PLAYING WITH MATCHES.

George Burns' House on High Street Destroyed By Fire This Afternoon.
 The fire alarm box at the corner of East Main and Cherry streets was rung this afternoon at 3 o'clock, and when the steamer and hose-wagons arrived at the box there was no one there who could inform them where the fire was. Thinking it might be on Cherry street two lines of hose were laid and only after the work was done, was it known that the fire was on the top of High street. 1.-The delay in taking1 up the hose again and the time consumed in getting to the top of the hill was serious one. The fire proved to be in the house of George Burns, who has cigar manufactory on Cherry street. Some children playing with matches had ignited some combus- tible and in a moment the interior was a mass of flames. So quick was the spread of the flames that not $1O worth of furniture or clothing was removed. Three streams of water were thrown upon the house making the pressure so light that one good stream would have done better work. The firemen worked hard, however, and succeeded in saving the surrounding property. Nothing but shell is left of the two story building. Mir Burns said that he had not even saved a second suit of clothes. The building was partially insured, but the furniture had none. The residents of this neighborhood petitioned for a fire box six months ago and had the com missioneIs not been so slow in ordering new boxes the building could have been saved

The Second Regiment Excels at the
 Long Range and Captures the First

 The state rifle match of the Connecti- cut National Guard was shot at the Quinnipiac range yesterday by teams representing the First, Second, Third and Fourth regiments and the Fifth bat talion. Thoug gh tied by the First regi- ment in the grand total the Second regi- ment was awarded the first prize, as the total on the 500 yard range was greater than the First regiment. The First re- giment team scored six more points on the 200 yard range than the Second, but the latter were pulled out of the hole by Private Cummings, Sergeant Beach and Captain La-Barnes, the last three men who shot on the 500 yard range. Not until the last Second regiment man had completed his score was it decided who was the winner.

INHALED ON A HOOK.
Miraculous Escape of a Danbury
 Boy From Frightful Death.

Miraculous Escape of Danbury
 Boy From Frightfu1 Death.
 A son of James Barrett of Danbury, aged twelve years, was assisting his father in putting in corn stalks into a mow in the barn Monday afternoon. As soon as the load was off, the boy, prob ably impatient to get away for play, hastened to get out, and in doing so at tempted to slide down to the floor. A quantity of hay was bulging out from the mow hole, and as he passed over this it partially parted and brought him in close proximity to the beam. In this there had been fastened an iron hook on which to hang quarters of beef. On this hook he became impaled. It tore through his clothing and entered his body, but very fortunately in such a position as not to enter into the abdo- men, yet half-inch more would have disemboweled him. Had he been heav- fer, this, no doubt, would have been the result. The father as quickly as possible removed him, and Dr A. l.. Williams sent for. While he found bad wound, he did not consider it essentially dan gerous one. The boy was rendered very nervous, as we'll as his parents, over the accident.

Last night the residence of B. A. Chatield was entered and money and jewelry to considerable amount was carried away. The residence of Mir Littlejohn was also entered but the rob- bers were frightened away before they had secured any booty. Robert Colds boro and Emma Hatfield, colored, are under arrest, charged with Committing the rObberies.

 Willis F. Sweatnam, the inimitable chinning comedian who heads one of w. 5. Cleyeland's great minstrel companies, relates many humorous anecdotes of a long experience on the stage. While he was managing troupe in Philadelphia there came to him a pretentious come dian who proved to be much less funny and amusing than he had represented himself. After the first performance Sweatnam asked, What's the matter You were way off tonight" The un- funny comedian answered, "I missed my inspiration, and forgot to black up last night before going to bed" Cleve- lands minstrels will appear at the opera house Monday night.

A Local Female Walker to Mako Her
 Debut To-Morrow Night.
 The female beauties of the race track are again hard at work to-day and the miles are being gradually piled up: All are in good spirits and no complaints are heard, although some of them are walking with very tender feet. Last night the rink was again crowded and the race financially now bids fair to be full for the patronage he is receiving and as consequence is trying to make the sport. Tomorrow night he has a special attraction on the bills. A young lady, who for the present desires to remain incognito, but who is pro- tege of MT Pepin, will go on the track at 8 o'clock on both Friday and Saturday evenings and will give one hour and one half exhibition of square heel and toe walking. This is her first appearance on the race track and as she is resident of Waterbury she will be an unusual at traction. All the walkers were pre- sented with bouquets last night and Miss Mowbray received a handsome basket of flowers from some one of her admir- CTS. Miss Evans is still in the lead and as matters look now she will retain it. She never complains of being tired and makes the best spurts of any of the pedestrians. Madame Tobias is follow ing her good second and is also in good trim and will make hard fight for the senior position. Madame Mac beth has increased her lead for the third position and it is hardly noticeable how she piles up the miles but she is getting there just the same. Miss Mowbray was not feeling as well yesterday as the pre- | vious days and as a consequence dropped back little. She is looking and feel ing we'll to-day and promises to do 45 miles before midnight. She still draws the most applause and is the first favor ite with the audience. All the ladies are now working hard and before Sat- urday night the scores will be large ones. H. O.. Messier, the trainer of Misses Evans and Mowbray has issued a challenge to walk any local man squa1 e heel and toe, and possibly before the week is over there will be a match race made for next week some time. He is backing himself and talks confidently of his ability to worst any competitors. The score at 4 o'clock was as follows:
