The double truck car was moved far enough from the building so that it was only slightly damaged, how- ever. The cars burned were as fol- lows: Three open passenger cars, five closed passenger cars, one sweeper, four plows, one line car, one stone car and one flat car. The loss includeaq, | therefore, all the compan apparatus used in clearing the tracks of snpw. Eight families in the four-story tenement block owned by Mrs, Cecelia Yale at 135 Pratt ctreet, which is within a few feet of the trolley shed and four other families, in two small houses at the rear of the block were | forced to leave their homes as a mat- | ter of safety. Sergeant Kurcon and Patrolman Kelley ran into the tene- ments and ordered all of the occu-| pants into the street. Two women be- came hysterical and had to be assist- «d outside where they were revived quickly. Saturday’s Receipts Saved. When the flames had been subdued, a safe containing the Saturday re- ceipts was recovered from the ruins of the men's room at the rear of the office building, with no damage to the | contents, which amounted to about $2,000 or $3,000. To assure safety to the firemen and others at the scene of the fire, Super- | intendent Robert P. Lee orderd his linemen to make cuts in the power line at either end of the barns. While the work was being done the city service | was held up for a few minutes but| otherwise the operation of cars was not interfered with, Service on the Middletown line was kept up by trans- ferring passengers to local cars run between Stone street and the railroad station. Total Assets Nearby Tenements Saved. As the firemen reached the barns the fire was bursting through the front doors of the, sheds close to the jarge tenement house. Chief Dono- van placed several lines of water| against this point, to drive the flames| i back, at the same time sending other squads of men to the southern end of the property to hold the fire from spreading to the houses at the end of the Miller street lane. Seven streams were thrown m'n the fire from Pratt street hydrants and two others from Miller street. Sparks from the barns and from the San-| toro house landed on the roofs of the| two houses adjoining, but well lnrvctnd‘ gtreams of water saved them. Mr. and Mrs. Santoro were eating breakfast when the fire suddenly en- veloped their home. They were forced to leave at once and saved practically none of their furniture. Se il chickens in a coop in the yard w purned. The Santoyos and the resi- dents of the house next to theirs were | taken in temporarily by Mise Mulli-| gan.
