That the fire_ of Friday morning was not of larger proportion is due to the efficient work of the firemen under Chief Stan- have it spread bevond the Reynolds stable and a carriage shed of the Am- erican hous. stable, was no cesy task. Thera were 13 streams.of water play- ing upon the fire and about 10,000 feet of hose were laid-to get the best re- sults. That the fire was kept from cross- ing Little Water street was decidedly fortuniate, and in appreciation of the fact that it did not get into _their building across that street, S.

The fire erept down, floor by floor, in the Lucas block, and burned fiercely. in the Troy laundry, where the largest business of ithe week was, and the greater part is gone. . The falling of the floors above brought the mass of gre into the laundry, where it had not burned ftself out Friday night, a line of hase having been stretched and | left there for use during the day and | night. It was reguired snveral times. Here e brolen compressed air pipe caused a terrific noeise until shut and at th: scme time representatives of the gas department were scurrying around looking after their neters. At 4.48 the recall. was sent in, the \fire being under control, and it was reslized that it would spread no fur- ther. About 9 o'clock the ‘dangerous condition of lh; standing walls was | reaiized and they were pulled down, | Most of them falling within the ruins, {but by 5 o'clock the debris had been cleareq vp in the sireets. When tae were pulled over it caused a n the Smith store so strong that it blew out both plate glass win- dows.

The loss is problematical, though it is probable that it will total between 000 and $109,000, although the in- surance less may not reach bevoLrd ,000 to $§6,000. as well as the owners of the buildings carried insuranee, But not all in suffi- cient amount to cover their lose.

R. F. Smith was supplving his cus- tomers on Friday from a store in Wa- ter strect, and O. H. Reymolds is look- ing after business, having temporarily taken the Mamwaring barn on the West Side. His loss is about $3,000 on hay, sleighs, carriages and harnessss. He carried that much insurance, but hal¢ was on the horses, which wet gotien out, so that he #falds to lose about $1,500.

People Along Housatenic Who Have Lost Settings of Esgs Looking for Damages. The farmers living aleng the Housa- tonic river in the nefghborhood of the place where Blakesles & Sons are do- ing the blasting on the Shelton side. preparatory to laving the double track, have given up the idea of getting suc- cessTul returns from the eggs that they put in incubators or set under hens. It'is a well known fact that a heavy | clap of thunder at a certain period of the incubation of teh eggs will kill the unhatched chick. This has been demonstrated time and again It s believed that the concussion caused by the explosion of charges of dynamite in Dlasts has exactly the same effect. An instance was given the other day where a man at South BEnd, ltving near the place where blasts are dadly | set off, had failed to securs & si ehick from nearly 10 fertile eggs.
