A Sliding Act and Narrow Escapes.

Land and snow slides sometimes occur but
 it is not often that 8 roof slides of 8 build
 ing, as was the case yesterday afternoon at
 the new double house on Trumbull street,
 north side, which is being erected for Dexter
 Alden, Esq, between Lincoln street and
 Whitney avenue. The sliding act was on an
 part. The work was in charge of the car
 penters under the foreman. The carpenters
 had got the roof of the l. part to the house
 in the rear all up and ready for slating, but
 had neglected to put in the cross ties and se-
 cure the plate to the joist, consequently the
 weight, especially with two or three men on
 it, spread out the rafters, they not being se-
 cured, and they slid of, part one way and
 part the other, taking small portion of the
 wall and the gable end. About five courses
 of brick went down on each side. Deacon
 Linsley, the contractor for the carpenter
 work, was away attending to other buildings,
 and did not know of the mishap till late in
 the afternoon. The foreman had delayed
 securing the rafters, thinking that job might
 be delayed until the chimney was up. Three persons in the yard adjoining in the garden of Mir. Frederick Farnsworth had narrow
 escape. These were Mrs Farnsworth, a young daughter, boy named Pursen and a gardener. One-half the falling roof plunged across the intervening space between the lots and landed in the Farnsworth lot. the ends of the rafters burying themselves deeply in the ground. The roof fell directly over the boy Pursell, and would have killed him had not stout fence prevented the rear end from sagging down to the ground As it was, nothing but his short stature pre- vented him from being crushed, and as soon as the noise of falling bricks ceased the little fellow stepped out from under the heavy mass and was found to be entirely unin. jured. But it was close shave. The escape of Mrs. Farnswcrth and daughter was also almost miraculous. They were stand 1 ing near the fence and escaped instant death | only because a couple of staunch clothes poles intercepted the lateral movement of the | falling roof and stopped it at their very feet. | The carpenters on the roof were in great | danger also, but fortunately they escaped un- hurt, and for a moment hardly knew what | had happened, so thoroughly were they tumbled about Altogether it was a narrow | escape.

Death of Dr. Fitch.

Yesterdays Meriden Repu6ltcan says ''The sad intelligence of the death of Dr. Fitch was received in this city this morning. The death occurred Monday noon from con- vulsions, the result probably of tubercular meningitis. At the time he was at his home in Chester, Vt. and had been in fair health up to few minutes before his death. pr. Fitch has not been well since he left this city, some four years ago, although he has spent much time in travelling and at health resorts. During his ten years residence here he made many warm friends who will be pained to learn of his sudden death. The funeral services will be held on Friday, at II oclock at his late residence in Chester. Dr. Fitch was about 45 years of age and leaves wife but no children. He was the nephew of the Hon. E. w. Stoughton, ex- minister to Russia and was the last male member of his family. He has mother and one sister in GhnCtar

The cost as estimated by the chief includes $8,OOO for the house; three horses, $90O; hose carriage, $500; furni- ture, gong, tools, etc, $1 ,OOO; salaries of mates the property on hand that can be used in connection with the new engine house as SC, 700, which includes the reserve steamer, hose, etc. ,= ...-....s ., -..--.--
