved to Worces- ter. When he was 16 his parents moved to Putnam, where he attended school and later completed a commer- cial course at Wilbraham Academy. ., At the age of 19 he entered the yarn miil of his father at Bast Putnam, to learn every detail of the husiness, He became .superinténdent: of the plant, a position he held for three vears. ., Later Mr. Houghton topk a saw mill in West Glocester and erected a three-story stone mill on the site and under the firm namé of Hawkins & Houghton did ah extensive business in the manufacture of colton yarns. He continued in this business for 14 years, and at the'end of that time leased his_interests to James Stock- ard. The mill was destroyed by fire in January, 1902. Since that time Mr. Houghton has been engaged in ma ters concerning the large estate of his father and his own business interests. In politice Mr. Houghton was a strong republican and served on the republican town committep for years. For three years‘he was h selectma and in 1902 was elected representa- tive to the state legislature. July 1, 1888. he was elected a director of the First National bank, and was re-elect- ed at Tuesday's meeting, :a continu- ous serv of ahout 32 years. Mr. . Houghton was & member of the East Putnam Bastist church. He belonged to. Quinebaug lodge of Ma- sons and Putnam chapten He was a member of Israel Putnam lodge of Odad Fellows, the A. 0.

Of this linion three sons were harn: James Elbert, born Sept. 20, 1871: Winfred Augustus, born/ Jan. 5, 1875, Harry Alexander, born July 27 1834, Besides his wife and thfee sons Mr. Houghfon leaves a sister, Mrs. De- Witt C.

The southerly #nd of the Chickering hotel may be rebbilt, to provide quarters for the Putnam News com- pany and Charles Miron, barhor, whose places of hiisiness were in that end of the building, which was prac- tically qestroyed in Thursday morn- ing’s fire, Many incidents were being related Friday of the narrow escapes that the suests of the hotel had in getting from the building. Regular boarders at the hotel got away in a number of cages with not much more than their union suits and such outer garments as-they could slip intd in record time. That none lost their lives is now re- garded as very remarkable. Street department men were busy during Friday chopping a way throush the jce that eovers the entire length of Union street to the denth of sev- eral inches, so that the thorouchfare Is blockedto traffic, much to the in convenience of firms doing business there. Immense auantities of water that flowed back from the fire and ineo the street congealed almost instantly dur- ing the fire and all of Thursday while streams were heing played on the hotel and has made a frozen river of Union street. The entire southerly end of the ho- tel is sheathed in ice and a ladder of ! the charred walls is frozen in and hid- den under an ice covering that makes the rounds as big as a man’s arm. William G. Mason of Thempson hi been ordered to appear in a justics court in the town of Thomnson t (Saturday) mornitif to answer to a charge of violating the motor vehicle laws.

In the opinion of all. motorists who use the highways between this city and Providence and this city and Dan- ielson and other points to the south something must he done to regulate the operation of the big motor trucks that are now running-in” such num- bers through his section. A majority of the drivers of these monster vehi- cles simply ignerc the rights of all other traffic and many of them oper- ate the trucks at-higher rates of speed than is allowed under Connecticut laws. The manner of operation is such as to a menace to other traffic, sspecially now that the roads are slip- pery and the hig-trucks are given to sliding about.. Many of the drivers of these trucks pay no attention whatever to signals from cars that wish to pass them, and assume an attitude that is highly irritafing and unfair to other users of the highways.
