Chelsea Bank Wall, ‘While an effort was being made to get down a portion of the wall of the Shannon building near the street which extended above the Chelsea bank building the center of the wall gave way and fell into the ruins with a crash about 8.20 Wednesday after- noon. There are other portions which will come down and the back part of the wall is probably held only by the three vaults which were in the Shan- non bullding and which are believed to_be all right. The Chelsea bank building on the two upper floors is now entirely open on top and the north side, while a quantity of the brick fell into the Chelsea banking rooms. This will mean the reconstruction of the entire bank bullding in el _probability, thought Treasurer C. B. Chapman, or at least above the second floor, but this can be determined only by an ex- amination of the front wall, which will be made very soon. The bank will lose about $30,000 by the fire and 1t fs well insured. 'Work was started clearing up the buflding in the morning, but there 48 now much more to do. Called to Ruins This Morning. The firemen were called there in the afternoon because of the fire breaking out again. It was soon after the fire- men had left that the wall fell. After midnight this morning it was neces- sary to put a stream on to the fire. The debris under the north wall of the Chelsea building, which has been smoking since the fire, broke Into a blaze and burned briskly. Will Clear Up Site Today. J. B. Shannon on Wednesday award- ed the contract for clearing up the debris to A, D. Lathrop and the work of getting the brick, steel columns and stone away will be started today. This will be rushed along as fast as possi- ble. Plans for the new five story rein- forced concrete building will be made by Architect Preston at once. The ground floor will be for store purposes, with offices on the second and third floors, and because of its being fire- proof the fourth and fifth floors will be arranged for apartments. It is proo- able that there will be but one store on the main floor. Mr. Shannon states that there are two parties at least who desire it entire, but no lease has been given as yet. The Hughes company and a New London party are said to be the ones. M. Hughes stated that there was nothing | certain about thelr wanting the entire floor, it being necessary first to know how it will be arranged. There will be two entrances to the new building, one on Main street, where the stairway was to the cellar, and the other on Shetucket street, where the old entrance was. There wil] be but one elevator, and that will be located where the old one was. The Main street stairway will be but one flight. hallways connecting them, and the Shetucket street stairway. or the elevator, to be used to reach the other floors. The cellar entrance will be near the Sheutcket street stairway and from the inside. A coal chute will be comstructed near the Main street entrance. No One Jumped Upon Wires. Those who were at the fire and as- sisted in the rescue of the people in the building state that there was no one who jumped from any window up- on wires and there was no one res- cued from any pole. All who were taken out were taken from windows. The Greek who lived in the building on the fourth floor was taken from the ‘window of his room on the fourth floor. He @id not jump anywhere but went down the ladder of the aerial truck. His room was one window to the south on the floor above Mrs. "d Greek was taken out first on the She- tucket street side and the ladder drop- ped then to Mrs. Miner's window, and her position was considered by Chiet Stanton the most perilous. She had the closest call, but was not burned or injured in any way. nor was the man taken from the fourth floor. Mrs. Miner was put out of the window by Chief Stanton and assisted down the ladder by Henry Taft and after that he thought he some of her valuables, out, but it was Reld & | Insurance-~Wall of Chelsea The flames were coming through the partition of her room and he beat a hasty retreat. This was about 2.40, and those who were taken from the Main street side had been out some minutes before, Professor Loweth having the help of David Fitzgerald, John Kane, Myron Morgan, Dennis J. Twomey and John Lynch, Miss M, C. Adles, who had a suite of three rooms on the second floor, tried to dress, but the smoke became 80 dense, that she hurried to open her door and tried to make her way to ‘he stairway, but was beaten back. She beat out a window and called for help. A ladder was raised and she was re: cued by Fireman Lynch, assisted by Policeman Kane and others, and was taken to the Wauregan. Policeman Kane and the firemen succeeded In getting out a little clot ing and a few other articles. Her loss includes a plano, furniture, stock, electrical equipment, watch, diamond ring, and nearly $100 in money. Where Fire Caught. Chlef Stanton belleves that the fire strated in the room where the janitor keeps his belongings, next to ihe air shaft, to which thers was access. This n the second floor under the stair way, and the flames at once shot up the air shaft next to it and through the roof, the fire first breaking out in the fourth and fifth floors, and gradu- ally crept down story by story, the front of the bullding in which were the stores of Stelner and Lewis, being the last to burn, while the offices on the second floor at the east corner | were to last to catch on that oor. Plenty of Water. There was all the water the fire de- rartment wanted, and 500 hydrants under 80 pounds pressure wouldn't have done any better. If thers has | been six or eight engines to put the water under 140 pounds pressure, then something towards saving the Shannon building could have been done. but, | as it was, the attention hed to be glven the adjoining property, Noz- zles of an Inch and a half were used. The big stream which threw water up- on the Wauregan house included two streams from the steamer and one from a hydrant. Other streams were sfamesed from hydrants, but would not reach where the steamer stream did. The bursting of the six-inch pipe in the cellar took away the equal of { twelve one-inch streams and it was | also found that an inch and a half | pive in the cellar of the Plaut-Cadden building had also burst. Their shut- ting off brought back the pressure. Among many of the suggestions made was by one citizen who sug- gested putting a steamer on Laure] hill bridge and dropping a line of hose to draw the water through into the river. An effort was made on Wednesday to open the safe of the Falls company, but it eould not be done, Mr. Hughes stated on Wednesday that the vaults of the Shannon build- ing could not be opened until Friday. It is expected that they have with- stood the heat and that the valuable paperg and inventory there will be found all right, Strangers Compliment Work. There were many strangers here on Wednesday and looked over the ruins. Those who had a right to express an | opinion in comparison with othr large fires in other cities and the work done there, safd that it hardly possi- ble to imagine how the department had done so well with the three en- gines of the type here. It would have required a dozen or more in big clt- ies. There were many complimentary expressions regarding the efficfency of the department. Dr. Louise Miner lost many valuable curios and other things collected in travels abroad. She eaved hardly any- thing. By the mfddle of the month she expects to open her office in the Ken- yon building, As the leases of the tenants.expire with the fire, they are seeking loca- tions in other places about the city. The portion of Shetucket street op- rosite Chuisea bank building was closed on Wednesday afternoon after the wall fell, as there was danger of the front wall fuiling. This blocked the Laurel Hill line, The police did excellent work in keeping the crowds back, many super- numeraries being put to work. The new Shannon bullding and the new bulldings of the Chelsea Savings {bank and Plaut-Cadden Co. will mean three new structures as the result of the fire. To shut off the large gas main enter- ing the building an employe of the gas department jumped into the cellar | neck deep in water and did the trick. He was then hustled home and into dry elothes. Tenants Change. Tenants of the Shannon bullding and others affected by the fire have been | hustling in the last day or two to find other business locations. The offices of the Attawaugan and Totokett Mill: company are temporarily occupying desk room in the Board of Trade rooms but will move to the third floor of the ‘Thames bank building as soon as pos- sible. Dr. F. J. Harper has found ac- commodations with Dentist Kinkead in the Geer bullding or Broadway. News- dealer F. C. Lewls is temporarily lo- |cated with B. C, Hannls on Main street. William F. Hll has taken temporary quarters with the New Eng- land Mutual Fire Insurance company on Shetucket street. Dr. George R. Harris has gone in with his uncle, Dr. ©. F. Harris, In the Shields building on Broadway. The United States Den- tal company has secured quarters in the Bill block. The Metropolitan Life Insurance company has taken a suite of rooms_on the second floor of the Thames Loan and Trust company building, and B. P. Learned & com- room in the basement of building. Money from the Ruins. The morning after the fire News- dealer C. F. Lewis saved from the ruins of his store, on the Main street front of the Shannon bullding, a wal- let containing $8 in old bills, which he had been saving as souvenirs, and a leather handbag:belonging to Mrs. Ada ‘Wallace, and containing $8, was also found uninjured, except for water. The wallet had been left in a drawer and the packetbook was in show case, which had not been reached by the fire. Birthday Anniversary.
