The aceldent occurred in front of
the Darien boarding kennels on the
Norwelk Post road.

Harris this morning in the up-
town jail said that he was not the
cause of Pennell's death and main-
tained that he was driving care-
fully. He seemed very much excited
and declared that spectators who
gathered at the accident early this
'morning made attempts to lynch
him. He told an Evening Sentinel
reporter that one. fellow came 11]) to
him and made an attempt to carry
him off.

“It'll tough on us colored folks."
he said. “I was laying in the grass.
and they wanted to string me up."
He was venement in declaring that
he was not the cause of the accident.
He was vehement in declaring that
his aunt 1n Worcester, but author-
files are inclined to discredit this
story. It is believed that the calm-ed
people were out. for a 303/ party over

found no evidences of attempts lit

buildings. it was this same fire wall

on the South side of the building

that saved it from burning at the

time of the Clifford Hotel Fire and

again it proved its worth today.
Narrov Escape.

As the fireman fought the flames
several of them had narrow escapes
from serious injury. Al Fireman
Burl Waldron of the paid depart-
ment stationed at the Central Fire
station held the nozzle of a hose in
one of ll1e burning rooms a large
timber fell from above and struck
the nozzle of the hoeo knooking it
out of his hand. He just stepped out
of the way as the beam landed at his
feet. '

As Fireman George North from
the First Iliktl‘it'i “as running along
with the first line of hose to be run
into the building he slipped on the
pavement. and suffered a cut on his
knee cap. but continued to fight the
blaze during the remainder of the
morning.

(‘ornicc li‘cil.

Shortly after six o'clock the large
cornice on the front of the building
fell and as it did a part of it struck
the back of Fireman George Gainer
who was holding the hone in front
of the building. He saw the falling
mass and covered up his head and
dashed for safety just getting out. of
the way in time.

Timbers and brick continued to
crash down falling around firemen.
but this did not (taunt them in their
efforts to halt the blaze which was
threatening IIIt' entire South Main
strcct business section.

At 6:30 o'clock they had the fire.
under control and it was then only
a, matter of extinguishing the smoul-
dering ruins and this work was not
completed until nearly noon.

At about 7 o‘clock as William
Buchia. Louis l')'0rio and George
Williamson approached the rear of
the building with a line of bone. a
large brick chimney swayed and
fell to the grbund front the top of
tho. building. It carried part of the
fire escape with .it and the. bricks
iandt-d air about thc. three. firemen.

(‘hief ls Stunned.

As Chief George's. Bogardus was
directing his men in the midst of the
fire. ll long pike pole in the hands of
one of the firemen swung around
and struck him on the left side of

o the head stunning him for an instant.

but he managed to retain his feet
and kept from falling into the
flames which were below him.

Deputy Fire Chief Caries A. \loik
come out of the front of the build-
ing just as a large piece of tin fell
from the roof. He stepped back but
port of the tin struck the brim of his
hat cutting it. off.

Many other narrow escapes by the
firemen escaped unnoticed during the
tire.

Tyrrell ls Hero.

The hero of the fire was probably
Arthur 'l‘yrrell. n roomer at the City
Hotel. who saved a number of the
roomers there. from being overcome
by smoke.

Tyrrell was awakened from a.
sound sleep by the smoke as it rolled
through the corridors of the build-
ing in large volumes. Getting out
of his‘bed be dressed and opened
the door of his room and was swept
back with ,the smoke.

He then dashed into the hall way
and shouted that the building was
on fire. He went to every room on
each of the. four floors of the hotel
and knocked on the doors wakcning
the sleepers.

Some of them did not wait fully
to dress but fought their way down
through the smoke and out into the
street. One man.‘ thinking that the
hotel was a mass of flames. dashed
out into the street without any
clothes on. He was told that it was
safe to go back into his room and
he returned and dressed.

The fire did not work its way into
the hotel. which is conducted by
Miss Mary Troy. The roof adjoin-
ing the Mcrc‘antile building caught
on fire several times in the front
and rear. but was quickly extin-
guished by the firemen. Large
holes were burned in the roof of
the hotel at the southeast and
southwest corners.

Considerable water went through
from the burning building into the
hotel and did damage amounting to
a considerable sum.

Boarders in the hotel went back
into the building and carried a con-
siderable amount of the furnishings
out onto the sidewalk. thinking that
this-building was doomed.

Waldner's store. the South Nor-
walk Meat Market and the Sanitary
Barber Shop. which were on the
first floor of the City hotel build-
ing, suffered a. considerable amount
of damage from water and smoke.
The entire stock in the Waldner
store. which was made up of ladies'
wearing apparel, was damaged con-
slderably.

Joseph Moeller. who conducts an
electrical shop in the basement of
the building. arrived on the scene
shortly after the fire started and
ran into the building and awoke
Mrs. William Curtis and her son.
Harold Glands. who were asleep in
their apartment on the second
floor. He also awakened Khoren
Torlgian. who was asleep in an ad-
jolning apartment. The apartment
of Adam Stelnwald was not occu-
pied. Mr. Steinwald having moved
to his summer home at Harbor
View.

Offices Wiped Out.

 

All of the offices on the second

 

 

 

 
 

 

floor of the building w e «donut;

wiped out.

Only the files were saved in the
offices of William F. Hoyt a Son.
realtors. These were constructed of
steel and were not damaged. Some
of the important papers were taken
out of the office shortly after the
fire had started by Mr. Hoyt him-
self. They have made arrangements
to open new offices tomorrow morn-
ing in the Temko building in North
Main street. so that their business
will not be hailed as a result of the
file.

The offices of Attorney A. b.8111.
vatsky “'th gutted. All of the legal
doeuments were saved. as they had
been placed in a large safe by Mr.
Sluvaislty before leaving his office
on last Friday night.

The Harper Beauty Parlors. the
offices of Sarah Lane. insurance and
real estate. and Dr. S. J. Glattsen
were burned out.

M. H. Managinn's Picture Studio
was right in the path of the blaze
and his equipment, which was of
considerable value. was all destroyed.
Mr. Manuglan was not. in the city
this morning‘havlng left last even~~
ing with theolocal National Guard
for Tobyhannn. Pa.

The stock in all tho stores on the
first floor of the building was almost
a complete loss. The stores were oc-
cupied by Samuel Alexander. furni-
ture dealer: the .Mark-Off Shoe.
Bovi Pharmacy, Sally's Shop. Sko-
ules Hrothers' Fruit Store. and the
office of the Postal '" icgraph Com-
pany.

Pictures Worth so. (lilo Go.

Jnmts llonnelly had a. store room
on the second floor of the building
and on Saturday had brought some
valuable oil paintings there expect-
ing to frame them for a Westport
artist. The, pictures were destroyed
in the blaze and were. valued at
nearly $5.000.

Mayor Thomas Robins was on
the scene bright and early and after

the blaze had been extinguished in-
spected the walls of the. building
and ordered Qhe firemen to pull

over several imitation chimneys that
were in a. dangerous condition and
which be thought might fall at any
time.

Wail Strays.

Ropes were placed around them
at 11:20 o‘clock and they were pull-
cd over into the ruins of the build-
ing. As they fell. the entire brick
wall on the front of the- building
swayed and it was thought for a
time that this would topple over
also.

Four 0 mid chimneys. standing
on the rear of the building. were
knocked over with a strong stream
of water.

The front wall of the building
and the wall seperating it from the
Clifford block seems to be in an un-
safe condition and will be ordered
taken down by the Mayor.

Street Roped.

South Main street in front of the
building was roped off 'soon after
the fire started and will remain
that way because of the unsafe con.
dition of the building.

'l‘rolley ”cars during the fire were
run around Railroad avenue and
Superintcndent Maitl.ean of the
Connecticut. Company said that the
cars were all run on schedule.

Extra. policemen were rushed
the scene tokeen order.
John Reynolds. Frank St tton.
Henry Webb, John Toothili. John
Smith. John Roberts and Charles
Thorpe were on duty there at var-
ious times.

At 10:20 o'clock a large beam that
had been hanging suspended in the
air in, the attic of the old builling
gave way and crashed down into
the ruins making a considerable
amount of noise. but doing no dam.
age. l‘iremon who were at work
on this floor at the time were un-
harmed.

Judge John Keogh and Robert
Josoloff .the owners of the build-
ing. praised the work of the fire-
men. They ordered sandwiches and
coffee served to the men.

An Old Landmark.

The building is one of the land-
marks of the City having been con-
structed many years ago. It was
used for many years as a theatre
and was known as Music Hall build-
mg.

About three years ago ribs theatre
and hall was low out by the own-
ers and the second floor trails over
into emcee. An entire new front
was placed on the ground floor and
many new stores were made and .1
new entrance constructed.

The entrance to the City Hotel in
the adjoining building was also
changed and the same type of front
put on both buildings. making it ap-
pear as one deing.

Mr.-Joseloff stated this morning
that he had been informed by How—
ard Finch. a member of the paid
fire department who was on the
scene shortly after the fire started
that the blaze had started in the
attic.

This being the case. Mr. Joseloff
was of the opinion that it was caus-
ed by, spontaneous combustion
among some old material that was
stored in the attic of the building
and which wanformerly used in the
old Hoyt theatre in Washington
street. He made this statement
after an examination of the ruins.
The property stored there was
owned by Andrew J. Collins.

The loss was almost entirely cov-
ered by insurance in the case of the
owners of the building and also for
the tenants.‘wlth the exception of
Mrs. Cums. who stated that she had
no insurance. A small amount of

Patriotic Exercises, Children’s Parade, Reading
Of Declaration of Independence and SOcial
Act1v1t1es Feature Holiday at Harbor View

 

o
On Fourth of July Harbor View

successful holiday ever participeted

in. All the interest and enthusiasm
of the residents and their guests
manifested itself ins the great

crowds which gathered in the pa-
rade and It the exercises at the
club. The. celebrations which were
planned culminated with an even
greater success titan the expectancy
of the promoters.

The parade started at about 9:30
o‘clock at the residence of Frank
Woods of Greenwood piece. It was
led by a fife and drum corp. com-

posed of David Page. William
Woods. Claude Munsell and C. D.
Stcurcr. Jr. The excellent music of—

tordmi by this group won the ap-
plause of all and also added much
to the vlvldncss of the scene. The
marshals were Wilfred Cousens and
Hermin Knhrs.

Many children in varied colored
costumes were another feature. and
they were accompanied by a. score
of dogs. The parade wound pic-
turesquely in and out of the differ-
ent streets. presenting an unusual
sight. The parade wound tip at the
club house where it was awaited by
about 150 of this older members of
the beach on the porch.

The club house itself was beauti-
fully decoratcd with flags. bunting
and other decorations suitable for
the occasion. The exercises here
were intensely patriotic. At a. given
signal. the flag was raised and the
allegiance pledged. led by C. D.
Steurer Jr.. Herbert McGregor and
Louis But. 13. At various intervals
the cannon was shot off by the
small children. amid the singing of
the “Star Spangled Banner."

Mr. Theodore Henry. President of
the Harbor View Beach Camber, ad-
dressed the audience and introduced
Mrs. Sturges Dunhem who read the
poem. “Hats Off. —The l‘ lag ls Pass-
ins.‘ The poem was read splendid-
ly and in a manner which truly
thrilled the listeners. Mrs. Dunham
has played a prominent part in the
D. A. R. work. Her part in the pro-
gram was greatly appreciated and
applauded by all. Mrs. Herbert
McGt-egor. who was chairlady of
the affair then spoke a few \ 1rds.
She was followed by Mr. George
Hyde. who read the Declaration of
lndckndence. Great credit is due
Mr. Hyde for the splendid way in
which he read the Declaration. de-
spite the age of seventy-one, his
voice carried to all assembled and
roused enthusiasm and respect.

The more solemn exercises were
ended by a beautiful prayer read
by Wilfred Consens. Everyone
joined in singing patriotic songs
while the parsdcrs again took up
lIlt"ll‘ march back to Cockenoe ave-
title More horns were distributed
to the boys and balloons were giv-
en to. the girls. These were furnish-
cd ihl‘Olllh the kindness of Mrs.
Herbert McGregor. Tommy Tollin-
dor was dressed to represent. Uncle
Sam. Betty Smith was daintily
dressed as "Betsy Ross."

After the children received their
gifts. great. noise and hubbub

reigned. together with the applause .

of those who had witnessed‘it. and
the parade disbanded. Great credit
is due to Mrs. Frank Woods. Mrs.
Wilfred Couscns and Mrs. Herbert
McGregor. and other members of
the beach for their earnest efforts
to make this celebration a. success.
and they were amply repaid by the
patriotic ,way in which it was car-
ried off.

Twenty-one guns had been fired
intermittently during the reading at
the club-house. Members of the
beach were very pleased to have
David Page take part in the activi-
ties. Mr. Page is president of the
New York Curb Exchange. He aid-

ed in the parade by playing the
snare drum.
Residents and their guests had

been urged to bring their fireworks
to the club house and set them off
there for the benefit of all. The

 

or and stored in the basement was
not insured.

Mr. Alexander said this morning
that his stock was not. all covered
by insurance and that he would lose
about $15,000. He estimated his total
loss at about 820.000. _

The insurance is carried by vari-
ous local agencies. Thomas F.
Canty and company carried 880. 000
on the Mercantile Building and Toy-
lor and Golden $56,000 on the City
Hotel Building. Other agencies who
carry some of the insurance are
James O'Brien. the Lawrence Agen-
cy. J. M. Layton and company. Wil-
Ham 1" Han and Sons and Sarah
Lane.

Messrs. Keogh and Joseloff stated
this morning after the fire that they
had made no plans for the future.
A meeting of the tenants of the
building was held at noon today in
the offices of Keogh d: Cendee. at
which time plans were discussed for
the future.

There was a slight amount of dam-
age to the Savoiu. Restaurant and

Madame Jeennette' a Shop in the
Clifford building. The Clifford Bowl-
ing Alleys also were damaged to

 

some extent.

At first he felt resentment for the
two who had left him. Had they for.

fear. Had they gone down in the

life. New and again he believed he
heard the sound of engines in close
proximity or human voices. Then he
shouted till exhausted only to realize
than these sounds were fitment: of
his tortuncd imagination.

At sun-rise after the borrowing
night. he admits he really didn't care
whether he lived or died. liis chief
concern theft was for his mother
with whom he lives at .‘4 Webster
st1eet.lle knew how she must be
worrying.

With daylight came a dense fog
which blanketed the water and all
objects on it at. a. distance of not
more than two or fifteen feet from
the bout.

More dreary hours drugged along.
The sun rose higher and higher and
slowly the fog began to dissipate.

Has that an illusion on the hori-
zon or really a tugboat? Gradually
the clear outlines of a tugboat with
four barges in tow could be seen.

Schenk with his last remaining
strength shoutrd and signalled.

"Need help " came the call over
the water.

"'Need it'.‘ Sure! Engine down.
been here all night."
I“i\'e initiates later Schenk was

abroad the tug “Sachem" of the N.
Y. N. H. 6; H. railroad and was en-
joying the human companionship
of Capt. Tucker of Hartford. mast-
er.

This was at 11:15 o'CIOCIf yester-
day moming.

“When .119 you bound for," ask-
ed the captain.

"Norwalk and you?"

"Perth Amboy."

“Well I'll be glad to go there or
anywhere that is dry land."

“Not necessary": said the captain.
“I'll drop you off at the Roton Point
light and the keepers will tow you
in."

By this time the broken
power boat was secured
the tug and

down
alongside
the course west was

resumed.
Schenk says hc will never forget
the kindness of Capt. Tucker.

Everything was done to make him
comfortable and he was well fed.

Several hours later the light
house have into view. The keepers
were signalled and assistant keeper
Elbridge made for the tug. He
was ready to help and the disabled
power craft was again taken in tow
with Schenk in the lighthouse man's
boat. More food and dry clothing
were provided at the lighthouse
and a little after three o'clock
Schenk docked at the door of the
home of Wendell P. Milllgan of
ltowayton. treasurer of the Sentinel
Publishing Co. Here Schenk was
welcomed like a. long lost brother.

His mother was immediately noti-
fied of his safe return.

Schenk's first question was as to
the safety of Westberg and White.
He was told that they had made
Port Jefferson at 7 o'clock the night
before and‘immediately set out in a
power boat to rescue him. They
could find no trace of him or the

was as great as his for theirs.

White was reached on the elephone
and told of Schenk‘s return. West-
berg reached his East Norwalk home
late last night, coming back with a
team of local ball players who*had
had a. game in the afternoon on the
Long Island side.

Westberg also had a tale to tell.
