8 THE VERMONT PHCENIX, BRATTLEBORO, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 8, 1905. BELLOWS FALLS NEWS Brewery at. Cold River Destroyed by Fire Yesterday Attachment Placed Upon the Property Wednesday Was Insured Through a Boston Agency. Tho extensive brewery located two miles from hero on tho Cold river In New Hampshiro was entirely destroyed by Are yesterday morning'. It had been operated since Jan. 1 by tho Manilla Brewing Co., of which Sellg Manilla has becri tho pres- laent nna manager. He camo hero from Dobbs Ferry, N. Y., having formerly con ducted a brewing business in Springfield, Mass. Tho history of this brewery enterprlso has been a varied one. It was erected 30 years ago by Walker, Dewey, Blake & jo., ana run oy tnem tor many years. During the last 15 years the ownership nas been rrcquentiy changed, it being gen erally understood as unsuccessful from a business standpoint. May B, 1882, tho buildings were destroyed with a loss es timated at tho tlmo of $30,000 nnd soon rebuilt. During the Inst five years tho property has been placed upon tho market at forced salo three times and bid off at a nominal sum because of large lncUmber ances. It Is understood that Mr. Manilla's purchase price was $50,000, and that a mortgage for the larger part of that amount still rests with tho receivers of tho Union Trust Co., of Boston, Congress man W. E. Barrett having Invested hero somo years ago. The only local person known to be Interested Is George Sher man of Walpole, who was clerk of tho cor poration. Wednesday, tho day preceding tho fire, an attachment was put upon the property by Brady & Jenks of Claremont, N. H., tho bottlers who had handled tho output of the company. A clerk of tho bottling house and the brew-master wero placed In charge as keepers of the prop erty, the arrangement being that the clerk was to be on duty days nnd tho brew-master nights. Tho fire was discovered about 2.30 a. m., on the third floor In the southwest corner of the building, by a woman living across the road. Tho fire department from Bellows Falls was called later, tho steamer being sent down about 6 o'clock. The building was then entirely consumed but tho engine was used In saving tho bottling works nnd surrounding prop erty. Only the bare walls remain of the substantial brick structure. The amount of the Insurance Is not known, local agents having refused to insure the property for some years. It was understood tho Insurance was placed through the agency of John C. Paige & Co., of Boston. It Is not probable the property will ever be rebuilt. Mr. and Mrs. H. J. Huntoon left this morning for a visit with their daughter, Mrs. Herman Hoar, of Torrlngton, Conn. Miss Maria F. Wood of Newton Centre, Mass., who has been spending the past week with the family of L. S. Hayes, re turned to her home today. Mrs. Jessie Booth, who spent tho sum mer with her mother, Mrs. George Under wood, returned to her position in tho Union school In Montpeller Monday ac companied by her daughter, Mildred. Wallace White of Lawrence, Masst, a former well-known resident, was In town briefly upon business matters Tuesday. His family closed their cottage at Sun apeo lako that morning for tho season. Carl Northrup. who has been a re porter upon tho Bellows Falls Times, re tired from that position last week. He will enter tho University of Vermont this month. He Is succeeded In the Times office by Hugh Kimball, a son of Fred H. Kimball. Mrs. M. J. Hollenbeck and her grand son, Andrew Hecrmance, who havo been spending tho summer on a farm near Poughkeepsle, N. Y will return to Bel lows Falls next week. They will havo rooms this year with Miss Emma E. Webb on Atkinson street L. J. Royce has begun work upon tho foundation of his new dwelling to bo lo cated on Russell park, nearly opposite the end of ' the iron bridge across the Con necticut. The whole locality known as Russell park has been opened up for sale and prices put upon tho various lots, varying from $1200 to $1750 each. The health of C.vrt. W. H. Taylor which has been precarious the last year or two. Is more critical at the present time, he having been confined to his chair for the past few days. His trouble Is an affection of tho heart, and many warm personal friends are anxiously watching the outcome. The sen-Ice of rededicatlon of the Con gregational church edifice, which has been extensively repaired during the past summer, will occur next Sunday morning. W. H. Grlswold and Dr. E. W. Knight left yesterday for a trip through North Dakota. They will be absent about two or three weeks. Mr. Grlswold goes to over see the harvest of .the wheat crop upon the extensive farm owned by local par ties. -Bcsplte tho unsettled conditions of tho weumer iauor aay was ceieoratea at Bellows Falls as thoroughly as in any preceding year. Tho parade In tho morn ing, although in a pouring rain, was car ried out as advertised and tho better weather of the afternoon drew largo Crowds to BflrhAr nnrlr. nrnhnhlw n ttti.aVi larger number than Labor day of any jjreceaing year, une games ana sports were of an exceedingly Interesting and exciting nature and the weather of the afternoon belnt? nil Vmt rn.iM hn i.tnj for, the crowd returned at night greatly picuacu wiiu mo results oi mo aay. The contract for printing the history of the town of Rockingham has been award ed by the town committee to Frank L. Whitten of Lynn, Mass. Mr. Whltten has been the city printer of Lynn some years and does an extensive business. Ho learned his trade in tho Times office under the direction of A. N. Swain, and having spent a number of years here, Is well known to tho older Inhabitants. The committee have decided to limit the Blre of the book to 800 pages, with about 100 pages additional of illustrations. Much of tho copy is! now ready and tho print ing will bo begun within a few weeks. The extremely unwlso and unfortunate action of tho voters of the town recently In relation to the acceptance of the $15, 000 from Andrew Canegle for n! library Is emphasized strongly by tho fact that it Is now found that a well-known citizen some months previous had made his will bequeathing $5000 for the use of the li brary. When the action of the town in Bummarily disposing of tho proposition of Mr. Carneglo was made known, ho changed his will, cutting off the bequest. Had the town acceded tho request of President A. N. Swain of tho board of li Letter to Henry R. Brown, Brattleboro, Vt. Dear Sir: Why, do you think, can De voe sell pure paint as low as others Bell adulterated paint? There are 30 or 40 or 50 different makers of paint, that rank, in a way, as "first-class;" they have their regions; one's region Is large, another's is small; everyone Is "first-class" in Its region. Of these 30 or 40 or 50, one is best, an other next, and so on down; but tho prices are all the same or about tho same you can buy one for less than another though; a personal matter sometimes. But how, do you think, can Dovoo sell the best for no more than the rest? Tho answer is; It coats less to sell It; more to make, less to selL Reputation helps selt It Its 150 years help to sell It Go by tho name. Yours truly, F, W. DEVOE & CO. P. 8. Bobbins & Cowles sell our paint brary trustoos and others who urged tho action, and appointed a commlttco to see what could bo dono towards raising tho money for a library site, without doubt sumclent funds could havo boon raised within a short tlmo for tho pur pose.
