Yesterday at a quarter -to 6 o’clock a number of workmen going to work discovered flames coming through the roof of the barn on the Enos Osborn place, 202 East avenue, and awakened. the family with their shouts of fire. By the time the men folk reached the scene the entire building was en- veloped in flames, but by hard work a. horse and two cows were "rescued, one of the latter being quite badly singed. The horse and one cow, however, es- caped withOut serious burning. An alarm from district 4 at 5:50 o’clock brought the East Norwalk fire department to the scene, but the flames had gained such headway that nothing i could be done to extinguish the fire and the building was burned to the. ground. In the barn were three wagons and of farming imple- with a large a large number ments. These together quantity of hay, straw, grain and feed were totally destroyed. The origin of the fire is supposed to have been incendiary, as no one was up in the house and no fire of any descrip- tion was in the barn. The barn was insured with the in- surance agency of Cowles 6; Merrill, while the Taylor & Golden agency had an insurance of $1,200 on the contents, which outside of the horse and two cbws will prove a complete loss. am,___.__ Catholic Club Banquet.

' The place entered was the office of Irving Lockwood & Co. coal dealers,on Water street. The intruders entered by the front door, the part of the frame of which containingrthe lock being sawed off and thus giving easy access to the place. The burglars were professionals and evidently possessed the requisite tools to accomplish their work in an expedi- tious manner. , The safe, which stood in the office was blown into atoms by dynamite and . all the windows were blown out. Two holes had been drilled in the top of the safe and a double fuse used, an end being placed in each hole and both in contact with black powder which was employed to accomplish the work. The door ofthe safe went out four feet breaking through the floor and. damaging the entrance to theprivate of- fice. The men then took the door and moved it from where it lay to the back of the office. They took from the safe an inside box containing about $10 in silver, which they carried with them. Evt- dently the men went down towards the track which they struck near the Tram- way Power House. Here they extract- ed the money the box contained and threw the box on a pile of ties, rwhere it was found this morning by James A. Smith of Ely avenue, who returned it to the owner, containing some bills and O ne cent. V A chisel was the only tool left in the office and this was found upon the floor near the safe. The safe is agtotal wreck but the books which were invrit are. in- tact. It' is thought that the deed was com- mitted about 2:25 o’clock this morning as the force of the concussion stopped the clock on the office wall at that time. The report of the explosion awakened several men living nearby, one of whom got up courage enough to open the win- dow and poke his head out. He saw the intruders and timidly en- quired of them what they were doing. He was told to take his head in if he didn’t want it blown olf, which request he promptly complied with, and so scared was he that he remained quiet until morning when he told what he knew of the matter. He could not identify them, nor did he recognize their voices. ‘ It is thought that the men were semi— professionals traveling from town to town and plying their trade as they go. In the. morning Mr. Lockwood said that nothing but the box was touched, a. razor lay'ncar by and a $2.50 gold piece was found or. the floor. The safe was worth about $100 and is a. complete loss. One of the men who saw the burglars said there were three of them. «no»; Cars Damage Mill- The mill of Lounsbury,Bissell & Co., at Winnipauk, shut down Tuesday afternoon to repair damage caused by a coal car which ran into one corner of the mill taking out a portion of the brick work, damaging the drying room and knocking down a quantity of shafting. It will take two days to re- pair the damage. The accident was caused by the crew of the local freight attempting to throw two cars of coal ‘ on the mill switch.

Jesse’s saloon on Washington street bridge Chief \Villiam Vollmcr went there on a run and arrested the fellow about 11 o’clock, with the assistance of Captain Gladstone and Constable Good- win. He was taken'to the police station and searched and on him was found the following: Four mileage books dated South W’il- ton January 18, and numbered 46, 826 containing 825 miles; 46,827, 857 miles; 46,828, 416 miles; 46,839. 847.. miles done up in a tissue paper, a large bunch.

It is similar to those erected for de- ceased soldiers of the war of the re- bellion, with the exception that the top of the stone is flat with rounded cor- ners. That for the war of the rebellion is more circular on the top. The dimen~ sions of the stone, which is of white marble, are 5 feet 6 inches by 1 foot 4 inches and four inches thick. I The headstone, beside the name, age. date of death and organization, is to bear the designation, “Spanish-American War.” There is no distinction of this character on the stones erected for new pattern stone will cost $16. against $15 for the old pattern, the increased cost being on account of the additional inscription. The price includes set-- ting in the ground two feet where the soldier is buried. ———-——————<o-o>—— Beware of Ointments for Catarrh ThatCOntain Mercurv as mercury will suiely destroy the sense of smell and completely derangc the whole system when ente1 ing itthrough the mucous surfaces.
