She had been to a considerable ex-

NEW fortunes
GOMPlflED this war
Has Been Under Construction in the
South Norwalk Frsight Yard for
Several Months Past.
The. New York New Haven and
Hartford Railroad Company has this
wees completed another model appar-
atus necessary for the successful op-
eration of a well-equipped line. This
is a turntable. which has been under
constgrction for the past six months in
the freight yard above Ann street. In
South Norwalk. The foundation of the
turntable is of masonry. the walls be-
ing some six feet in height, and con-
structed in the must substantial man-
ner possible, and expected to do ser-
vice for ages. The turntable itself is
of wood, seventy-two feet in length.
with heavy iron truss rods, etc. It has‘
been found that the steel tables in use
for a while on the road were not ser-
viceable, as those of wood can be more
easily adjusted should they become out
of plumb through the constant running
of the heavy locomotives on them.
The construction was under the su-
pervision of Superintendent Corey, of
the bridge department. and is one of
the largest and best,along the line. For
some time past it has been necessary
for all engines used on the local pas-
ssng‘sr and freight trains to go to Wil-
son's Pointto be turned about, and this
has oftentimes proved inconvenient
and caused a loss of considerable time.

into the ball» found it filled with smoke
and flames. "-Decicco's cries aroused
the other tenants, most of whom made
their, escape. " Decicco with his wife

cape byr a policeman who tried to re

Steward Doolittle opened up. He had
left everything shipshape at midnight

Many of the lockers were pried open.
a. poker being used to spring the locks.
and their contents were scattered
about the rooms. Fortunately most of.
the lockers opened were club lockers.
and not the ones used by the mem-
bers, so that the lossfrom this source
is not large. A complete set of pool
bells was taken and many other ar—
tlcles.
The most serious loss sustained by
the action of the thieves is that of the
