' reassure—Professor llarstrom's Pra-
; ”rater: School in Imminent Danger.
The cottage. barn and outbuildings
seam with Prof. (J. A. Harstrom's
Paparflory School on Prospect ave-
nue, Norwaik, were destroyed by
fire last evening. entailing ' a less
of about $2,500, partly covered by
insurance The large house, situated
only asbort distance from the burned
buildings, was not damaged, the wind
being in an opposite direction. Owing
to the high grounds on which the build-
fligsstand, the water pressure was very
low. there being only fifteen poumls on
“cone stream with which the firemen
were obliged to cope with the flames.
”(A second stream was turned on, but
gflllib‘hl’ shut off, as it reduced the pres-
. some that neither stream was effective.
This showed the need of the steamer,
now disabled and condemned, as with
fits assistance several streams could have
been forced on the flames.
The fire was discovered about 7:20
o'clock by Miss Carolyn Partridge, of
Phelps, N. Y., who is a guest of her also
tar. Mrs. Harslrom. Mr. Harstrom was
lathe library writing, when Miss Par-
; tridge rushed in and told him the barn
~ was on fire. The house was at once in an
, uproar. The students rushed out to save
' what they could and Mr. Earstrom ran
down the hill to Box 24, on Union Park,
to send in an alarm. The box refused to
respond. W. H. Smith, of Maple street.
‘ who came along at the time, also tried to
pull the lever, but the mechanism
would not work. After they had spent
several minutes at the box, Fred Decker
ands young lady came along on a tan-
dem bicycle. He was informed of the
ciscumstances, and leaving his compao-
ion he started down town to give the
alarm and have a general call sent out
from Box 15. By this time the flames
hadgained good headway and illumin-
ated the skyso that they airs plainly
seen allover town. Captain of Police
Dana saw the reflection, and not havmg
heard an alarm, ran to the corner of
leden avenue and Wall street to locate
the fire. He called the attention of
Councilman Adams tothe blaze, and had
determined tosend in an alarm, when
young Decker came along. He told the
captain the location of the flames and
Gil. officer ran to Hale’s corner and pul-
lad Box 15.
The department responded promptly.
Boole difficulty was encountered in get-
ting the supply wagon up the hill with a
team of horses. but with the truck this
was impossible. The company then do-
cided to go up the smaller hill into Mis.
‘ I. E. Mead's school yard. They got
half way up when they iii-came stalled
and were obliged to block the wheels and
have the apparatus. As the the pro
greased the truck was badly needed, and
two different crowds were sent down to
draw it up. The difficult feat was ilual.
ly accomplished with the aid of the
horses and the supply wagon.
Furled by a northwest breeze, the
firespread rapidly and soon the build-
ings were in flames. The one stream of
water could do no effective work, and
all the department could do was to use
the limited supply of water as best they
could. The sparks shot high in the air
and alighted on the roofs of neighboring
houses. As the wind shifted somewhat
several burning brands were carried
Ward the house. The roof was quickly
manned bya bucket brigade and thor»
oughly wet down.
The burned buildings consisted of ii
two‘story cottage with a carriage house
underneath, a barn in the roar, tool
house, hennivy. cow sheds and other out-
buildings, besides a long line of fence.
The cottage was used by Prof. liarstrnm
for recitation purposes and contained
hiaokhoards, desks, books. philosophical
apparatus and other school parapherna-
lia. This was gotten out. but the glass
portions of the lasting apparatus were
smashed in most instances. in the car-
riage house was a buggy. sleigh and bar-
usss. The horse was sold about two
watts ago Nothing was saved from the
tool house, but the cow was gotten out.
and John Dunlop, of Spring Hill, released

minute. The rope on the tackle broke
four times before the work was accom-

some had falls. Clothes were torn in the
shrubbery, and George Northrop. of
Phoenixdiad both hands bruised. During
the fire William Hamilton. of the same
company. had his hand hurt. The Fire
Police did excellent service in handling
the crowd, there being fully 2 500 peo-
ple around the grounds and in the high-
way. Among the spectators were many

ed them sufficiently to retire. At one
time it was feared that another alarm
would have to be sent in. but he appreci-
ated the hard work of the firemen and
determined not to call them out again
unless absoluwa necessary. John
Lowth, of the Fire Police, remained on
the scene over night.
This morning Mr. Harstrom told a re-
porter that the flames were discovered
by his little daughter Frances, who was
in the bath room, and she called her
aunt’s attentiontothe fire. He said he
had no idea how the fire originated. the
hired man, Peter Brzinick, had been in
the tool houses short time before, and
everything was all right. He had gone
to supper when the flames were discover-
ed. The fire seemed to have originated
under the caves, and while it may have
been the work of incendiariss, rats might
have carried some matches to make a
nest and set them on fire by gnawing
them.
The building was originally construct-
ed by General Craufurd, and the place
was later occupied by George Clarke. the
actor. who named the place “Clarke’s
Folly " it was afterwards purchased by
Cortland L Parker, a wealthy New
York commission merchant, who resided
there for a time and then went to New
York. He afterwards sold the propcri y
to Mrs. E. B. While, of Buffalo, N. Y.,
the present owner. Mr. Harslrom has
occupied the premiere, since Mr. Parker
left, for a school and residence.

'l'lii Hoyt Brim Shaping company

hureneived the contract for the make
lug of’instruments for the Danbury and
south Norwalk Telephone exchange.
The exchange is an enterprise whose
origin is of_ but comparatively recent
date. It has for its purpose the estab-
lishing of a telephone exchange between
D‘suhury. South N irwalk and intermed-
iate points. The people back of the, en-
terprise have already established a local
telephone service in Ridgrfleld and have
fifty nibscribers there. The service has
been in operation about a month. Poles
are being set and wires strung from
Ridgelleld to Branchville and George-
town with a view to linking those places
in Norwalk and South Nor-walk fran
chines have been secured for the setting
of poles and stringing of wires and the
work of building a system will be begun
immediately. This system will be ex-
tended north till it reaches the Ridge-field
system, and then a sermon will be estab-
lished in Danhury and this will be push-
ed south through Betbel and Redding
and join the other two.
The outcome will be that there will be
a new telephone company in the field
with a system that will extend from here
to South Norwalk. It is expected it will
be completed and in operation in six
weeks from this time. Ultimately the
new exchange will be extended to New
York.—-Danbury News.
