CoSHs-Ihe good people Of Bridgeport, Conn.,,
are suffering from fear of b..Irg h1rnei M,
Under portion Of the city are immense pea;
deposits. BY reason of continued dry weather
these beds have become Ike tinder, have taken
thus far proved fruitless. The fire does not ex-
tend to the surface of the g-Ound, but is con-
fined 70 the peat stratum exclusively, which
lies three or four fest below the surface. As
this layer of cOmbustible material is consumed
the soil above drops down into lts place. The
residents are, of cOurse, very anxious for the
abatement OF the trouble, but il would seem
thSt the manner in which the fire is protected
by the soil above might render its extinguish
ment work Of very great difficulty. 4 fall OF
snow last Friday morning temporarily smoth
cred the fires, but later in the day they were
burning again.
