THE DAY IN BRANFORD,

John Rice, the Victim of the Stab
 bing Ahray, Improving - A New
 Years Fire Yesterday.
 BRANFoRD, Jan. IA fire broke out in McGrails saloon to-day, and but for the fact that the scene of the fire was in such close proximy to the Branford Lock works the damage would have been much heavi- CT, as the saloon was situated in the midst of lot of old buildings. As itwas the fire got under control by means of streams of water thrown upon it from the lock works. The fire broke out in the attic of the sa- loon, but was quickly extinguiahed, the bulk of the damage being done by water. The loss will probably amount to $1 ,OOO, which is fully covered by insurance.
 John Rice, the victim of the Christmas day stabbing affray, is steadily, though slowly, improving, and the chances for his ultimate recovery are brighter. The only thing now to be feared is the setting in of inflammation. Nothing has been done in the matter as yet, Johnston, who is supposed to be implicated in the affray, having returned.
