The $16,000 fire at Storrs college Sunday night, when the old dairy barn was totally destroyed from an un- known cause, was fellowed by another biaze Tuesday noom, when Grove cot- tage, a two and a half story wooden structure, which has been used as a dormitory for girl students, was dis- covered to be on fire. The college bell was rung in as an alarm and in a short time a volunteer department was do- ing its utmost to check the fire. Owing to the location of the building, which stood between the main building and the greenhouse, the latter buildings beinz threatened, a call for assistance vas sent to the fire department of this Members of Engine company N 1. with the large chemical auto truc nit the high spots only on the run to Storrs and succeeded in confinfng the fire to the cottage, which eventually E=rned to the ground. The fire wa under control in less than an hour.

It was learned Tues- day evening that the fire was caused through a mishap due to one of the plumbers who have been making “re- pairs this week on the cottage. It is d he was using a gasolihe torch and ough an accident the fire was start- very effort and means available was used . to check the fire, which quickly gained great headway. The re burned up everything clean, noth- ing being left but the ceilar walls. A coincidence in conpection with the fire was that Fred Bliss, an fnsurance ad- juster for one of the Hartford insur- ance companies, was at the college at the time Tuesday’s fire broke out, for the purpose of adjusting the loss oc- casioned by Sunday night's fire. Mr. Bliss_stayed until the fire was over and it is said adjusted matters right there for a total loss. The selectmen have issued a call for a special town meeting to be held on Thursday evening of next week to see if the voters will authorize the select- men to apply for the tewn's share of the state highway appropriation for the coming two years, which is $20,000. There is no doubt but what it will be readily sanctioned. Chief Killourey went to Holyoke Tuesday morning and returned later in { the day with Howard Brown, wanted here to answer to the charge of non- support. Brown was arrested in Hol- yoke Monday at the request of the lo- cal authoritfes. He will be given a hearing in the local police court this (Wednesday) morning. The contract for the rew dining hall at Storrs coilege has been let to the H. Wales Lines company of Meriden. The | building will be a modern one in every respect. Work is to be started in & ! short time. In response to their recent petition for an increase in wages, the local journeymen painters, decorators and paperhangers have been granted and | have -accepted _a new wage schedule which takes effect next Monday. 55 cents an hour for a -i4 lhour week. This ;means .an _increase. of five cents an hour. The master nainters and the journeymen came (> this agreement after. a number of conferences. ~The former 'weekly ‘wage was $22:- under the new schedule it will be $24.20. There were no developments Tues- day in connection with the robbery of several thousand dollars’ worth of silk from the New York office of the Wind- ham Silk company of this city during the afternoon of July 4th. Frank lLar- rabee, president of the company, who went to New York Sunday night, upon { being notified of the break, had not returned Tuesday night and fhose in the office did mot know Tuesday just when he would return. The inveniory of the stock in the warerooms wiil show just how many bolts of silk were taken. It is evident the thieves had co-operation on the part of someone familiar with the place, as the elevator had to be used to move the goods from the 11th floor of the building to the lower floor. The building was also supposed to have been closed and lock- ed up for over Friday and Saturday. It is reported that the elevator man has been taken into custody. There is uncertainty still in regard to the situation of the Shore Line Electric Railway company and its em- ploves. Last week there were rumors of a strike by the ynen, but nothing in that line developed. A strike at this time would prove a great inconven- jence fof many in this city who use the trolleys getting back and forth to their work. William A. King of this city, one of the attorneys for- the liquor interests in this state, was present Tuesday at the opening of the test case of the wartime prohibition measure in the U. $. district court at New Haven, tried before Judge L.

Amguments on the demurrer will be heard in New Haven next Saturday morning. Monday evening Rev. John A. Dooley, pastor of St. Mary’s church in South Coventry for the past six and a half years, was presented a purse of gold by his parishioners. Father Dooley leaves St. Mary’s parish Thursday for Hartford to begin his duties as pastor of St. Lawrence O'Toole church, to which he was recently assigned by BEishop Nilan. He has made many lo- cal friends during his stay in South Coventry “and has their best wishes for his success in his new parish. It is stated that a committee from San Jose council, No. 14, K. of C., has been negotiating for some time for the purchase of property suitable for a permanent home. Rumors were cur- rent all last week that property suit- able for the purpose mentioned had been purchased, or that it was about to be purchased, but members of the committee would not verify the re- ports. It is known that several sites have heen offered and that the matter of obtaining a home for the council is being seriously considered. The twilight seven-inning ball game Tuesday afternoon at R?crn;:inn park between the Dyers and Works and the Manufacturing teams of the Industrial league was a close one up to the last inning, when the sluggers of the Dyers and Works - team connected with Brown's offerings for the necessary hits to score four runs dand win the zame by a score of 7 to 3.
