TEN THOUSAND DEAD.
Many More Killed in the Japan Fart
quake Than at First Supposed.

Many More Killed in the Japan Earth
quake Than at First Supposed.
LONDON, Nov. Traditional advices
from Japan confirm the news that there
have been many wrecks about the Island
of Hondo as one of the consequences of
the earthquake.
The severance of Geographic communi-
cation with the death-visited districts
continues to prevent accurate details
being gathered as to the extent of the
calamity.
Over two thousand persons were
killed and about eighteen thousand
houses were destroyed in the province
of Nagoya, on the Island of Hondo, the
capital of which is Nogoya, a city of one
hundred and thirty thousand inhabit-
ants.
In addition to this five thousand
houses were destroyed and five thousand
persons we're killed by the earthquake
at Gifu.
The towns of Kano and Kasamatsu
were also destroyed, together with fifty
miles of railroad.
1t Is presumed that the fire, which
started among the wrecked buildings at
Nagoya, may have had much to do with
the great loss of life.
AS the loss Of life at Kano and at
Kasamatsu is not mentioned, and az
these towns are said to have been de-
stroyed, 1t is estimated here that the
total loss of life may eventually be
shown to be over ten thousand.

Two Men Believed to Have Persisted
In the Flames.
ESSEX, Nov AT 2 o'clock this
morning fire was discovered in the
Union house stables at the rear of the
Union house in this place. The fire de-
partment was summoned to the scene
and everything possible done to save the
buildings and live stock. The flames
gained such Roadway that the firemen
were powerless and in less than an hour
the large barn with it's contents was a
mass of ruins. The barn contained five
horses, four carriages, two hacks and a
large supply of grain and feed. This
was all burned with the harm. The orr,
gin of the fire is unknown, but it is be.

gin. John Pratt and James Burns, two
men who had hired team during the
day went into the stable shortly after
o'clock and it is believed that they per

seen since. 1t is the theory that they
sat down while inside and fell ASLEEP
and that before they could awake they
were smothered with the smoke anc

The Latest Concerning Roger Common
and Danny Richardson.

The Latest Concerning Roger ConnOr
and Danny Richardson.
Speaking of the base ball situation in
New York the Advertiser says to- day {:
Barnie went to Waterbury, found Con-
nor and labored with him. The big
first baseman said that he would jump,
providing Richardson did. Barnie
spent two days and one night in labor
ing with Richardson. Then he wired to
Thursday. On the evening of that day
both accepted the Athletic offer, on the
condition that they be allowed to hold
one more interview with John B. Day
and give that gentleman an opportu-
nifty to accept their figures. Friday the
two players met Day and Talcott, but
could come to no agreement. That
night Barnie went over to Philadelphia.
Saturday morning Conner and Richard
son again met Talcott and Day. The
magnates, now thoroughly frightened,
offered the players 81 900 apiece, with
81 900 in advance, and two years con-
tract. The players declined this offer,
and, to the dismay of the magnates,
started up town. Richardson and Con-
nor went over to Philadelphia yester-
day, and, bar accidents, they will sign
Athletic contracts to-day. They are to
receive So 200 each, three-year per-
sonal contract with George Wagner,
secured by bond signed by three re-
sponsible men and $4,000 in advance
money. 1t may prove an unpleasant
surprise to the New York management
| to learn that the star battery, Rusie and
Buckley, has already agreed on terms
with the Chicago Association club.
Amos Rusie IS to receive So, 800 with
50 900 in advance.
The Sun says: Richardson and Connor
devoted yesterday to calm consideration
of the extremely liberal offer made to
| them by the New York baseball club
| management, and while they made nc
public announcement of their intentions
| it was indirectly given out that they
had about come to the conclusion to &C
cept the terms. Barnie and his generous
promisers staggered the New Workers
for time, but when they had given the
matter little cool thought they saw
the difference between cold cash in New
York city and splendid promises in
Philadelphia. At pr sent Rueie is an
unknown quantity, but as the manage.
'nent are not at all averse to giving an
advance to the big pitcher, the pros
poets are decidedly favorable for his
continuing a member of the New York
team.
The relay bicycle race between Hart
| ford and New York, distance of 12t
miles, Saturday, occupied eight hours
thirty minutes and fifteen seconds, the
average rate of speed being one mile in
four minutes. The grea+ est disappoint
ment was the fact that w. Murphy, who
took the message from Westminster tt
New York, and who expected to cover
the distance in thirty-three minutes, Oc
cupied siXty-one minutes.

NAUGATUCK, Nov 2.-Too much praise
cannot be accorded to the members of
our fire department for the manner in
which they fought and won in saving
the postoffice block and surrounding
property yesterday morning from de-
struction, under the charge of Assistant
Fuller, the chief being confined to his
home by an in jured foot. The alarm
was given at 1928 for the clothing store
of Shapiro in Conran's one story build
ing, next to the postoffice, the inside of
which in few moments was a seething
mass of flames, breaking through on the
north side on to the postoffice building
way into Beardsley7s store on the first
floor, Platt's Insurance office on the
second and the Masonic hall on the
third floor. The flames crept between
the timbers of the mansard roof, max
ing it the most stubborn fire the fire
men here have had to contend with.

was partly destroyed by fire yesterday.

the fire.

THE NATIONAL GUARD.
Report of General Breckenridge to the
etary of War.

IL" port of General Breckenridge To the
Seer etary of War.
Inspector General J. c.. Breckenridge,
in his annual report to the secretary of
war, says that the work of inspection of
the national encampments was never SO
completely accomplished as during the
past year. For this duty 81 officers
were detailed, and 40 encampments
were held in 81 states and territories, 81
states and territories having no organ
lied militia or holding no encampments.
For the first time all of the encamp-
ment of state troops were visited Off
cially by officers of the army. The
great improvement in the troops as re-
vealed by the reports of these officers is
said to be worthy of notice. The in
spector-general says that the good
effects of the encampment of regular
troops with the military where the ex-
pertinent has been tried has been
marked, and fraternity and mutual
esteem and respect are established be
tween these two branches of the mill
tary service. In his report to the
ma general commanding the army
the inspector-general suggested the adj
visibility of holding at Chicago during
the Columbian exposition an encamp-
ment of the militia forces of the nation
and collecting there as many regulars as
possible. He says we have no cause to
be ashamed of our army.

She May Receive So, 900.

BRISTOL, Nov 2.-The widow of the
late George Turner has gone to Polk
vile to reside with George Turner, jr,
pending the settlement of the estate. 1t
was the expressed wish of Mr. Turner
that one-third of the estate should go to
re widow. AS the money is invested
in stocks which have lately risen above
par, it is assumed that the old gentle
man was worth more than was at first
supposed, some putting it as high as
$4,000 The widow will receive $4,000
at least for her short trip east.

VTRIFIED BRICK PAVEMENT.
a Claim That 1t Is Superior to Broker
Stone or Block Pavement.

A Claim That 1t Is Superior to Broken
Stone or Block Pavement.
A writer IN the New Haven Palla-
dunn upon the subject of street paving
says: The superiority of the vitrified
brick pavement consists in an even sur
face upon which there is much less
wear of horse and vehicle than upon
broken stone or block pavement. 1t is
nearly noiseless, is easily cleaned and
repaired. 1t is not affected by frost,
moisture or fire. 1t affords no place
for the Judgment of filth. 1t is a pave
ment which is easily removed and re-
placed when it is necessary to have
access to gas, water, electric conduit or
sewer pipe. 1t also produces less dust,
hence requiring little if any sprinkling,
and if well laid, practically no repairs
for many years. 1t is, in short, such a
pavement that New Haven is mostly in
need of and is entitled to careful con-
sideration by our city authorities; and,
if they should conclude to lay any of it
in our city, they should see to it that
nothing but the best quality of vltrified
brick is used.

It is little less than year ago that
comedy actress, made her debut as a
star in L. R. Shewell's play, 'The Step
daughter" and the success predicted for
her at that time has been amply veri-
fed. In 1.-The Stepdaughter," she per
sonates an Irish servant, Peggy Logan,
and appears by all odds the most easy
and natural Irish comedy actress on the
stage in this country. Waterbury will

SIGHTED HIS FAIR NIECE.
sclah Chamberlain's VIII Makes No
Provision for Mrs. Naylor-Lcylan.

A telegram says tho will of the late
Selah Chamberlain, the railroad build
or, has been probated In gainesville, Lake
County, o. Several years ago Mr.. Chamber
lain ostensibly removed from Cleveland to
Lake County, in order to circumvent
the tax inquisitor of this city, who has been
very energetically looking after men with
large estates. Mr.. Chamberlain had home
in Euclid avenue, resided there in winter,
died there, and was buried in a city ceme-
terry. He voted in Lake county, however,
and his will was therefore probated there.
He left an estate valued at 81 900, 900 on a
low estimate. He was member of the
Presbyterian church, and the only public
bequest he made, which was small one,
by the way, was to the Lane Theological
Seminary at Cincinnati The bulk of his
vast estate will go into the possession Of
the two nephews, sons of n brother, who
live here. The famous beauty, known as
Jennie Chamberlain before her marriage,
was his niece. Her name is not mentioned
in the will. She was married u year or
two ago in England to wealthy man, and
is now known as Mrs. Naylon-Leylan. She
was always regarded as being an especial
favorite of her uncle.

starved In Big stores.

All the female health inspectors of
Chicago are now investigating the
charges recently made by members OF
the Woman's Alliance that little cash
girls in the big stores are being over
worked and underpaid; that they did
not get sufficient time to rest or eat
their meals. and were compelled to
work overtime in many OF the places
without getting even chance
10 eat their suppers. Also
that they do not receive extra
pay for overwork. The inspectors
on investigation have found that in
many stores these children work over
fourteen hours day for wages averag-
ing from $3.50 to So per week. They
get down Mt o'clock in the morning
and are compelled to eat their lunches
in squads, commencing at the arbi-
trary hour OF 10 o'clock, some not get
ting a chance to eat until 2. Then
they work till 8 or 0 o'clock in the
evening without anything to eat until
they get home. The health author
tiles threaten to publish the names Of
those who subject these children to
inhuman treatment.

washing Fiannels.

One OF the severest trials housewives
experience ut this season Is In the
poor washing of their ilannels. Nice
garments of tho softest woods are COM
pletely ruined in the process of cleans
ing by their laundresses. After few
weeks they are too often spoiled be-
You'd wear. There are many pro-
cesses OF washing flannels recon-
mended, but we have found this one
to be excellent. the finest woods keep
ing soft for years. Let the water in
the tubs be rs hot as the'hand can posi-
bly, bear. and to each tub of water add u
half tea cup Of the strongest ammonia.
Into this put the fannels piece by
piece. rubbing each we'll with the
hands, but not on u board. Pass the
flannels through three waters and
rinse in clean hot water. Squeeze dry
and whip. and slap into good shape be-
fore hanging on a line in the bright
sunshine. II clothes on the line freeze
dry they will look very white and
clean, but they must be taken down
with care lest the fibre break and ug-
ly tears come in the clothing. Chris
