Bonfres in yards and gardens need close
watching. Wednesday morning in the gar
den of Andrew. g. Smith, Is Park street,
there was heap of rubbish smouldering.
The servant filed a clothes line near by with
quilts, counterpanes and the like, whose
weight broke the lime and one of the hand
some quilts fell upon the heap of rubbish
and caught fire. This was unobserved by
anyone in MIR. Smiths house and there was
immediate danger of a serious confiaera-
ton, when Miss Ellen E. Miles, who hap
pened to be in the adjoining garden belong
ing to her own residence in Armstrong;
block on Howard avenue, saw the blaze. Re
peated calls bringing no one from Mr..
Smiths house, that lady sprang over the
fence, seized the burning quilt and by vigor-
GUS effort succeeded in suppressing the
flames She then summoned the occupants
of Mr.. Smiths house and the remaining arti-
cles were removed from the vicinity of the
smouldering heap, the neighbors rejoicing
over the efficiency which prevented a fire
that might have easily destroyed much prop
erty.

man-Hfs Leg Broken i'm Two
Places.
Yesterday afternoon while employed at
Kelsey's fish works on Deer Island, off
Brantord, Clarence Brown, of East Haven,
met with an accident that will lay him up
for three or four months. He was at work
loading We sci with guano and using a
wheelbarrow for that purpose. While dig
ging under pile of the fertilizer it suddenly
caved in upon him. He was extricated from
his perilous position soon as possible and
beside being badly bruised about the body it
was found that his right leg was broken.
DIR. j. w. Sweet, of this city, was sent for
and on his arrival found that the young man
had sustained compound fracture Of the
right thigh bone. The doctor reduced the
fracture and left his patient as comfortable
as could be expected under the circumstances.
1t was very fortunate that Brown was not
killed. as it was estimated that the mass OF
guano that fell weighed between two and
three tons. The wheelbarrow was broken
into fragments. Brown, who is about nine
teen years of age, had been out of work nearly
all winter and had Just commenced work at
the fish works.
