*HUSBAND TRACES LOST WIFE HERE Niagara Falls Man Finds His Spouse Living With Apother Man on » Curtis Street. Trailing his deserting wife from city to city after she left him and their three years old child in Niagara Falls, N. Y., Augustus Carlini finally located her in this city at 196 Curtis street, where, it is alleged, she was living with her affinity, John Dante Can- trone. Only the irate husband’s en- thusiasm for his own detective ability wirevented an arrest of both man and woman. The husband burst in on his wife and her affinity with many dire threats. Cantrone took fright and fied. Before Officer Thomas Storey could be notified the man had dis- appeared. The unfaithful wife was arrested but could not be prosecuted in weourt this morning inasmuch as it is recessary to have both parties to the crime in order to secure a conviction for cohabitation. Although the woman deserted her husband almost a month ago, this morning she professed to have deep iove for him. She was very penitent and begged to be taken back to Nia- gara, She said she did not know why she left her husband, she must have been hyptonized. After some Xeliberation, Augustus consented to take his wife back home. WOMAN HYSTERICAL ON FINDING FIRE Mrs. Walter P. Occupin of 60 Gris- " wold St. Is Badly Frightened— Fire Damage Slight, Terrified by the sudden burst of flames which greeted her and scorched her hair as she opened a closet door in her home at 4:30 o’clock yesterday >qternoon, Mrs. Walter P. Occupin of 60 Griswold street went into hysterics and it was almost an hour before she recovered from her fright. The fire was a minor one, the closet and one room being burned, the damage being only about $200. Mrs. Occupin does not know what caused the fire. She says she noticed smoke coming from the closet in which is located the gas meter and cpened the door to investigate. A sbeet of flames burst forth. An alarm was sounded from box 118 but when the firemen arrived the flames had burned through into an adjoining bed room. REID MUST SERVE LONG JAIL TERM East Main Street Man Sentenced to Six Months and Ten Days By Superior Court Judge. Instead of having to pay a fine of $150 and costs, such as was im- posed on him in the Berlin town court recently, John A. Reid of 85 East Main street, will have to serve six months and then an additional ten days in the Hartford county jail, ac- cording to the sentence imposed by Judge Gardiner Greene yesterday afternoon. In the Berlin court Reid was found guilty of reckless driving and of driv- ing an automobile while intoxicated. He appealed from the decision but it availed him nothing. He went to trial before a jury yesterday and was found guilty on both counts, Reid formeriy operated a livery au- tomobile in this city and on Novem- ber 24 he started for Meriden with three pasengers. Early that evening Reid coilided with a car driven by H. L. Schor of Middletown, the accident occuring on Farmington road, Berlin. He was arrestéd on complaint of Mr. Schor. In court yesterday Mr. Gibney said that he saw Reid under the influence of liquor and detected the odor of it in 'his breath. Mr. Schor also claimed to have seen signs of intoxication and said Reid was staggering. Constable ‘Willlam Ritchie gave similar testi- mony. Reid denied touching liquor at all that day and blamed Schor for the accident. The three passengers, L. J. Marsh, Charles Fusari and Arthur Schultz, gave corroborative testimony. Judge Green imposed the ten days’ sentence for reckless driving and the six months term on the intoxication charge. DISGRUNTLED MAN MAKES COMPLAINT But His Oriticism of the Fire De- partment Is Found to Be Ungrounded. When Chairman E. B. Alling of the safety board arrived at the scene of the fire on Griswold street yesterday afternoon he was met by C. J. Carl- son, who at once lodged a complaint agginst the fire department. He in- formed the chairman that the service is bad, that the department is in- efficient and that it was fifteen minutes from the time he telephoned to No. 2 station informing them of It is said that the fire alarm system went wrong and at the different houses various numbers were re- corded. The alarm was sounded by a little girl who had been instructed in the method through the talks given at the public schools by Chairman E. B. Alling of the safety board.

Parker of hcoln street had threatened to use un on him, a collector. for the Cau- A4 Brothers' company in Hartford ght out Lawyer J. G. Woods late erdldy and had a writ of replevin de out- The writ was served by stable Duffy, who took away a the fire before the apparatus arrived. Mr. Alling immediately conducted an investigation and found that the charges made by Mr. Carlson are groundless. Enlisting the service of | the telephone company Mr. Alling | found that the telephone call sent in by Mr. Carlson was received just fifty seconds ahead of the bell alarm. Further investigation showed that the apparatus arrived at the scene of the fire before the mechanism of the fire alarm had ceased revolving, and it tokes only three minutes for this to stop. Chairman Alling states that he frequently receives complaints from disgruntled citizens concerning the fire and police departments, but in most cases finds them greatly exag- gerated. Frequently an excited per- son calls the fire department and tells them that “my house is on fire, hurry,” or that the “house across the street is on fire,” etc. Some little time must perforce elapse before the man at the ’phone can make the other party realize that the street and number must be given. Chief Dame states that every time a fireman makes a little mistake it is greatly exaggerated and the news is distributed about the city, to the detriment of the department. On the cther hand when good work is done it passes unnoticed. SCOUTS SHOW POWERS. Following Supper at South Church Troop Eight Performs.

BELIEVED PRIGES OF ORE WILL ADVANCE Transactions in Lake Superior Iron Ore on Verge of Closing | erday said: | The Iron Age y Transactions in Lake Superior iron ore are on the verge of closing which it is believed will establish a price of $4.25 for Mesaba Bessemer and $3.55 | for Messaba non-Bessemer ore, an ad- vance of eighty cents for the former and seventy cents for the latter upon the prices of this year. Old-range ores, accordiig to present indications, will sell at an advance of about sev- enty-five cents over the 1915 sched- ule instead of $1, as favored by some producers. As demand is expected for all the ore that can be got down in 1916 it is not improbable that sales later in the season will represent an advance over opening prices. Disturbing Factors. The inability of some ore shippers to make season vessel charters for | next year is a disturbing factor. Al number of vessels have been bought outright and more orders for new | boats would be placed, but deliveries cannot be had for 1916 trade. Vessel owners are now holding for more than the ten cent advance paid by the | Steel Corporation and the taking of 10,000,000 tons in outside charters by the latter has created a tense situa- tion. The difficulty of forcing pig-iron production above the present rate ap- pears in the statistics for November. At 3,037,308 tons for last month, the output was 101,244 tons a day, against 3,125,491 in October or 100,822 tons a day. The steel company furnaces could not keep up the pace they made in the October strain for high records. Some of them may be expected to go out soon for relining, as the hard driving of many months is telling. 103,033 Tons a Day. One Dec. 1 the capacity of the 284 active blast furnaces was 103,033 tons | a day, against 101,819 tons a day for | 276 furnaces on Nov. 1, this last rate being based on the unusual outputs of October. Production is now at the rate of 38,000,000 tons a year, al- lowing 400,000 tons for charcoal pig iron. Pig-iron markets in the Central Western and Chicago districts are showing little restraint in their ad- Norfolk & West . RICHTER & CO. MEMBERS NEW YORK STOCK EX CHANGE, Represented by E. W. Eddy.

In steel-making iron advances are | readily made, Bessemer iron having sold at §18.50 and $19 at furnace, while basic has brought as high as $18. For export $20 has been offered for Bessemer. The congestion of export shipments of steel adds to the troubles of home consumers. While mills are able to concentrate upon the relief of the domestic situation, the scarcity of cars is an increasing handicap. The offering of premiums of $3 o $8 a ton for billets, rods and some forms of finished material, particular- ly plates, brings out but little. Plate advances stand out, some mills hav- ing secured 2.25 cents and 2.30 centa., Pittsburg, on early deliveries. ‘ | Service is the keynote o mercial effort—the watchwo f the present day com- rd of progress—the first essentionl to a Bank’s success.
