Discover a Bless in Another
Part of the Paetorv.
Early last night. for the second time
in a little more than two years. the
box manufactory of Charles S. Trow-
bridge & Son. at 129 Washington
street. rear, was badly damaged by
fire. There is no question that the
flames were of incendiary origin, 'as
they burst out almost simultaneously
from the extreme ends of the building.
and previous experiences during the
afternoon give every reason to the pro-
prietors for believing that the deed
was deliberately planned and well car-
ried out by some one familiar with the
factory.
The first series of fires Was discov-
ered between 3 and 4 o'clock by em-
ployees of the firm. in the stock room
on the third floor, in what is known as
the spring room, also upstairs. A
quantity of burning waste was found
at this time among a pile of boxes for
The Both a Goldschmiot Company,
which had only been finished a couple
of days ago. As the flames had not
gained much headway. the men quick-
ly extinguished them without an alarm.
The members of the firm, however.
suspected that another attempt would
be made to destroy the building. After
a consultation it was cecided to have
four of their employees, besides the
night watchman, Gilbert Bloom, re-
main in the factory during the night.
All were cautioned snout exercising
the utmost vigilance. At the time the
fire broke out the watchman and two
other men were in ...e building. beside
several girls who had been working at
the factory of late until 7 and 7: 30
o 'cloclr to catch up with orders.
At about li:30 o'clock. Charles Trow-
ridge. son of George S. Trowbridge.
told Mr. Bloom to take a lantern and
go down cellar. make a thorough in.
spection of everything there to see that
' all was right. while he would go up-
stairs. Just as they started Edward
Fable, one of the men on watch. gave
an alarm from the third floor in the
east end of the building. That section
was filled with smoke, and flames could
be seen slowly eating their way toward
the main building. up alarm was
turned in from Box 16, on the Norwaik 960
Iron Works building. and there was 'I
prompt response by Driver McGowan,
of the supply wagon. and the firemen;
but some time was lost in going in this
round about way. The fire in the east
end of the building was under good
headway when the departmen reached
the scene. Then heavy blfif smoke
was issuing from the brie building
on the extreme south, erected since the
previous fire and used as a wood box
manufactory.
Many employees of the firm were
about the scene early, and assisted by
the firemen. carried a large quantity
of manufactured pasteboard boxes from
the building and stored them in the
barn, while the shipping clerks from
some of the hat factories were around
etting their boxes together. and had
hem delivered last night. The Crofut
& Knapp Company had three teams
carrying their boxes.
One of the most energetic workers at
the fire was John Sheldon. a former
employee of the firm, who boldly on-
tered the burning portion of the build-
ing and began passing out the boxes.
Twice he was overcome by smoke and
had to be assisted out.
it was but a short time after the tire-
men got to work that the flames were
under control. and in an hour they
were entirely out. The water poured
into the factory from several lines of
hose did considerable damage to stock.
Fortunately the valuable machinery
located in the center of the main
building was not harmed.
From statements made last night it
is thought the members of the firm
have their suspicions as to who start-
ed the fires. and it is possible some
interesting developments may be made
within the next. few days.
The insurance on building and stock
and machinery amounts to 324.750 and
is held entirely by Jacob M. LaytOh's
agency.
This morning the employees went to
work as usual. and it Is expected that
the busineu of the firm win be but lit-
'ti‘e inconvenienced by reason of the
fire. New stock has been ordered and
is expected to arrive in a few days.
A LAMP EXPLODED.
A lamp exploded in the apartments
of Harry Liebold. 190 Alain street. Nor-
wnlk. last night. and threatened to do
considerable damage. it was picked
up by Mr. Liebold's twelve-year—old
daughter. Elly Liebold, and thrown out
of a window.
