Water Damage to Three s With a good start when it was dis- covered about 7.08 o'clock on Tuesday evening by Policeman Charles L. Per- 1y, & fire in the haliway of the Austin building on Main street gave the de- partment a lively fight when they re- sponded to box 16, from which the policeman turned in an alarm. The damage to the building by fire was confined to the hallway and to the blind attic and roof timbers, but there will be considerable loss by water to the stocks of the clothing store of tho F. A. Wells Co, the shoe store of the G. W. Kies Co., and the store of the Lahn Furniture Co., which occupy the street floor of the bilding and also have storerooms in it on the upper floors. There 1s also considerable damage by water to Eagles' hall, which is oh the third floor of the building. A new pool table put in less than a month ago was thoroughly soaked by water that drip- ped from the ceiling. When Policeman Perry discovered the fire it was burning in lively fash- ion at the head of stairs in the hallway and the whole interior seemed to be on fire as he looked up the stairs. He at once ran to the box at the corner of Main and Market streets and turned in the alarm. The deep snow in the streets made heavy. pulling for the apparatus, but Chemical company No. 1, whose station is right across the street from the up- per end of the Austin building, the au- tochemical, the steamer and the aerial truck from the central station all an- swered the alarm promptly, and two streams of water were led up the stairway and turned on the blaze,which had run up through the hallway and mounted to_ the roof, breaking out through a skylight and ventilator. The smoke poured out under the cornice of the building, showing where the fire had gained access to the blind attic and to the roof rafters. Under the direction of Chief Stanton a line of hose was run in from a hydrant on Church street and another around the corner of the building through Houri- gan lane. The hydrant on Main street in front of the fire station was used for two lines of hose and the one far- ther down the street near the corner of Doxology lane for one line. The steamer was posted in Water street at a hydrant in front of the long steps down from Main street and quickly got up steam, but had to thaw out the hydrant, which it found frozen. The services o fthe steamer were not needed. The prompt and effective work of the firemen kept the blaze from spreading beyond the hallway. Chief Stanton found that the fire apparently had started in much the same location as one of a year ago in January in the same building, except that it was on the other side of the hall. A number of empty packing cases are kept here and it seemed like- Iy that it had started among these. The damage to the building will be less then {hat of the fire a year ago, when the amount was something near $2,000, The stores on the main floor suffered the most from water in the rear, the water not dribping through much in the front of the stores. The rooms of the Holiness Mission, which were bad- Iy burned out in the previeus fir were damaged only by water this time. An iron door that had been put in kept the blaze from spreading on the second floor of the building as it did in the fire of Jun. 24, 1913. Policemen Morgan, Perry, Cowles, Tom Murphy, Ebberts and Fenton as- sisted in keeping the crowd back be d the fire lines that were estab- shed. Two Chimney Fires. Just.after {he recall had been rung word was received that there was a chimney fire at the home of Ephraim M. Willlams, No. 124 Maple street, and the autochemical was sent there. Part of the way the auto had to plow out its own path through the snow, but it ot there and used one of the big 40 gallon tanks In the chimney, where there was a bad fire going. The house is owned by A. L. Potter. Soon after the autochemical had left for the West Side word was telephoned to headquarters by Manager Al Craig at the Davis theatre that they needed the firemen over there to' look at a chimney fire that was sending sparks out of the chimney on the south side of the bullding. Chemical company No. 1 left the Main street fire and took care of that in the theatre chimne: The few sparks that came out occ sioned no alarm to the patrons of the house and the crowd showed their con- fidence in the precautions that are taken for their safety by continuing to file into the theatre while the fire ap- paratus stood outside ose aiready inside knew nothing about the fire, These made the alarms for the month of February this year reach a total of 20 in 17 days and the total number since July 1st of 145. 3,000 ACRES FOR STATE GAME PRESERVE Offer of East Lyme Land Made by Morton F. Plant, Morton F. Plant has offered his 3,000 acres game preserve between Bast Lyme and New London to the state for a term of years and at a meeting of the state fish and game commission at the capitol in Hartford Tuesday Mr. Plants offer was_accepted. The negotiations with Mr. Plant were con- ducted through Senator E. Hart Fenn and Col. C. L. F. Robinson. The preserve is situated In East Lyme, on the main highway between Old Lyme and New London, the | greater part of it being north of the | highway. It comprises nearly 2,000 | acres and is two miles east and west | by turee miles morth and south, ex- tending into_the towns of Oid Lyme and Lyme. Through the preserve runs the Four Mile river, one of the cele- brated trout streams of the state. The territory consists of marsh, meadow, upland and forest and is especially suitable to all kinds of game. In the woods are many ruffed grouse, and the quail are numerous in the fields. Wood- cock find favorite resting places in the lowlands and on the hillsides, and both the black and the wood-ducks have | been known to nest and raise their broods within the confines of the do- main. The preserve is well equipped | for the raising of ringneck or Engiish | pheasants and Mr. Plant has turned out thousands of these birds for the sport of himself and his friends. The | buildings and pens for these birds are all of large size and in fine condition | and are ready for the use of the fish | and game commission for propogating | By bullding a large con- | the Four Mile river Mr. Plant a large pond three-quar- ters of a mile long by two hundred | yards in width, and this can be utilized for the raising of wild ducks SETTLEMENT REACHED IN SUPERIOR COURT CASE Was Over Contract in Building Nor- wich-Colchester Trolley Line.

Strouse Spoke—Topic, What's the Matter With Jesus? Rev. George H. Strouse addressed the shop meeting held at the Cutlery, at Thamesville, Tuesday noon, under the auspices of the Y. M. C. A. The Victrola furnished the music. The speaker chose for his topic, What's the Matter With Jesus? Among some of the things he said were: Men, I think this a pertinent ques- tion, Because (1) there is no life apart from Jesus, (2) a universal de- sire for life and (3) all may have i But in view of all this the sad fact re- mains that many are going throngh life and stepping out into amother world witheut having ever come 1o Christ for the life which He alone can impar to us. A man who has money need not go begging for an_opportn- nity to give it away. Christ has a gift for us which far surpasses moncy, yet we make no rush for it. The question naturally comes up, What's the matter with Jesus? Is it His life Examine that life in the light of these centuries. If you find a flaw you hace made a creat di covery. Give it to some agnostic or infidel, have it published in some mag- azine and & good sized check wili come our way. Men have spen- far more time and with more disastrous results, Lunting for flaws in the life of Jesus, than has been spent seeking the north or south poles. Men, you can't find flaw in His life. Take your telescope or your microscope of your X-ray,. you please, and fix it on the very cen- ter of Christe being. Analyze ilis thoughts, motives, desires and ideals and _everywhere and all the time tne bz Teart of Jesus is beating with love and pity for the downtrodden and ibe lest, y Is it the influence of Jesus? A true .noble life must wield an influ- ence for good. And the influence of Jesus lifts & man on a higher plane. Na man need fear the influence cf Jesus. The world's marvelous trans- formation is_due to_the lifo and ir- fluence of Jesus Christ founded a new social order. In Christ's day on the eatrh Rome was mistress of the world. Purity was not regarded a virtue. Woman was a slave. _ Chil- aren could be murdered without a word of protest. A despot's will was law. Man lived simply for the state. Christ has penetrated the darkness of hcathenism, broken the shackles of the captives, redeemed woman from siavery and made the home the ideal of society. Men, get up close to this Almighty Christ . Take the gift He wants to give pou. This is the gift of His own language: “I am come that ye might have life and have it more abundant- Iy OTTO F.

Hens Produced Better Than a Week Ago—Cold Weather Had No Effect. Two thousand a week is the slogan in the international egg laying contest at Storrs. The mercury at the com- petition plant registered 16 degrees be- low zero, but in spite of this very low temperature the hens yielded better than Jast week by 397 eggs, or a total of 2,068 for the 15th week. The cold weather persisted throughout the week, the winds blew, snowstorms came, and even earthguakes, but in spite of this combinagion of ' uninviting circum- stances the hens seemed to be snug and comfortable in their little houses, and in consequence shelled out esss regardiess of the elements. The English Wyandottes easily won first place for the week with a Ppro- duction of 49 eggs, but there was close competition as to who should have sec- ond. A pen of Rhode Island Reds owned by Dr. J. A. Fritchey, Harris- burg, Pa, finally finished second with a yield of 40 cggs. Another pen of Reds owned by George P. Dearborn, Lake Como, Fia, were a close third with 29 eggs to their credit. The Reds of A. B. Brundage, Danbury, Conn., and the Leghorns of L. E. Sands Poul. try farm, Hawley, Pa. and the Buff Wyandottes of Dr. N. W. Sanborn, Holden, Mass, ail scored 38 eggs each, while the Buff Plymouth Rocks of A A. Hall, Danbury, Conn, and Neale Bros’ White Wyandottes from Appo- naug, R. I, followed closely with 37 eggs each for the week. Every single pen in the competition has now laid some eggs. The last pen to produce were the Siiver Campines. It is, however, scarcely fair to judge the breed by this one pen, as they ap- peared to be very immature when they came to the contest in November, o much so, in fact, that the management did not expect these birds to lay for some considerable time. The Cam- pines are a neat, trim litile fow! of the Leghorn type, and it is expected they will yet be héard from. The best daily record for the week was 307 eggs. It is interesting to note that of the total gain of 397 esgs for the week, approximately 50 per cent. or 195, can be credited to the Leg- horns.” To put this another way, the Leghorns all taken together constitute 41 per cent. of the birds in the com- petition. Last week they laid 43 per cent. of the eggs. At this writing there are four pens in each of which ten birds are laying, and there are 21 pens in each of which nine birds are laying. These 25 pens are composed of White Rocks, Buff Rocks, White Wyandottes, Rhode Island Reds, White Leghorns. and “hens.” Wouldn't these 25 pens be an excellent flock to own? They would make a flock of 250 birds, 229 of which are laying, and which actually produced last week 70 dozen eggs that at 40 cents a dozen would be worth $28. It costs a little less than $9 to feed these hens for the week. Leading Pens. The ten leading pens tb date are as tollows: Tom Barron, Catforth, Eng White Wyandottes, 5(3; Francis F.
