WATERBURY, CONN.,
HAS $3,000,GOG FIRE
Best Business Portion Goes
Up In Smoke.
HIGH WIND FANNED FLAMES
Fire Started in Dry Goods Store of
Reid and Hughes, and as Firemen
Wore Fighting It Another Broke Out
In the Scoviile House.
Waterbury, Conn., Feb. 3.—For ten
hours last nignt and this l -Ox'ning
flames fanned by a high wind held
sway over the business portion of this
5ity, causing a loss that will exceed
$3,000,000. The best business portion
of the city, forming a triangle bound
ed on the north by Exchange place,
on the west by Bank street, on the
south by Grand street and on the east
by South Main street was almost
wiped out.
Started In Dry Goods Store.
The first fire, which started in the
big store of the Reid & Hughes Dry
Goods company, on Bank street, was
not considered under control until
about $3,000,000 worth of property had
been destroyed. About the time the
firemen supposed they had the flames
under control a second fire broke out
in the Scoviile house, the city’s lead
ing hotel, remodeled by the late Judge
E. C. Lewis a i'ew years ago at an ex
pense of $75,000, and the establish
ment was completely wrecked. The
ocChpants of the hotel were forced to
seek the streets in their night clothes.
With the ringing of a second alarm
tue entire city was thrown into a
panic. There was a fierce gale blow
ing and sparks from the burning hotel
were driven in showers over a great
area. The occupnast of buildings lo
cated in the path of the wind prepared
to leave. Although the Waterburv fire
department was reinforced from near
by cities, it was for a time impossible
to stay the progress of the flames. The
fire in its entirety burned over four
acres of the city's best business sec
tion. Among the prominent buildings
totally destroyed are the block occu
pied by the Reid & Hughes Dry Goods
company, the plant of the Waterbury
American, the Masonic temple, the
Scoviile and Franklin houses, the W.
Douglas Shoe company, the John
son block, the Salvation Army working
men’s home and scores of other build
ings. In all about 100 of the most
prominent business houses are burned
out.
Fought Fire In Gale.
Rarely have firemen been obliged to
contend against worse conditions than
those which prevailed from first to last
in this disastrous conflagration. The
wind was blowing a gale and the cold
was intense. It seemed at one time
as though every structure in the heart
o- the city would be destroyed. In
some instances the work of the fire
men proved of avail. The Waterbury
bank building, at t.he corner or Bank
and Grand streets, was saved, although
the i\ew England Engineering compa
ny’s $70,000 building but a few feet
away and the Masonic temple on the
north side of the bank building were
wiped out of existence. During the
nignt the mayor was in communica
tion with Governor McLean and the
militia was called out. Companies A
and G, numbering about 120 men. were
detailed about the fire district and are
still on duty.
City Under Martial Law.
The city is now' practically under
martial law, the blue uniforms of the
national guardsmen appearing on ev
ery side.
Details are changed every two hours.
The armory, the city hall, the church
es and other public places have been
turned into temporary shelters, hun
dreds filing rendered homeless. The
moral effect of this fire upon Water
bury cannot be otherwise than pro
nounced. An Associated Press corre
spondent asked Mayor Kilduff if he
would call for financial aid from out
side cities. The mayor responded
quickly, saying:
“Waterbury, although suffering a
grievous blow, will take care of her
self, although extremely grateful for
the expressions of sympathy tnat have
poured in on every side.”
BLACKS FEAR MOB.
Reigrt of Terror Near a Tennessee Coal
Mine.
Chattanooga, Feb. 4.—Almost a
reign of terror exists in the vicinity of
the Millstone mine of the Cumberland
Coal company, 17 miles above Cross-
ville, in Fentress county, this state.
Some dissatisfied miners and a lot
of toughs and bullies recently posted a
notice signed with skull and cross-
bones and in red ink warning the ne
groes. a few' of whom are employed
about the mines and at the company
store, to leave at once.
The negroes did not leave and the
mob has twice fired into their cabins.
The la?:t time the negroes returned the
fire and the mob retreated.
Sunday night the mob attacked the
company’s commissary. William Nix
on, son of Manager Nixon, at the head
of a number of white employes, charg
ed the mob with Winchester rifles and
a pitched battle ensued. The situa
tion has been reported to Adjutant
General Brandon, who has assured the
company protection. The Crossville
company of militia is ready to be call
ed out at any time it may be needed.
Several of the mob were arrested
and taken before magistrates, who
are said to be friendly to them, ard
were released, the terrified negroes be
ing afraid to appear as prosecutors.
The company officials say they will
certainly protect the negroes.
A LONG SEPARATION.
After 40 Years Brothers Meet Once
More.
New York. Feb. 4.—Chris Kelman
left Passaic. N. J., 40 years ago for
Wisconsin, where he engaged in farm
ing. He left behind his brother John,
wdio is now 79 years old.
During four years the brothers cor
responded with each other and then
letters ceased. A few' weeks ago
John wms taken ill v He daily called
for his brother. It was thought he
was dying, when a knock was heard
at the door and a stranger announc
ed himself as the missing brother. He
had acquired a fortune in the west,
he said, and after a long search had at
last located his brother, who had
moved during his absence. The sick
man swooned, but soon rallied, and
the physicians now believe he wdll re
cover.
BUTTER AS A MEDICINE.
It la Good For Consumptives nod
For Thin, Weak Fcople.
Butter is so common a commodity
that people use it and scarcely ever
think what wonderful value lies at
their hand in the pats of dainty yellow
cream fat. Of course they know that it
is useful in many branches of cookery
and that without its aid the table
would be bare of its thinly rolled bread
and butter, iis delicate cakeiots and its
other usual aee< ssoric-s. Beyond these
uses the value of butter is a tiling only
vaguely thought of.
But this delicate fat is as valuable
as the dearer ctul liver oil for weakly,
thin people, and doctors have frequent
ly recommended the eating of many
thin slices of bread thickly spread with
butter ;:s a means of pleasantly taking
into the bodily tissues one of the pur
est forms of fat it is passible to get.
Butter is a carbon, and all excess of
it is stored up as fat in the body. It
gives energy and power to work to
those who eat heartily cf it. Fo it is
not economy at table to spare the but
ter, even to the healthy folk. For any
one afflicted with consumption butter
cookery, if plenty of fat can be digest
ed, is one of the best ways of curing
ihe disease if it is in its early stages
or of keeping it at bay if advanced.
Butter is not a simple fat, composed
of merely one sort. It is a mixture of
r.o less than seven different sorts or’
fats, and no more complex oil can be
taken than this is.
EXPLOSION AT ARDMORE, MD.
Superintendent of a Piar.t and Several
Others Reported Kiiied.
Washington, Feb. 4.—A report has
just reached here that an explosion oc
curred this morning at the Gerberite
manufacturing plant at Ardmore, Md..
and that the superintendent of the
plant and possibly* several others had
been killed and more injured.
Ardmore is located beyond the res
trict of Columbia boundary line at a
considerable distance from a telegraph
office, and the details are not yet
known.
iluvr a Diamond Cats Glass.
It lias been ascertained by a series of
experiments that a diamond does not
cut out the glass, file fashion, but
forces the particles apart, so that a
continuous crack is formed along the
line of the intended cut. The crack
once begun, very small force is neces
sary to carry it through the glass, and
thus the piece is easily broken off. The
superficial crack or cut need not be
deep. A depth, according to tine meas
urements, of a two-hundredth part of
one inch is quite sufficient to accom
plish the purpose, so that the applica
tion of much force in using the dia
mond only wears out the gem without
doing the work any better.
Numerous stones, such as quartz and
other minerals, when ground into
proper form, will cut glass like a dia
mond. but are not so valuable for that
purpose, lacking the requisite hardness
and soon losing the sharp edge neces
sary to rnasJe the operation a success.
Used Mail Fraudulently.
Kansas City. Feb. 4.—N. D. Parker,
a young man who lives at Ottawa.
Kas., has been held for the federal

Redmond called for assistance, and
those who came had a fearful strug
gle before they succeeded in disarm
ing the negro. He was hustled off to
jail with a mob at his heels, and but
for Sheriff Harding there would have
been a lynching.
Governor Longiuo has called out the
Capitol Light Guards knd they are

Brunswick, Ga., Feb. 4.—Horace B.
Randolph, one of Brunswick’s best
known and most highly respected cit
izens, was accidentally killed by step
ping in front of a Brunswick aud Bir
mingham train enroute to Savannah
yesterday. All the evidence tends to
show that he unconsciously stepped
before the moving train, which, un
known to him, was within 50 feet and
drawing nearer. After an exhaustive
investigation the coroner’s jury ren
dered its verdict of accidental death
and exonerated Engineer Flints from

Slight Shin Eruption* are a Warning or Something more Serious to Come,
The Only Sale Way is to Heed the Warning. Johnston’s Sarsaparilla
is the Most Powerful Blood Puriiier Known.
Nature, in her efforts to correct mistakes, which mistakes have come from
careless living, or it may be from ancestors, shoots out pimples, blotches and
other imperfections on the skin, as a warning that more serious troubles (per
haps tumors, cancers, erysipelas or pulmonary diseases) are certain to follow if
you neglect to heed the warning and correct the mistakes.
Many a lingering, painful disease and many an early death has been avoided
simply because these notes of warning have been heeded and the blood kept
pure by a right use of JOHNSTON’S SARSAPARILLA.
Miss Abbie J. Rande, of Marshall, Mich., writes:
“ I was cured of a bad humor after suffering with it for five years. The
doctors and my friends said it was salt rheum. It came out on my head, neck
and ears, and then on my whole body. I was perfectly raw with it. What I
suffered during those five years, is no use telling. Nobody would believe me if
I did. I tried every medicine that was advertised to cure it. I spent money
enough to buy a house. -I heard JOHNSTON’S SARSAPARILLA highly
praised. I tried a bottle of it. I began to improve right away, and when I had
finished the third bottle I was completely cured. I have never had a touch of it
since. I never got any thing to do me the least good till I tried JOHNSTON'S
SARSAPARILLA. -I would heartily advise all who are suffering from humors
or skin disease of any kind to try it at once. I had also a good deal of stomach
trouble, and was run down and miserable, but JOHNSTON’S SARSAPARILLA
made me all right.”
The blood is your life and if you keep it pure and strong you can positively re
sist disease or face contagion fearlessly. JOHNSTON S SARSAPARILLA never
fails. It is for sale by all druggists, in full quart bottles at only one dollar each
