Last evening about a quarter past seven the large new barn in Stratford belonging to Mrs. E. Brooks of Bridgeport and occupied by Dr. Coggswell, on Main street, was dis covered to be on fire. The alarm was imme- diately sounded and Mutual Hook and Ladder company were quickly on their way to the scene. The fire had gained such rapid head way that it was found impossible to save the barn, and the fremen turned their attention to saving the adjoining barn aud residence of Mrs. Olmey, which was at one time in great danger. They worked hard and succeeded in saving them, although at one time the barn was in blaze. Dr. Coggswell- saved Ehis horse, carriage, harness, robes and wood. The barn was filled with hay and straw. The loss is about $7O0 on which there is an insur- ance of $4Oo in the Continental Insurance company, of New York. After the fire re- treatments were served by Mrs. Olmey and Mrs. R. H. Russell. A large delegation of the fremen were at the depot waiting for the train to take them to Birmingham, where they were to attend the annual ball of R. M Bassett Hook and Ladder company. They gave up going and were promptly at the fire. It is supposed the barn was set on fire by 8 spark from bonfire.

The Rosstter Case.

Thursday night man about thirty-fve years old named Robert w. Rossiter, of Guilford, arrived in town and got hackmsn to take him to the New Haven House. He called for room and went to it, the hack man following along to get his pay. The man handed out a check for $50 payable to the order of Silverman & Co.,, and signed ''R w. Rossiter." The check had been all tered so that it read 'sYale bank of New Ha- ven'' instead of 'tFirst National bank of GuiIford." 'sNew Haven' on the date line was erased and ''Guilford" written over it. ''Silverman & Co., and 'tB. Monroe" appear on the back of the check in the same ink as that on the face. As the check would net psass, Rossfeer left the hotel and went to the depot, where he was arrested by Officer Nichols. He was charged with drunkenness, but was held in $200 bonds to await an in vestigation. The man keeps store in Guil- ford and is said to be well connected.
