Hundred Dollars—A ne- fsetlvs Stove Pipe lsspenslhle. What threatened to he a disastrous fire broke out this morning in the very heart of the business portion of Nor- weik, but was quickly controlled by the efiiclent work of the Norwalk fire do. pertinent. About 9:30 o’clock people walking along Well street, near the corner of Main. were nearly stifled by a cloud of smoke which suddenly enveloped the street and obscured their vision It was pouring from the roof and upper win- dows of the Lockwood building on Wall street, the ground floor of which is oc- cupied by Jones dz Hotchkira‘ branch crockery store and the upper portion by Patrick Slattery's barber shop. Captain A. J. Meeker, of the Fir. Police. attempt- ed to turn in an alarm from Box 15, at Hale's drug store. but the big bell refus- ed‘to respond. The members of the de- partment at work in the business portion of the city quickly tu out when they saw the excitement. en the apparatus was on hand before Superintendent John H. Hoyt, of the fire alarm system. could send in an alarm from Box 62, where he ran as soon as hefonnd 'that Box 15 would not work. Three streams of water were turned on the building. end the flames were con- fined to the left of the structure. The Hansen experienced considerable diffi- culty in raising their ladders on account of the net work of wires about the building, and it was really dangerous for the firemen working in the midst of them, although, luckily. no one received a shock. Hope Hose company kept a stream on the roof, Phoenix tackled the interior of the gerret with one stream. while with the other they played on the other side of the building to protect the Retcbford property. The flames were extinguished in about half an hour. The building was flooded end the damage by water will be fully as much as by fire, if not more. The building is owned by Menice De I". Lockwood and is insured with Cowles & Merrill for 81,800. half in the Owen and the other half in the films. The damage to the building is thought tobeebout $1.000. Jones & Hotchkles think they will suffer an equal less. They are fully insured with Coolidge & Lynes. Patrick Slettery is damaged to the extent of .800. This is the third time that the structure has been on fire. It is one of the oldest buildings in the city of Norwalk. The garret was gutted by this morning's tire and the ceilings and walls are soaked with water so that part of them have dropped off, both in the barber shop and in Jones & Hotchkiss' store. A new shingle roof will have to be placed on the struc- turn, and probably the roof supports will have to be replaced. Two chimneys run through the build- ing and bricks and mortar had fallen out of both. Into one of the chimneys. near the front of the building, was a stove pipe, coming up through the floor from Mr. Siattery’s barber shop. There iaahole in the pipe and near by was a large pile of papers, together with other inflammable rubbish. Mr. Siettsry said he had just started a fire and was empty- ing his ashes when he was informed that his gsrrett was all ablaze. The store in which be kindled the fire smoked badly, andhedid not notice the smoke from above. During the fire trafiic was at a stand- still and trolley cars were stalled, as the been blocked the streets. Immediately alter the tire the building was vacated. as the walls were unsafe. Mr. Slattery moved his barber shop to 3 Wall street. and Jones Jr Botchkiss clos~ ed their stores until repairs can be made. Thereasou why the tire alarm failed to ring was a ground on the line, caused by a tree falling on a telephone and tire alarm wireduring the night at the foot of Chestnut street. VIII!

CONDITIONS IN STAMFORD. lleslth omeer Iehevnlr lssnsse Statement Concerning the Typhoid lplde-lc. In view of the many exaggerated and untrutful accounts which have appeared in the newspapers d ng the last few weeks about the con tions in Stamford. Dr. F. Schavlor, health ofiicer of that city, makes the following statement: "Since the first outbreak of the typhoid fever, 339 cases have been reported to me,of which 309 were directly and thirty were indirectly traceable to the use of milk from one certain dairyman. The ao-cailed epidemic is therefore a case of wholesale poisoning rather then anything else, and typhoid fever is not any more peculiar to Stamford, than it is to any other community. The source of the disease wu so readily and easily traced that it could be suppressed without loss of time, and I am happy to say that since May 6 only two new cases were reported to me, and these two cases were also caused by the some milk, but were of such a mild type that they came under the notice of a physician only very late. "The health authorities have proceed- ed with so much energy and circumspec. tion that it is not probable any further caseso will arise. ' No secondary cases have arisen. “Typhoid fever is not a contagious dis- cus, and is contracted by eating and drinking infected food. The infectious material is contained only in the elvine discharges of persons suilering from this malady, and common cleanliness ought to prevent the production of the disease. Educated people are quite familiar with these facts, and it is only ignorant ones who have shown any fear of the disease. "There iaabsolutely no panic in Stem- ford, and business as well as general ef- fnirs go on in the same way as before. "Our physicians, though somewhat overworked. have been able to minister to all of their patients, and the latter are in about ninety per cent. reported as con- valescent. The small number of deaths which have occurred were mostly of cases where the persons were either all- ing before contracting the disease or of a weak constitution. In several cases death was caused by imprudence in ent- ing, committed by the patients against the express orders of the attending’phy' sicisns. ”Within a few weeks it is expected that the siliiction will hen thing of the past. and the energetic as well as liberal measures taken by the Common Council in appointing sanitary inspectors will prevent the recurrence of such no evil as has caused the present trouble." It was all a his. is the Superior Court. yesterday. John Conroy (not South Norwaik's John) who stole a purse in a Bridgeport saloon about amonth ago. was sentenced to three years in the state's prison. Con- roy could have got off with esentence of six months in jail if he had pleaded guilly.but he refused and stood trial. The jury found him guilty. Then he told a and story about his doings in Nor- waik and the court continued the case pending nuance to make investigations. Detective Arnold came here'l'hnrsdsy to make inquiries and be discovered that it was all ails. The judge accordingly imposed—W the bsevy nuance. wines lees Wash.
