WATERBURY, Dec. 20,—The feed
and grain elevator-of the Plait Mills
Company. located on Benedict street
was practically destroyed lust night
by a. fire which started in the top of
the structure from some cause not
yet determined. The loss to the
building and stock. it is estimated,
will amount to about 856.000, with in-
surance of about $30,000.
The entire city department was call;
ed out to cope with the blaze, which
was located in the heart of the whole-
WWv-lorlfl
The flrernen worked desperately to
prevent the spread of the fire. and
their efforts. aided by the fact that
there was practically no wind were
successful in confining the flames in
the building In which they started.
it was an hour's fight to bring the
fire under control and it was. three
hours from the time the alarm was
turned in before it was deemed safe
to send part of the fire fighting force
from the scene.
The stock In the elevator consisted
largely of hen food and grain and
this said O. 0. Camp, of the Company
today. could not. be replaced for less
than $20,000 or $30,000. while the
building suffered damage of about
340.000.
Mr. Camp‘s son George stated that
when he left the building last night,
shortly before the, fire broke out. that
everything was all right so far as he
know.
The elevator building was tho only
one of the Plait Mills Company plunt
burned.

of Complaint
......._.._..-....
ALBANY, N. Y., Dec. 20.—-Attornoy-
General Julius Meyer. in the name of
the people of the state of New York
today began an action against the Am-
erican lee Company in the Supreme
Court of New York county. for the
dissolution of the so-callod "Ice Trust."
A summons and complaint issued here
last; night was forwarded to the New
York city representatives of the attor-
ney-general for service today upon the
proper officials of the company. s The
complaint alleges as a principal feu~
lure of the “scheme and arrangement,"
by which the company secured prac-
tically a monopoly of the natural and
artificial ice output and. distribution.
especially in Greater New York and
the communities in that vlc.lnily that
it secured coniroi of the Maine Icc
fields and caused a reduction there
last year of the usual harvest from
a million and a half tons to one-third
of that amount. The other sources
of supply are alleged to be similarly
controlled.
The key to the ice situation in New
York city ls pointed out as lying in
the company's control of the “Ice
bridges" or landing depots, by which

ROCKVILLE,Dec. 20.—~Charles H.
Bishop, the young farmband who has
been on'triai In the Superior Court
here for several days on the charge
of murdering the wife of his employer.
Mrs. Caroline Williams in Stafford
Springs on November 8. caused a
sudden ending of the court proceed.
ings today when he changed his plea
of not. guilty to guilty of murder in
the second degree. The sudden ter-
mination of the trial was the result
of a long conference today between
State Attorney Charles Phelps and
counsel for the prisoner, Attorneys
Thomas F. Noone and M. D. O'Connell.
Instead of going on with theI testimony
the lawyers were closeted in the
judge's room and when they came out
Bishop was called to the bar and plead-
ed guilty in second. degree ‘llllll‘del'.
The jury was thereupon discharged
and Judge Silas R. Robinson announc-
ed that he would pass sentence this
afternoon.
The case. which practically ended in
day. has been one of considerable
interest in the community owing to
the youthfbulness of the prisoner and
the brutal character of the murder. It
was the general impression that Bis-
hop was somewhat unsound mentally
and considerable testimony during the
trial, which opened last Friday. was
regarding this point
Bishop’s motive for killing Mrs.
William's was robbery He felled
her by II. blow on the head with a
heavy instrument and almost severed
her-head from the body by means of
a butcher‘s knife. Not. satisfied with
this he stabbed Mrs. Williams thirteen
times on the head and breast. and
then proceeded to collect the savings
‘of the aged woman. which were in a
trunk in her bedroom. He took all
the money he could find, a sum amount-
ing to about $100, and hid it on tho
William's farm and as u ruse scattered
several coins in front of the house.
Bishop then hunted up Mr. Williams
and told him that his wife had been
murdered and a few hours later he
was arrested ns'a suspect.
He. is said to have confessed to ihe
murder on the day afterward then do
tried it. saying that Mrs. Williams was-
kllled by trauma.
