' ‘The Cause. No one seems able. to give a plausi- hlo‘Etheory as to the cause of the fire. The only fire in the building was un- " aria small boiler in the fire room, which was carefully isolated from the other parts of the factory by heavy rick, walls. This fire was banked When the factory closed 101' the day ‘In‘dW w s seen this morning to be still ibanite . it is not believed that. it oouid'have resulted in any way from thisi‘furnace. as It is stated that the fire 'first broke out in the wooden atruliture not far from the oflicc. When first seen the brick portion was still bittduohed by the fire. How the fire originated will probably never be known. The opinion is held in some quarters hat“ was of incendiary origin, but there appears .to be nothing to support the theory. Someone circulated the story last night that it came from the alcohol ex. tractOr. ' This could not have been so. however, as the apparatus was in a dif- férent part or the building and explod- ed ‘lio'm time after the fire started. warped the iron doors of the extrac. tor attire time and about half a barrel of alcohol; ‘ It is believed that the heat so Warped the iron dors of the extracv tor that'when the alcohol did catch fire there was little explosion. Perseus who live nearby claim to have heard 3 ,distinct explosions dur. .ing ' the fire, but what caused them 1 could not'b’e. learned. Lucien R. Bou- ‘ton was, unable to give any theory as «to the "cause of the fire and the firemen are. as much in the dark as anyone. Machinery Lost. - One of the principal losses by the fire was the valuable machinery in the factory. , A" line seventy-eight horse power Corliss engine of a late model ‘was destroyed totally. The loss of machinery alone will probably be about 325,00. This was owned by the Walt- - nausea Company. - .- " ' 1 Quick Work. Thc'flremen were the subjects of any congratulations on the way in Turkish they reached the fire. It was one of the quickest pieces of work otter done in the city. When the Old " ‘llfiHook and Ladder Company's truck left the house it gained consid‘ stable momentum, and in going to South-Mills street it was with consid- ‘blo’ difficulty that the turn was blade.

When asked that plans had been ads by the company toward the 're- uilding‘ of the factory, Mr. Wolthau- ‘aan’d Mr. Bouton‘ both stated that it fit, titer premature to discuss it, as ‘ I made no definite plans.

Providence seemed to be with the firemen and property owners In this respect. as the smoke anti hunt and sparks were all blown across the big vacant lot at the south west of the Wolthauscn factory. The Lockwood Company was un- doubtedly saved by the wind. The G. N. McKlbbiu Company's new plant might have caught had the fire been blown in that direction. This concern is well isolated, however. and was at no time in danger. Had the wind been from the south or southeast the Volk Hat Company woultl probably have caught, and many homes would have been burned nearby. MANY SAW BRIGHT GLARE. Light From South Norwalk Fire Plain- Iy Villblc Here. The light from the burning Wal- tbausen lint factory In South Norwalk last night was seen in this city. It was at. first supposed that the fire was in Fulrileld. and the telephone in The Telegram editorial room was ringing every few minutes with inquiries as to the location of the tire. 'l‘wentv min- utes after the citv was aroused by the bright glare it was currently report- ed that Beacltsidc inn. Greens Farms. was on fire. This act the telephone wires at lt‘alrficld anti Southport a- ringing, but with no satisfactory re- sults. it appeared as if all the inhab« ltunls oi the quiet suburban town had gone to bed and were too tired to an- swer the hell. It. was finally ascertained that the inn was till in good shape and that the inhabitants in that neighborhood. did not even know of a fire. and had not seen the reflection in the sky that had aroused the curiosity of half of Bridgeport. The reflection of the fire was seen plainly in Milford, 18 miles away. Milford also heard that Beechside inn had gone up in smoke.— Bridgeport TelegramUnion. W TEMPLARS OF HONOR MEET.

ATLANTA, (1a., June l.~—'l‘he Demo- crats of Georgia mot today in state convention, to name delegates to the national convention, anti to.conflrm the nominations of State officers made at the primaries in April. Prior to the assembling of the convention the situa- tion was chaotic. The contest before the committee is whether or not the delegation to St. Louis shall go in- structed for Parker or shall be bound by the unit rule and by a preferential resolution from the convention to sup. port Parker at St. Louis, so long as he shall seem to be the strongest candi- date before the nathnal convention. The Hearst element. it is said, is not strong enough to have a deciding vote in the convention. ‘ NEBRASKA DEMOCRAT-8 MEET. OMAHA.
