Store Houso hHHMo Property of tho Amer- ican Corset and (lasp Company Damaged. and ' Buildings in Wall and Main Streets Ihroatonod, ihis Morning What promised to be a very threat- ening fire was discovered at an oppor- tune time about 6:60 o'clock, this morning. in the rear of the Norwalk Boston store building and several oth- er structures, fronting on Main and Wall streets. In some unexplained manner a pile of boxes which were lying in the yard, ignited and were soon blazing so furi- ously that the flames communicated to a small building, in which were stored many packing boxes, owned by the American Corset and Clasp Company, whose factory is in the Centennial building. A portion of fence was also burned. An alarm of fire was sent in from Box 15, at the Giendennlng drug store corner. The firemen were soon on hand and had a heavy volume of water pouring on the blaze in a few moments. successfully quenching it after consid- erable effort. It is believed that the damage will amount to $25 or $50. for repairs to the box store house one side of which will probably have to be rebuilt. as much of the siding was badly charimcd The fire occurred at Just the time that hundreds of Norwalkcrs were go- ing to their work and the work of the firemen interferred for several minutes with the trolley traffic. - Cars were unable to pass the corner of Main and Wall streets for some time, owing to the base across the ' tracks, connected with nearby hy- drants. When asked the cause of the blaze, later in the morning. Chief J. Thornton Prowitt. who had directed the efforts of the firemen stated that he had not the least idea: but rather inclined to the belief that it was the work of boys. Others have advanced several other theories. but It is not believed that the blaze was of incindlory origin, as fire- bugs would not have taken the trouble to start: a fire in such a manner. It is thought possible that some one passing the spot on the way to employ- ment threw a lighted cigar or cigarette on the ground, and fanned by the stiff breeze, it. soon caused a blaze. It is stated that rubbish was burned in the yard yesterday. but it was be- lieved that this would have caused a fire earlier had any sparks remained. All of the citys fire apparatus col- lected at the scene of the fire, with the exception of the Phoenix steamer. A hand hose carriage, belonging to Hope Hose Company, which is only taken out on an alarm of fire in the center of the city, did good service. The hose on this was connected on the hydrant di- rectly across the street from the Bos- ton store. The Phoenix hose wagon connected with a hydrant in High street, .while the other Hope hose wagon, connected with the hydrant In front of the DeKlvn bakery. EXCITING TIMES ON THE “YANKEE." Ralph Wade.

Spoiling loulosl Brought to [lose Sumo Pupils at fronltlin, Concord and Knudsen Build- ings Who were familiar with Many Words The spelling contest in the South Norwalk city schools. inaugurated through the generous gift of $25, to Supt. W. C, l-‘onle, by Samuel R. Wood. a promircnt New York city business man, whose home is here, is at an end. . The grades of the three school build-l jugs, Franklin. Concord and Knudsen. were divided into three groups: A.t comprising fifth year pupils and above; group B. pupils of second. third and fotirib years; C, the pupils at school less than two full years. On the or- iginal lists. it was found after many trials to be impossible to spell down all. Accordingly at Easter additional lists were added to the requirement of rock group. For Illustration 1,000 words was lost of group A. At Easter. Rs fifteen pupils were invincible there on, a new additional list of 300 words was required. In this group the prize winner, who receives a 85 gold piece in Miss Blanche Poblman, of Room \f Franklin. Her rivals at the clos- ‘ing of contest were Lizzie anlov Paul inc Madden. May Gilmore, Smile. ire land. Fred Connolly. Sadie And on. Myra Richards. Ruth St. John. ,vrtie I Scullv, Irene Coleman, Marguerite Baudin. Ira Tilly. Cecilia Quitner.

Cecilia Q‘JIIDGI’ being lost to fail and Ira Tilly next to last. Blanche Pohlman. who proved successful. is not yet thirteen years of are. and hopes to enter High School in September, in group R. the prize winner is Ike Dorenflnld who was born in Russia. His final rival was Miss Marjorie Bou- ton, of the. Knudsen building. It self— composed little one of nine years. This group had some 900 words from the regular work of the first five years involving the entire fifth year sched- ule which was wholly new and given at Faster to the remnant. The primary contest is yet to be set- tled—six pupils still not spoiled down. In the Inter-grade contests. the room leading in Class A was Grade T. that receives :10 for its room use. with Grade M a vcrv close second. In Class B, room H of Franklin. is win- ner, receiving $5. In primary contest. Room A. Franklin, receives as victor $.l award. Rooms J at both buildings and I at Knudsen contested likewise for supremacv, with drawing from 1,- 000 word contest by reason of burns . turlty of pupils. To the winner of this three-cornered contest. Prin. Foote makes special award to Room J. Frank- liu. Lizzie Tarlov, a pupil of this same room, survived all tests till af- ter Easter. She Is but eleven years of age, yet stood fourteenth in finals. The contest has been a. valuable one. for the stimulus of the. offered prizes has called attention in a marked de- ,gree to the topic—Spelling. Such ’caustlc. and in some respects just. crit- icisms have been made as to the in. efilclency of public school graduates to spell acceptably that educators are in- vestlgating the reason for this poor result. Dr. Rice in the “Forum” has given results of his extended investi- gation. Here, as this test has pro- gressed. the intelligent teachers have formed certain conclusions. Most :will agree the per cent. of poor spell- erl ought to be no more than of poor computers, or poor readers. As a Ilimited number only are monotones so a small group only should be allowed to be lncompetents in spelling. BOYS' GUILD SEASON CLOSING.
