AC0sTLY FIRE.

The Stock of BoWdftoh q Pruddenss
 Warehouse Badly Damaged By Wa
 tor-About $1O,OOO Damage-Fully
 Covered By lnsurauce-Fire Discov-
 cred By Miss J. M. Stephenson-fn- suranee Patrol.
 The furniture warehouse of Bowditch 6 Prudden on Orange street was damaged by fire between and g o'clock last evening, and the total loss will probably amount to about $1O, 900, which was fully covered by insurance.
 The fire was first discovered by Miss. J. M. Stephenson, dressmaker, of 838 Chapel street. Her rooms are in the rear of the ! building and from her window she saw
 flames coming from the fifth story of the furniture establishment.
 She sent boy down stairs to notify Off, cer Tripp, and this efficient member of the | finest pulled alarm box 21. The blaze had originated in small varnish | room in the rear of the fifth floor. Sponta- neous combustion from oiled rags used by I workmen and carelessly thrown down was l probably the cause.
 On the floor above was stored @ large | amount of furniture, and on the floors be- 1 meath was the principal part of the firms stock, consisting of costly parlor suits, ! roll top desks ana other expensive IQrH1GQr6. The fire was confined to the room where it started and did very little damage, but the floods of water pouring down through the | flooring injured probably about one quarter of the stock.
 Upon the same floor as the varnish room a large number of chamber sets were stored, and had these caught fire it would have been difficult to get the flames under control. Within few feet of where the fire originat- ed were several large varnish cans. The I blaze was luckily mastered before it reached | these.
 The damage to stock could not be exactly | estimated, but will probably reach $10, ,0O0. :, The firm carry @ stock of from $36, 900 to | $40, ,00O Upon this they have insurances in nearly all of the financial companies, ,amount- ! ing to about $33 ,o00. The stock on hand at I the time of last nights fire was very large, l reaching fully to 0,O00. The damaged por- | ton will probably be auctioned off imme- diately.
 A member of the firm said last night that the principal loss will be in the spring trade, ! ss it will be difficult to get rid of the dam- aged stock and procure new in time to reap the full profit of the season. Insurance men in talking of last nights fire say that it illustrates the great need which the city has for an efficient insurance patrol. All of the large cities are supplied with this
 service, and many of the costly pieces of fur niture which were ruined by water last night could have been saved.

Dangerous Use of Strong PurgatiYes

Most pills, purgatives and Bitter Waters, which act quickly upon the bowels irritate and often de- stroy the mucous coats of the stomach and bowels Indeed their cathartic action is directly caused by the irritation of the boEels which they produce Their action should be soothing aod stimulating, instead of irritating continued use of such remedies produces chronic inflammation of the stomach and bowels This oft ends in dangerous disease. The use of the genuine imported Carlsbad Spradei Salt is highly recommended as an aperi- ent laxativeand diuretc, because it's action IS due solely to it's solvent aud stimulating properties It soothes and allays inflammation, and is therefore much preferable to all strong purgatves and Bitter Waters

man,s Wretched Reat1a.

Windsor Locks, who had his feet frozen re- gently and was sent to the hospital in Hart- ford Monday, died Thursday morning. The story of his misfortune is well known and proved a sad ending to night of carousal. Several of his boon companions came to his house on one of the coldest nights of the sea- son and he became intoxicated. When his companions departed he tumbled into bed as best he could, leaving his feet sticking out side. The fire went out and his foot was frozen so badly that amputstion was neces- sary. He leaves some money and farm. His wife died recently. His body will be bronpht home to day.

 Yesterday afternoon she became very live ly, 30 lively, in fact, that she could not con- tain herself, and the result was that her mother-in-law did not fare very we'll. Hen- riet.a gave her general thrashing, incident ally breaking two ribs, and to cap the climax knocked down a shelf loaded with fatirons upon her head.
 A little later the fair Henrietta was gaily riding down Dixwell avenue in the police pa trol wagon with Officers St. Claire and Dip pold by her side. She was released from the police station last night upon $500 bonds, given by her husband, Penney Treadwell.

 At last the directors of the New Haven Amusement company have secured grounds. There have been many obstacles in their way, but they got there finally.
 The grounds will be situa ted on Howard avenue at the junction of Kimberly avenue and next to the railroad track. The proper ty is owned by Charles F. Futile. Arrange ments have been completed for lease for two years with privilege of five.
 By securing these grounds the Amusement company is to be congratulated, as they are but five minutes walk from the depot and about ten from City Hall. The patronage from out of town will probably be large.
