BAPTIST NEIGHBORHOOD DAY. The South Norwalk Baptist church and Sunday School have been ObleI'V' lng “Neighborhood Day" today, and nurch good work has been done. The purpose of the observance of the day was to make church life more virtu. ally felt by every one. showing an in- alm: in those who ate in the nelxh bnrhood of the members, thus quicken- ing the social side of personal relig ion. The question la, “who is in my neighborhood?" And the aim of the plan in to carry out tha‘ neighborly spirit in the name of the church.

Sillllll BUSINESS llill lllSl Ill I Will (Continued from First Page.) o‘clock when Officer John H. Smith turned in the first alarm, from Box is, at the corner of Ann and North Main streets. The officer had been patrolv ling in this neighborhood but a few minutes before this time and every- right. I59 quickly did the flames spread that n“, night watchman did not know of the tron-2‘3 “I'll“ "’9 90' lineman saw the flames some: “1' from the rear of the building.‘ ~,,~ - Four Alarms Turned In. The first alarm brought the firemen on the jump, but as this is iii“ the time the volunteer boys are getting in their best licks of sleep, the first alarm did not bring such a response as would have been the case earlier. in order to get out every available man, Chief Harold F. Clark had four alarms in all turned in. Flames Spread Fact. When thclfiremen ruched the scene the flames had gained such tremen- ihlng. so far as he noticed, was all ' dous headway that it was realized that there was no chance of saving the structure. The hungry, leaping and rapidly advancing tongues of fire were brilliantly lighting up the neighbor- hood and coursing through the build- ing with the rapidity of a grass fire. The heart of the blaze then secured to be the elevator shaft. directly at the rear,of the wooden building. it was not long before the whole building was It solid column of fire. All the Hole in Use. Every foot of hose available was used. until finally 3,500 feet was in commission and nine streams of water were sent into the fiery furnace. Even the old jumper was brought up from Water street and reels of hose were loaned from the R k G corset factory and from the water commissioners. 500 feet being secured from each. Ev- ery hydrant in the vicinity was con- nected with. The fire was fought from the ground, from ladders and from the roof of the Cluctt, Peabody & Co. fac- tory, directly across the street. Big Conn-oration Prevented. Had the firemen not directed their efforts so well, It can readily be seen that a widespread conflagration must inevitably have swept over the whole neighborhood. lint the firemen kept boring away. following up the spread of the flames whenever they were more than usually threatening in any quarter and in this way, kept them confined to the wooden buildingom per. ,, Adjoining Building on Fire. "Even as early as when the firemen first reached the scene, the gap be- tween the rear of the wooden struc- ture to the brick one had been leaped, The runway between was aflre, as was also the double door of the second story of the brick building. The fire- men got lines of hose around there and beat down the homes so success fully at this point that they did not penetrate the inside of the brick build- ing. 0n the first floor, James Brobks & Co, were able to continue this morn- ing the work of getting ready to open their auto garage. Narrow Escape: from Death. Duringthe fire, the members of the department took all sorts of chances and risked death time and again. Thrilling experiences there were ev- ery minute. Former Chief A. E. Win- chester, while taking a line of hose into the building, was driven back by a back draft of smoke and so over- come that he was obliged to recupen ate on the lawn of Mrs. E. A. Wood- ward's residence. Archie Nash was struck by a nozzle and had his nose split open. and a ladder came down on one of former Chief 1). W. Har- ford's ankles. badly bruising it. In addition. several other men of the tie partniont had small cuts and bruises. Mr. Gorhnm Overcome. Joseph W. Gorham. of the City Print- ing 00.. also had a harrowing exper- ience. in an effort to save a blank check book he had been printing for the city. Mr. Gonham dashed into his printing office and was overcome. Fire~ men picked him up and carried him out into the open air. where he soon revived. Ilefore he was done up by the smoke. Mr. Gorham succeeded in saving the copy of the city reports, the Job of printing which he had secured. Very little was saved from his place of business except a desk. Few Articles Saved. Before the flames reached the front of the building, an effort was made to save the contenfi that could be reach- ed. This work resulted in the rec one of a number at articles of etch in Mr. Wright‘s harness shop. The wurkcd its way through the building so fast that the articles saved were necessarily limited “in number. Just one article was saved among Gustave cacao William Jennings had taken it some of it had only recently been put Advance Showing Stein 4.

The firemen followed orders precision and worked to good tags under the direction of the of the department. Chief ld F. Clark was in charge and wan bucked up by his assistants, E. W. mark and Chester F. Clark and the various com- pany officers. The apparatus did not come out of the fray entirely unscath ed, though not much damaged. The wire basket on the Putn‘am chemical wagon was broken and a 30-foot lad- der of the Old Well truck was battle- scarred with blisters. Mr. Lemongclil Heaviest Loser. The heaviest loser among the ten- ants is, of course, Frank Lemongelil. proprietor of the South Norwalk Hat Company. Mr. Lemongelli, it was stat- ed, estimated his loss today as high as 830,000. Mr. Lemongelli established his business on .the third floor of the Wright building something like a year ago,and since that time the enterprise has continued to grow in importance. lie had much valuable machinery and in. its also had a large stock on hand and a considerable consignment ready to be flipped. . “W Origin of line Uncertain. _ pinion differs as to just where the re originated. Therein no doubt that it had its inception at therein of the wooden structure. Some people who have noticed the fire mnrks on the rear of the section occupied by the clothing bout, whore tho fianc- ahot says that when he reached the scene. , the fire was. coming out of the section "" directly back of the barber shop. Incendiary or Accidental? 5/ The question of whether the was of accidental or incendiary h is also being concidciighiy disc Many people declare that. it i them as if the structure was not aflre. Thus far there has been nothing done toward an investigation but it. was stated that the insurance company representatives will of course investi- gate very carefully. One insurance man from Hartford was on the ground before 11 o‘clock. Mr. Wright in Hartford. Luther‘M. Wright, the owner’of the ‘ building. was in Hartford at the time of the fire, having gone there in com- ' pnny with William 1. Kent, of New York. who is a summer resident of Hickory Bluff, and they are expected home this afternoon. in the meantime Mr. Wright‘s loss cannot be figured minutely. There is little doubt nanny“ quarter that his is a total one prac; tically. The building itself in good for nothing, there being hardly an‘ un— loathed board.
