on Charles Dyas. a brakeman on the
night; switcher. was completing his du-
tieund crossing through the old Con-
gregational Church yard from the Dan-
bury track to reach North Main street.
he discovered a fire in the basement
entrance to Ill. C. Oweus’s confection-
ary and baker story. He endeavored
to arouse the owner and other mem-
bers of too family. who reside in the
apartments over the store. but was llll-
successful. He then went across the
street to the New Warwick Hotel. but
could not make himself heard there.
Meanwhile Mr. Owens‘s dogs had made
so much commotion that the family
was awakened. and came down stairs
to learn the cause of the noise.
The fire by this time had spread
from a barrel filled with waste paper
to the woodwork of the entrance. and
was eating its way up the sides of the
building. A bucket brigade was hastily
formed. and with the united efforts of
the people assembled the flames were
extinguished. The fire is thought to
have started from some matches which
might have been in the barrel with the
papers. The damage will not exceed
$25. covered by insurance.

_ To Maintain the Legal Tender Silver

planation by the Fourth Dls~
trlct Representative.
Representative Hill. of Norwalk.
yesterday introduced a bill to maintain

Ml". Hill supplements this will with
another providing for exchanging the
grccnlincks for gold certificates. so
that the former may be rctircd without
any lessening of the currency in circu~
latlou.
Mr. llill's bill directs the secretary
of the treasury "to coin the slivcr bul-

The bill also directs the secretary of

And to that cud ho is authorized 'to

for Long Beach Beacon Light. in con-
nectlcut. be placed on the emergency

those which the appropriations com~
mitten of the House refused to con-
older. the chairman holding that his
committee was not the proper place to
originate legislation and could only
appropriate $0M” for work already
authorized b Congress. the demand
for which had originated in some other
committee. The lighthouse board sug-
gests that the amounts be restored by
the Senate committee on appropria
floor or by means of the House com-
mittee on interstate and foreign com-
morcc. as the rejection of the appro
prlatlons would be lnluriouo to the

Abroaot of the Times.
HARTFORD, January 4-—'I‘lle an-
nual report of llcman O. Averill, coni-
vuisuioucr on domestic animals. sub-
mitted to the governor. says the rec-
ords of the department. shows the or
pcnscs for the year ending September
30. to have been $4,410.14. this sum it;-
cludiug compensation for cattle cou-
demned. In response to calls to ex-
uuilne suspicious cases of bovine tub
crculosis. .185 animals were inspoctcd.
The number of cattle inspected fur-
nishing milk to the Boston and Nor~
walk and South Norwalk markets was
3.339. and the total number of cattle
"ondcnmcd was 118. for which a total
amount of 02 was allowed as com
'icnsatlou. a average of 315.27 a bond.
The work of Inspecting for the mar-
kets was done in response to many
calls from farmers and was made pith
cssnry by the action of the Boston
Board of Health and the health regula-
tions. of the cities of Norwalk and
South Norwalk requiring an annual In-
lpoclloll.
The report says bovine tuberculosis
is the only contagious disease that ex-
lats among the cattle in the state that
is recognized as dangerous to the pub-
lic health. and every animal that is
found to be affected with this disease
by a physical examination has been.
condemned. killed and buried. In
every such case. the owner and the
commissioner have been able to agree
upon the price to be paid by the state.
The voluntary extinction of bovlntI
luberculouis by the owner will be
greatly encouraged and aided by edu-
cating the farmer and herdoman re.
spouting the disease so that they will
be able to diagnose it In its earlier
stages. To carry on a campaign of
instruction as well as wage a war of
destruction should be the constant aim
and effort of this department. says the
report.
“There are no data by which we can
determine if bovine tuberculosis is on
the increase or the decrease in this
state at the present time. However
If We take a period back about thirty-
llvc years. when the farmers of the
state ware generally engaged in buy-
ing young stock. mostly steers from
the west. and after feeding them a
year or two. selling them to the batch-
er. and compare it with the present
time when «frying is the leading in-
dustry of the farmers of the state. the
