Very Busy Morning.
HARTFORD. August 26.—‘Thifl city
had a tire scare today, following the
blaze which swept through the wood
sawing plant of the Mason Coal Com-
pany in the Old Stone Arsenal on the
north side of Front street. The tire
almost approached conflagrailon pIo-
pottions and only the immediate turn-
ing out of the entire department saved
a large number of old. dilapidated tene-
ment houses on Front and Tuicoit
streets. The fire broke out aroufid
the smoke stack on the arsenal, and
was first located in a lot. of 3sawduut

which ran inc all directions and into
the building itself. As in all wood
sawing plants, everything was coated
with fine sawdust and workmen at
their machines were surprised to ace
the fire bursting out in all parts of the
structure as if ihere had been an ex
plosiou. The air was full of flame
and scarcely a workman had tirm1 to
save a tool, so hasty was his exit
From the arsenal the fire spread to a
brick building occupied by the Hart-
ford Building Finishing Company, and
the tenement houses small fires brcnk-
log out in tennauts rooms as the
sparks went in the open windows. The
fire men paid most attention to saving
houses. as the arsenal was doomed
Item the first Of the arsenal only
the walls remain and the brick build-
ing is thoroughly gutted. The total
losses probably will reach 325 000.
After the firemen and policemen had
taken out the occupants of the houses
several of them went back III search of
babies which mothers thought they
had left behind and which afterwards
it was found, had been cared for by
other families The fire had spiced
so quickly that scarcely a tenant
had a chance to save an article of
clothing or household furniture.
The fire did not last more. than a
couple of hours. but it surely was the
busiest two hours the firemen in this
city have had for a long time.
