from Adolph Ellenbach. the son and
namesake of the engineer of the lac.

came running In. eaclaiming that the
building was on fire Previous to this

it was necessary to get the lira de

Fire Engine in Use,

The Phoenix steamer was takes first

this point. Later the word came to
change its location and It was brought
back to a point In front of the Main

ed with a steamer plug. Engineer

Hamperad by Rotten Hose.

One of the worst features with which
the firemen had to contend was the
rotten hose. Norwalk‘ may be In need
of an auto oblle fire truck such as
was just or fired, but it would also be
a first-class business proposition to
btty some hose. Yesterdhys lire put
a big sectionslim of the available supply

firemen had a number of patent coup—

water and good pressure. went to

waste. When one coupling was un-

Murray turned himself into a human

one length of hose that had broken.
Some of the Dangers.

One considerable source of danger
was from the walls, but none of them
fall. though. they were left blue at
the top at the factory. The firemen
guarded the spectators by keeping
them out. of the danger tone. Sections
of the roof came ripping down through
the air but so far as could be ascer-
tained no one was struck. Several
pieces of slate narrowly grazed fire

would cut for safety.

As the fire ran its course there was
found to be much peril from the elec
tric wires running into the building
and by it. LineIncn were summoned
to look after this part of the situation
and they cut away any wire that look-
ed as If It would cause trouble. The
general public. from past sxpericuw
has learned to have a healthy horror
for loose wires and consequently there
was not much of a guard needed to
keep people away front the loose ends.

Trolley Traffic Tied Up.

The ‘llnsd‘of hose Which were lald
across M'Itln street. completely tied up
the traffic for about two hours on the
Winnlpauk line. There was no cut
above Hoyt stream! the timennd con

Brandy's Hot Coffee.

During a good section of the flute
that fits fire. was in progress. a drizzle
fell and the firemen. in addition to be
lug drenched to the skin by the spray
from the nozzles. particularly when a
line went astray. were soaked by sl-
mou pure rain. hdsny of them were
poorly fitted out with rubber coats and
boots and in consequence their lot was
not a pleasant one. especially in view
of the Hereby-like weather. it felt
almost cold enough to snow. At this
juncture unread Raymond came to
the rescue with a big pail of steaming
hot coffee. whith he passed out to the
men of the department. His thought
fulness was deeply appreciated and
the beverage was very much In de

It dekelops that Chief Milne. before

the fire from the rear and for that
reason had ordered the steamer to

assumed charge after the chic? was
knocked out. we e not aware of this
