:4 * owo FIRES: ‘
Both Occur at South Norwalk
on Saturday Night.
1
One at a Store and the Other at a Barni
South NOrwalk was the scene of two
fires Saturday night both Of them wide-
ly separated, one'being on Roton Hill
and the other on Raymond street.
The first occurred at the store of B.
Harris on Raymond street, at about 6
o’clock, and was caused by the break-
ing of a wire from which was suspend-
ed a hanging lamp in the center of the
store. The lamp crashed to the floor
in pieces and a flame that threatened
to burnthe building was started. An
alarm was sent in from box 4, to which
the department responded, but in the
meantime the fire had been extin-
guished by Mr. Harris. and his clerk
with the aid of an ulster overcoat and
a few meal-bags. ‘
The second fire "was in l. barn on
Maple avenue at Brookside, and rented
by A. Glassholf who has a bakery near
by, and was first discovered at about 8
O’clock. The barn is out of‘ the fire
limits. '
All elforts to save it were unavailing
and together with its contents was
burned to the Glassholf
claims a loss of $700 on the contents of
the barn including. the hay. He had
an insurance with Taylor & Golden for
$150 and with J. M. LaytOn for $150.
It is thought to have been the work
of an incendiary.
ground.
JOHN’S LUCKY ESCAPE.
“lack” Bedient of Weston Drives in Front
of an Electric Car.
Saturday evening about 8 o’clock,
John Bedient started to drive to his
home in a two-wheeled gig. It was
noticed that John was not in the best
of condition to guide a horse, and a
young man accompanied him to the top
of Mill Hill where he left him.
John and his horse proceeded on his
way until when in front of the Belden
residence there was a crash and John
and his gig were dumped into the
street.
He had been struck by trolley car
NO. 25 of the Street Railway line.
The car was in charge of Motorman
Walter Smith and Conductor Parking-
ton and fortunately for the lifé of John
was coming at a slow rate of speed.
John, all oblivious to the attendant
danger swung his team directly in
front of the car, and although Motor-
man Smith applied the reverse he
could not avert the collision.
John escaped serious injury but his
gig received a broken crossbar and the
loss of a spoke to one of the wheels.
The accident caused a breaking of
the current at the electric supply sta-
tion and consequently considerable de-
lay tO the progress of the car.

A Local Occurrence That
Will Interest Many
Readers.
If when a foghorn warns the mariner
to shear Ofi the coast, he still hugs the
shore and wrecks upon it, whose fault ,
the engine driver deliberately pulls
ahead and ,pitches into another train,
blame the driver. It a careless work-
man will, in spite of warnings, try to
find out how many teeth abuzz‘saw has,
and the saw tries to find out how many
fingers the workman has, blame the
workman—not the saw. If a sick man
knows that a certain medicine is doing
him good, and he carelessly neglects to
use it, blame the man not the medicine.
If Norwalk people who have kidney
complaint and backache will not take
Doan’s Kidney Pills, when they are
endorsed by scores of citizens, blame
the peolfle, not the endorsers.
Mrs. Joseph Whitley of 61 Belden
avenue says: “I was reading the pa-
pers one evening. and came across an
advertisement of Doan’s Kidney Pills,
and- at that time I was annoyed with a
pain in the small of my back and was
thinking of trying some preparations
to see if I could get relief. Doan’s
Kidney Pills seemed to me to be above
the average judging from the cures
they had made, and I got a box at
Glendening’s drug store and took
them. They produced decided and
satisfactory results. I recommend
them to my friends.
Doan’s Kidney Pills are for sale by
all dealers, price 50 cents per box, six
boxes for $2.50. By mail on receipt of
price by Foster—Milburn 00., Buffalo,
N. Y., sole agents for the U. S. Re-
