One of the fiercest fires the
South Norwalk department has had to
cpntsud with in a long time, occurred on
the maulidated railroad, just west of
the station, at 3 o‘clock this morning,
and the firemen did excellent service in
fighting the flames.
Extra freight No. 1, east bound, arriv-
ed here .at 2:40, and six cars were cut
loan from the train near the Springwood
bridge, to be switched into the freight
yard. Soon after they had started on
more cars broke from the rear section of
the train, and having no one on them to
operate the brakes, they came rapidly
down the grade and crashed into the
forward section, which was standing on
the siding just above J. J. Aschls fur
factory. A flat car, containing a United
States mail wagon, consigned to the
Bloodgood Stock Farm at Great Barring»
ton, Mass, crashed into a box car loaded
with twenty-five barrels of naphtha. The
flat car was driven by the compact half
way through the naphtha car, smashing
several of the barrels. Frank
McLaughlin, the night car inspector,
while ascertaining the extent of the
damage to the cars, made use of his
lighted torch, and instantly there was
an explosion,caused by the faults of the
naphtha becoming ignited, and flames
shot out in every direction. Mr. Mc-
‘Loughlin‘s face and hands were fright-
fully burned.
An alarm of fire was turned in from
Box 3, and the department promptly re-
sponded. A line of hose was attached to
the hydrant at the corner of Clay street
and Railroad place, and later to the by.

" u'rshcd all other cars away from the two
tin-hing ones, and also succeeded, with
heir pikes, in pulling several barrels of
{til from the car before they exploded.
iThe vehicle on the flat car was what an
[feared to be an old-time stage coach. It
‘ontained on each side the words “United
4 States Mail, Southfield and Sandsfield.”

clothing was a mass of flames. He ran
shooting to the extent of his lungs, to-
ward the engine house. where a portion
of his clothing was stripped from his
body by willing hands. He afterward

curiosities and articles of interest.
Among the articles promised is a large
assortment of rare and valuable early
printed books from Rev.\V.J.Slocum,pas-
tor of St. Mary’s church. Father Slocum
has without doubt the largest and most
valuable collection of Bibles and geogra:
phies to be found in any private collect-
ion in the state of Connecticut. He has
books dating back as early as 1492.

shows the present town of Nor-

ses some of his rare and early
Greek and Roman coins, dating back
2,000 years, and other objects found by

Mrs. W. K. James has very kindly
ofiered Mr. Cram many rare and value-
ble specimens from her collection of
Chinese and European potteries and
