Bankers and Business Men
Agree That Trade Was Fully
Upto the Standard of Years
Pest,” and Many of Them Did
Better Than Ever Before
That The Nurwalks have suffered
very little Rom the recent panic in
the financial markets of New York is
a fact which has become evident since.
the Christmas rush of business came to
a close and the banks have received
the depo'sita of the merchants who
haVe reaped a golden hurtest. Prior
to Christmas, merchants about the t by
were rather apprehensive that their
' trade this year would be poor and
that The Nortvulks would bwatfeclcd
seriously. Iristtad or that, however,
not a merchant who was asked about
his Christmas trudohad anything but
pleasure to express at its trutgnltude.
In fact most or them even beat their
banner years.
Treasurer Charles E. lloyt, of the
South NOT'Wfllif Trust Company, stated
to a Sentinel reporter that business
conditions in The Norwalks during'the
holiday season hare been excellent.
"As nearly as i can estimate from
what depositors have said to trul- many
"of the merchants ha'vt- beaten 'tthrI
banner years anti the depositorn with
us have been frilly up to those of tho
.nverage Christmas. One of the best
indications of the fact, that. business
conditions here are good bushel-n the
fact. that, the withdrawals of money‘for
expenditure at. Christmas have been
only normal. During these times of
. financial stress the people of Tire Nor
walk'b Ierv acted in a most sane man-
ner ing that they have (onfldence
in the banks and The Norwalks have
suffered as little by th- late panic as
any city that I know 0
(‘ashler Wilfred Bodwell. of the

Monday and Tuesday were remarkably
good days for the more Is. as the-It
deposits show. People I‘zfetted buy

”Our holiday trade was fmxttlii'llt
said A. J. Collins, when ask-(d tester-

real good and other merchants whom I

Louis PrICe, the clothler. stated to
a Sentinel reported yesterday: "My
holiday Irll'lf' was frilly up to the stan-
dard of the past several. years."
"Our business has been ahead of InsI
year and drummers with whom I have
talked during the, past few days say
that the retail business throughout this
section of the country is fullv tip to the
standard of last year. The ortly dit’fcr-

of buying luxuries the people have

Cannot Find the Bodies of
Three Members
BOSTON. Dee. 27.-—Five persons
were burned to death in a fire which
destroyed the house of John Clark, at
Watertown. a suburb. early today. Ev-
ery member of the Clark family met
death in the flames. .
The dead are: John Clark, his wife.
and their three children. .lobn,.aged
I: Philip, aged 9. and Doris, aged 2.
The cause of the fire will never be
known. as‘ the flames had made great
headway when first discovered by a
neighbor shortly after 1 o‘clock, The
house 'as about two miles front the
center of the form and by the time
the firemen reached the scene the
house had been lllll‘llt-ti almost to the
ground. 'l‘he'lit'emen were able to lo-
t'ate the bodies of the father and Iyio
boys, Iurt the mother and little girl
were not found "until tho ruins of the
house had tIoolcd sufficiently to permit
a more thorough se,ar'ch
store on It‘t’llit‘lm‘liflil' Square Boston.
it was nearly daylight before the
ruins or the lilliltlan'Wt'l't‘ sufficiently
bodies. That of Mrs. Clark was found
continue the search for the remaining
bodies. That of him, Clark wash found
near the chimney, badly disfigured,
while the body of the baby, Doris, also
charred, was discovered few feet
it
away. [The bodies wrapped in plan.
kets, were carried to a local undertak-
ers. .
The police, assisted by several uteru-
butt; of the fire utarshal's otllt'c ol the
state police, at once began an investi-
gntlon ot the, probable cause of the
fire.
'l'lrc officers had very little to work
upon as the litlllht' a mass of
strtouldet'itIg ashes and charred Iitn~
bers, litany of which had been thrown
about during the Search for the bod
len.
Persons living in the vicinity could
give but very little information re
garding the origin of the blaze, as the
crackling of the flames about i o'clock
wits the first intimation of the fire.
Those who saw the fire first said that
the entire structure was enveloped in
smoke and flames when they looked
out of their own windows. and that no
cries or shouts were heard.
The fire was discovered by several
persons who happened it! be awake at
Iilt time. Two men living ntIaIby I‘IIsbI
rd ovur to thc t‘latk house and smash-
«Id in the front door. They Were able
to reach Ibe laudtng on ”It' second
floor, where Illin discovered the bod-
les of Mr. (‘iark and his two sons. it
was evident that Mr, Clark had been
aroused by the smoke and that he had
‘rlif‘t'f't'tlf'ti in awakening his boys. but
that all three had suffocated before
they reached the stairs. The bodies
Were prevented by smokeI and flames.
attempted to re-enter the building. but
were prcvntd by in smoke and flames.
The bodies of Mrs. Clark and Doris.
burned almost beyond recognition.
wr-re found in thtI, ruins several hours
later. I
Mr, Clark came to Boston from
Washington twelve years ago. having
been cmployctl In a seed store In the
latter city. Ills father, .lohn II‘. Clark,
is connected with the, Department of
Agriculture at Worthington. Mrs.
(‘lark was a southern'wrmuin. btrt her
family's location was not known here.
.Iohn lI‘. Clark, the father of the dead
man, was notified of the tragedy to-
day, and it was learned that he would
leave Washington at once to take
clflrgc of the bodies. ‘
All the investigation progressed, it
develotwd that Mr. Clark was in the
habit of leaving a lighted lamp every
night. on a tattle in the hall. which
was In the center of the. house. It In
supposed that either "It' lamp explod-
ed or that its flame in mum- planner
communicated with the thlwork of
the building.
