nrn Burned
Horse Killed
4 mung Was Owned by
Mrs. John Morton. and
Occupied by David laudy.
a Junk Dealer. Whose
loss on "the Contents will
be Oooslderable "
A barn owned by Mrs. John Morton
and used by David Laudy, a junk deal-
er at 92 Taylor avenue. was complete
1y destroyed by fire about 1 o'clock this
morning. One horse, owned by Mr.
Landy, waF‘burned to death in the
structure. A number of farming in
plements and quite a quantity of hay
was also destroyed. Fortunately none
of the buildings nearby caught from
the flying sparks.
How the fire originated is a mystery.
The first that was known of it was
when a colored man. passing over the
hill saw the flames. He immediately
ran to Box 42 and sent in an alarm of
fire. Then he ran to the scene of the
blaze. By the time he reached there.
before the whistle had stopped blowing
and bell ilnished ringing. the barn was
a seething mass of flames and about
ready to fall in. Old Well Hook and
Ladder Company and Putnam Hose
Company responded very quickly, con-
sidering the fact that it was at such
an hour. it made a hard pull for the
horses, but they went up the hill nice-
ly. There was little left for the fire-
men to do aftci‘ rescuing the spot. as
the barn had fallen in at that time. and
they could only keep the embers from
blowing upon the roofs of nearby
dwellings.
Some difficulty was experienced in
getting a stream of water upon the
blaze, as, it ‘was such a long distance
from a hydrant. The nearest hydrant
was 760 feet from the fire and the next
hydrant 850 feet away. This made a
long lineof hose to lay. but it was
done with creditable oldckness.
The distancdlbe‘twcen the two by-
drants a said to be 1.600 feet and as
there has been two fires in that vicin-
ity within.o.,mo.nth it is probable that
an application will be made for a ny-
drant near that spot.
The building wasfliueured, iLut it Is
understood that‘iltn'dy lost t , entire
amount valuevof his goods. through not
having them insured. The total loss
will be about 81.000.

two cakes of ice falling on him. while

ice wagon owned by Joseph McFarland.
and driven by Thomas Collins. The
boy sustained a very considerable abra-
sion at the base of the skull. a jagged
cut over the left eye. a broken nose.
internal injuries and concussion of the
brain. it is possible. however. that in
spite of these Injuries. he will live.
Collins was delivering ice at several
places in Springwood. yesterday. and
owing to the severe heat. his cart was
followed by a crowd of children. each
anxious to secure a piece of ice to eat.
When Collins stopped at Michael Lu-
b‘rano's saloon. the crowd of children
gathered about it. Lubrano chased
them away from the wagon once or
twice. but they followed 'it when Col-
lins drove around the corner to Adam
Schmidt's saloon. He left some ice at
Schmidt‘s. and started to drive up the
bill. He was unaware that there was
anyone riding on the hack of the wa-
gon. As the cart started up the incline
he heard two cakes of ice slide out of
the back of the wagon. and striking
the endboard of the wagon. fall to the
ground. Then he heard a scream. He
stopped his horses as quickly as it
takes to tell it. and wont to the back
of the wagon. There. on the ground.
lay the little boy, with one heavy cake
of ice across his stomach. The boy was
unconscious. and Collins believed that
he was either dead or dying. He took
him to a nearby house. where a bed-
quilt was laid on the plazas . His face
was sponged. and a telephone message
was sent for Dr. Clark. Dr. Clark Was
not at home; however. and Dr. Burnell
was called. He fixed the boyup as
well as he could on the spot 'and the
child's father carried the little fellow
home in his arms. During the after-
noon..Dr. Damon-tier was called into
consultation.
Dr. Burnell stated that while the
boy's injuries were very severe. he be-
lieved that he would live. This morn-
ing he was very comfortable. consider-
ing his precarious condition.

NEW COMPANY MAY COME'HERE.
Members of Merchants’ and Msnufs‘é-
turors' Annotation Interested.
The probability of the location In
South Norwalk of the Patent Window
Screen Company. at present in Sos—
ton, Is a growing one. There is a
strong likelihood that another import-
ant industry will be added to the many
which had such a pleasant and profit-
able bome in South Norwalk. This
matter has been before the Merchants'
and manufacturers' Association for
some weeks and has been given careful
consideration. ‘
A meeting of the association will be
held this evening at the ofllce, of J. B.
Lawrence, at which time the proposi-
tions of the company wllibe discussed.
The company will be represented by
its manager, its head salesman and the
inventor of the patent screen.
The company desires probably a
trifle more than the members of the as-
soclatlon will be willing to do at pres.
eat, but it is believed that at the meet-
Ing tonight. it will be possible to get
together on mutual ground and that
terms satisfactory to both parties In
interest may be. arranged.
The request was made this morning
that every member of the assmlatlon
turn out this evening and attend the
meeting to aid in securing this import-
ant industry to the city. and thus for
cilltate its growth in a business way.

‘ New York and Norwalk
Steamboat Oompaoy Direc-
tors Very favorably im-
pressed with the Steamer .
Hampton. at Present in
Southern Waters
it is probable that on Monday defi-
nite action will be taken by the direc-
tors of the New York and Norwalk
Steamboat Company regarding the
purchase of a new passenger boat .0
run between South Norwalk and New
York. The matter will he voted upon
at a meeting of the directors of the
company, to be held Monday evening
a the office of Judge John H. Light.
The steamer which Is at present
under consideration is one of the fi-
nest of its size anywhere along the
coast from Labrador to Florida. Her
name is the "Hampton." and she has
been used for a short time on southern
waters. The Hampton is of iron con-
struction. built on the most approved
lines by Lewis Nixon. the great ship-
builder. She will accomodats about
1,500 passengers and can be used in
almost all sorts of weather owing to
her seaworthiness. She is a side
wheel boat. and very handsomely flt-
ted up inside. She was built at a cost
of 6100.000.
Regarding speed. thr- Hampton is
very fast for a passenger steamer. She
made twenty~cne knots on her maiden
trip. and since that time has easily
developed twenty under ordinary pres-
sure.
She has been hauled out lately and
placed in the very best of repair. Pho-
tographs of her were taken and sent to
the directors of the Norwalk line.
There is apparently a strong feeling
among the directors that the Hampton
Is the vessel that they want if they can
only secure her at a price which will
allow of their making the purchase.
This matter. however, will be settled
Monday night. in all probability. Pat-
rons of the line will be assured of an
excellent service in case the Hampton
is secured. ,

wssHmo'rou eraser PAVING.
Will be Commenced by Contractor
Slskosloo In Two Weeks.
in less than two weeks. the paving
of East Washington street will be com-
menced; that is. unless something goes
wrong in the meantime. The contract
for the paving was let several days ago
to C. W. Blakeslee a Sons, of New Ha-
ven. > Yesterday Mr. Blakeslee was in
town looking over the situation. it is
believed that he will not take the full
five days which are allowed him to sign
the contract, but will begin the work
just as soon as the brick begins to ar-
rive. The first work to be done will
be to straighten up the curbs and gut-
ters. This will be done before any of
the present pavement is removed. Then
as soon as the brick arrives. the old
stone blocks will be taken up and the
concretoJonndstlon laid for the brick.
Every effort will be made to facili-
tate the work and it is believed that
the transformation of Washington
street will have been completed in a
month. This rapidity. which seems
almost incredible, is due to the condi-
tion in which the street is at the pres
out time and the fear that owing to
its condition some accident. may occur
which will render _the city liable for
damages.
