Cause of Fire Unknown—Hydrant in Street Found Dry. ‘A ‘small shed on the riverbank at the gas works ‘on North Main street, and near the gas tanks, was ‘destroyed by fire of unknown origin Wednesday evening. An alarm from box 24, on North' Main street, near Roath street, rung in by Policeman Matthew Dela- ney, wno saw- the reflection of the blaze on the sky about 9.30 o’'clock, called out the department. ‘Before -that, Foreman John Hartie, who was at his home in the neighbor- , had had his attention called to the smell of smoke by his wife, and had ‘run over to the works and got a hose attached to the hydrant in ' the yard. When the water was turned on the hose burst. ‘When the firemen attached hose to a hydrant on North Main street they found that the hydrant was dry and no water would, come from it. They used two streams’ from the:hydrant-in the yard and soon ®md the fire under control. - The shed had nothing in it of _any 'particular “value. : In Praise of the:American Ambulance.

She de- nied this and said that he threw things at_her. Daniels sald that he gave up his job a while ago and wanted his wife to %o to New London where he proposed to get work. She refused, sayving that she didn’t love him and that she only married him to get a home . The court ordered him to pay his wife at least $3 a week and he was put on probation until June 1st. ‘A man accused of drinkenness was fined, a woman was put on probation for the same offense and the case against a young man accused of throwing glasses in a saloon was nolled as the saloonkeeper withdrew the charge. Timothy Devine, Charles Mitterer, Frank Narasevicz and David Ryan, ac- cused of not paying their 1913 personal tax, were given a week to pay in, The continued case against a man accused of failing to register his dog was called up and Town Clerk Hol- brook proved the man had registered the dog since he was arrested and the case was nolled.

In ttme for the fire department dem- onstration which 1s to be given this morning as & feature of Merchants’ Week, the American-La France triple combination car which is to furnish one of the principal elements in the public show on Union square arrived here Wednesday evening a little after 10 o'clock. , It had made the 112 mile run from Boston by way of Provi- dence since 4.30, with a stopover of an_hour at Providence. Delivery Engineer Henry Ruggles was at the wheel of the big red car that came snorting down through North Main and Main street and Franklin square on tl way to the fire department at the Central station in Chestnut street. With him were J. 4 Webber, who is New England manage of apparatus sales, and John S. Keen- an of_Boston, who for years has been associated with fire fighting apparatus of every type, just for his love of the game. He remarked upon arriving that this was his second visit to Nor- wich, as he stopped off here once in 1873 when he was a boy of 13 and was traveling with a Brookline Fire com- pany which was on its way home from some firemen's demonstration in New- berg, New York, Took Chief Stanton Aboard. The American-La France machine came down through North Main street just as the companies were returning from a fire in a shed back of the gas tanks, so that when the visitors came across Fire Chlef Howard L. Stanton in his buggy they took him aboard their car and brought him to the sta- tion with them. The visiting machine was taken into the station for the night, backing into position behind the auto chemical. Three Pieces of Apparatus in One. The new fire fighting machine which will take part in the demonstration is a 100 horse power, six cylinder car, with 5 1-2 inch bore and 6 inch stroke. By its name of triple combination car is indicated that it is three pieces of fire apparatus in one, a pumping en- »g‘ln'e, chemical wagon and hose car. 750 Gallons Per Minute. guaranteed to deliver 750 gal- lons per minute against 120 pounds net pump pressure. This is with a 10 foot lift, which is in ®xcess of the requirements of the national board of fire underwriters. It carries a 35 gallon tank of chemical and 1,000 feet of hose in the body. There are three discharging outlets to the pump, meaning that it will deliver. three streams at once and will take in wa- ter either by draugnt or from a hy drant. b ¢ Equipment. .

Sympathy for the Colonel. The interest shown in the rumored probable return of Colonel Roosevelt to the republican party, we take it, is due chiefly to sympathy for Colonel Roosevelt.—Kansas City,Journal, ances of a horse drawn fire wagon, which are four lanterns, two pony ex- tinguishers, crowbar, door opener, 24 foot extension ladder, 12 foot roof lad- der, plaster hook, and extra charges for the chemical tank, besides the re- volving electric search light and two electric lights. The company making this car, whose factories are at Elmira, N. Y. is en- gaged entirely in the manufacture of automobile fire engines of a number of tyvpes and has 900 cars in service. In March it sold 70 cars of fall types and up to the middle of April it had sold 36 cars for that month. Price $9,000, The car which was brought here on Wednesday would sell for $9,000 de- livered in Norwich. and it would take from 90 to 120 working days to get one after the order had been given. Connecticut _cities now having the American-La. France pumping engines are Waterbury 3, Stamford 2, Hartford 3, Danbury, Naugatuck, South Man- chester and New London 1 each. only Connecticut city which has a pumping engine made by another company is New Haven, which has 2 made by the Seagraves company. Box 33 Will Ring. Chief Stanton and the fire commis- sioners have planned to have the dem- onstration at Union square this morn- ing at 10.30, ringing in an alarm from Box 33 for a supposed fire in the Ma- sonic temple. All the apparatus will turn out in response and lay hose. The plans are to have the autochemical company from the Central station and combination chemical company No. 3 of the Falls at the plain at the Lop of Broadway hill, attending a supposed fire in that vicinity. The combination pumper will be stationed at the top of West Main street hill near the Ricker pharmacy. During the display. one of the en- gines will be operated by compressed air. The engines of the local depart- ment are the only ones in the country that are arranged so they can be op- erated by compressed air, the bi-pass valves being arranged and detailed by Chief Stanton, and made by the com- pany manufacturing the engines. The chie will show how it is possible to make a connection with a line of hose and increase the pressure of water by the use of this air, virtually stealing the water from another hose line. No cistern or hydrant connection will be made other than the one the hose is fastened to. There will also be shown a wagon pipe display, something gotten up by the chief. For this pipe wheels are used such as are used on bicycles for steering. It is termed a “fAre gun.” It is expected that the demonstration will be all over by noon. The reser- voirs are mow so well supplied that the draught of water from them will make no. appreciable difference. EASTERN CONNECTICUT MEN GET PATENTS W. F.

Two Hartford Men Have a New Type to Recommend. in few As automobiles have increased Connecticut within the past Years the state license plates have enlarged in due proportion. Two Hartford men have been working for some time on a marker that is somewhat out of the ordinary. bid Connecticut sees fit to adopt this number plate it will mean a new in- dustry for Hartford. O. W. Olm- stead and Louis Webb are the prime movers in the project. The device has been demonstrated before the commit- tee on roads, rivers and bridges. It was shown in private to Secretary of State Burnes. The device occupies a light frame- work or case, 8 by 14 inches by about one inch deep. In the center appears the license number with the name of the state and year for which it is is- sued. Arranged serially, according to the alphabet, there are never more than four figures shown. Series “A” extending to 9,999, then series “B" to the same number and so on. This does away with confusion attendant upon identifying a car where the license number runs up to six figures it does, frequentiy, in New York state. Connecticut plates now run to five figures. In the lower left hand corner is a bullseve showing a red light at night. In the upper right end left hand corners are diamond shaped apertures displaying yellow lights. These lights, set in a black back- ground, are easily discernible by day as well as by night, and are operated electrically through a push button by the driver. The device is attached to both the front and the rear of the car. the red light ap- pearing only on the rear. The driver can indicate to the oc- cupants of a car following, or ap- proaching, his intended course in a manner that practically eliminates the possibility of an accident, If he intends to turn to the left he illu- minates the diamond light on the left side; if to the right he illumin- ates that side. Another most important advan- tage of the new device is that it gives absolute protection from theft or unauthorized usage of a car as the license number can be removed from the case and the case locked to prevent the substitution of an- Catarrh and Colds 1.

An average man breathes about 21 cubic-feet of air into his lungs evuy hour’y — Washington, April 28.—Activity on the part of the Zapata forces who are operating behind the army of General ; Obregon, the Carranza commander, and threatening to isolate him from his base at Vera Cruz, attracted most at- tention here today in the Mexican sit- uation. While some official reports to the state department said the Zavpatistas apparcntly had been successful in cut- ting Obregon’s communications with Vera Cruz, the extent of the break or the ability of the Carranaz commande? to restore his lines was not indicated. General Villa has received thousands of rounds of ammunition and has con- centrated an army, estimated by his agents here at nearly 35,000 men, to attack General Obregon, trouble being expected within a week. The Zapata forces, numbering several thousand, have cut the railway between Celaya, General Obregon’s headquarters, and Vera Cruz, and an early report to the state department said the train on which Duval West, President Wilson's personal representative, and a number of foreigners were traveling, had heen delayed en route. Later advices to- night said the train had been permit- ted to proceed, but it was not clear whether this meant a repair of the railroad or recognition by the Zapatis- tas of the speclal arrangement made at Mexico City by the Villa-Zapata authorities for the passage of this train.

Elbe, now a kind of lagoon, near ! Magdeburg. Animal lovers have long been gravely concerned for their fate and have been bestirring themselves to have protective measures taken. Throughout their exertions the Prus- slan Ministry having charge of the matter has ordered that the fishing rights of this lagoon be no longer farmed out, but kept in the hands of | the State forestry officials, who are ta recelve instructions looking toward the preservation of the beaver.
