A had Blaze Squeiehed by the Dropping
of Two Ducks Down the Chimney.
GREENpoRr, l.. l., Dec. 20-Tnesday
night,durin the early part Of the gale, the
large stone mansion at Arsbamogue, be-
longing to the estate of the late Richard
3. Conklin, the former owner of Rarus,
was discove red to be on fire. The fire
originated in the main chimney, and
when first seen was pouring into the
rooms through openings for pipes in the
second floor of the house. The flames
were communicated TO the dry woodwork
aud spread rapidly. As fast as the fire
cased in the chimney would break out at
another point and the destruction OF the
building seemed certain, as there appeared
to be no way TO reach the fire, which was
growing hotter and threatened to burst
the chimney.
Hit Upon q Bright idea.
At this point young R. B. Conkling ran
to the duck pen and, startling the sleeping
occupants with the suddenness of his APP
pearance among them, proceeded to seize
number of the largest Despite their
vigorous protests the ducks were hurried
off toward the burning building A lad
der was secured, and almost before any
one could realize what the young man was
about to do he bad mounted TO the ton of
the house and made his way to the chin
ney. The fire and smoke was still pour
ing from this shaft. Young Conklin,
with quick motion, tossed one of the
ducks into the chimney The flame for
the instant seemed checked and the vol.
ume of smoke became more dense.
Worked Like q Charm.
Then another duck was offered as a sac
ritice to save the honse, and quacking and
futtering. was hurled into the chimney.
The cloud of SCOT raised by the Tapping
wings of the duck as il sank into the fiery
crater through the narrow stone shaft eff
fectually smothered the fire, and although
the life of the duck went out in few min
utes the novel expedient was found to
have worked to good effect, and before the
smothered flames could regain their lost
ground the vantage gained was followed
up and the fire was subdued

CHICAGO, Dec. ga novel and daring
burglary which netted the perpetrators
over $500 in silks and fine imported
linens was committed Thursday night in
the heart of the city. The burglars, in
stead OF resorting to the usual method of
forcing door or transom, cut a hole in
the foundation wall big enough to admit
the passage of a man, and through this
made their way into the store Of McNellis
& Campbell. Only the finest silks and
linens were carried away, and what the
thieves left of these they probably could
not handle for lack of room in the express
wagon they used to make the job a sue
cess
No Clue to the Rascals-
There is a passage between the looted
store and the adjoining store which is
closed by high fence. The fence prevented
anybody passing the spot from seeing the
burglars during the five or six hours it
took them TO cut through three feet of solid
masonry. The police are hunting high
and low for them and for the stolen goods.
