The roof of the residence of A. H. Dresser on West Main street started to burn but the firemen extinguished it before it had caused any material damage. The sparks also started a blazé at Nick Belleni’s house and communicated to the Osborne and Stephenson factory, neither of which were damaged as a result of the skill and ehergy dis< played by the firemen. Edward T- Carter’s brass foundry, which is lo- cated on North Washington street, directly opposite the Hills’ plant, was in grave danger for a long time and on several occasions it appeared to be doomed. Although - streams ot Wwater were played on the Carter shop, literally drenching it, the intenseness of the heat from the burning struc- ture on the opposite side of ‘' the street, blistered the walls and cracked the windows. The plant was saved, however, and was not greatly dam- aged. [ ‘Wooden bulldings on the Hills’ property, used as storerooms, and the brick offict bullding in the vicinity, were seriously t]n'ea.tennd but they too ware saved. New Britain Would Help, Five streams were directed on the burning building but they had little effect, the water seemingly acting as fuel for the roaring flames. The fire raged so furiously at one time that the New Britain fire depart- mfent was asked to hold itself in readi- ness to render assistance should the Plainvile company find itself unable to cope with the conflagration. The efficlals 'in that city agreed to send its men here should their services be required. Tons of water were poured on the burning building but the fire did its wark ‘so thoroughly that the charred wood and the wreckage of the ma- chinery was about all that rémained this morning. The success of the firemen in saving other property was remarkable and Chief Norton and his brigade were the recipients of many compliments today. But for their skill and tireless ‘energy the 'entire section would probably have been wiped out and the loss made stagger- ing in its proportions.

According to the latest news reach- ing Paris the Germans are bombard- Ing the lost trenches furiously, coun-{ ter attack after counter attack having been delivered far into the night.
