Mr. Cockerline, one of the proprietors, left the building • at 12 noon, when everything was appar- ently safe. When he returned 12.45 he discovered the place full of smoke. He immediately phoned to the engin- eer of the fire company arid shortly afterwards the. fire bell rang. It was only a short time before water was playing on the flames, but they had such a start that nothing could save the building and all the firemen could hope to do was to save the stock, which they managed to a certain extent. The loss will be about $ro,000, with insurance of only $2,000. It is a se- vere loss to the town as the mills kept quite a number of hands employ- ed and as yet the firm has not de- cided whether or not to rebuild.
