Ollicer Smith Discovered the Blue Shortly Belore 2 O'clock. and Several
Alanna Were Tamed ln. Bringing a Prompt Response Irom
the Volunteer
By far fire most destructive fire that
has visited this city since the railroad
freight depot was destroyed. about a
year and a half ago. broke out shortly
before 2 o'clock this morning in Luth-
er M. Wright's building at the south
west corner of North Main and Union
streets. and despite the hardest kind
of work on the part of the firemen. the
structure was reduced to a complete
loss.‘ A conservative estimate of the
damage is from 820.000 to 325.000.
Firemen Worked Over Six Hours.
This afternoon all that remains of
the building. which was a wooden one.
and its contents, is a smoking pile of
ruins. The firemen worked contlilir
oualy from the time they responded to
the alarm until about 8:30. and then
several men were left in charge to
keep wetting down the embers where
they showed signs of reviving life.
The Detailed Losses.

The firemen. were kept busy for
nearly an hour before they had comI

were located in the isppaning depart-
ment, in a second story, within about
75 feet of the Marshall street gate of
the factory.
To Harry S. Sheldon belongs the
credit of promptly glvin the alarm
tnd perhaps saving ans fire. Mr.
Sheldon who lives at In Washington

his windows in big homo and saw a

did not take long to convince him that

The petition says:

It is pointed out. that In addition to
being hilarious to health. the shell
pile has a most offensive smell. This
matter has. been (modestly agitated
among East Norwslk people? for a long

Ears Holloway Was Wanted by the
New loudest Authorities and
Most Stand Trial
Cannabis Edward J. Lsdrlgsn. late
yesterday afternoon made a clever esp-
turs of a party for whom a search has
been in progress for some time. The
man was Esra Holloway. and he was
accused of stealing a fishing smack
worth $350 from a resident of New
London.
The authorities, In sending out a
description of Ilailowny. designated
him as being one of the slickeat boat
thieves in the country. He knows
Long island Sound from one end to
the other. and it was surmised that
he might come in this direction.
That llslloway was on his way here
proved to be true. for a few days ago
Constable Ladrtgan, who knew him.
received a letter stating that Holloway
had had his pension forwarded to the
Itowayton postoiilco. in care of Mr.
ladrlgsn. and requested him to get
it for him. Mr. Ladrtgsn secured the
pension letter from Postmaster Harvey
S. Aekart, at ltowuyton. and placed it
with the writ for llalloway‘s arrest.
Sure enough. he appeared on'ibo
scene yesterday and was promptly tak-
en into custody. and driven to the
South Norwalli lockup, where he re
mained over night.
This morning Constable liadrlgnn
took listlowsy to New London. where
he will have a hearing. He lived on
board the boat. but formerly lived in
a shanty near the White Iirtdgc. At
one time the family disappeared. and
It was reported they were drowned.
