UNLUCKY DANBURY.
Large Part of the City Reduced to
Ashes This Morning

Ashes This Morning,
DANBURY, March 15.-The most de-
structive fire that ever occurred here
broke out at an early hour this morn
ing.
At about 2 o'clock the alarm of fire
brought out the entire department.
The fire was in tenement house in the
rear of Robertson's carriage shop on
Crosby lane, occupied by George
and it was intensely cold. The flames
spread with great rapidity and were be-
YOnd control when the firemen arrived,
Almost in a twinkling the carriage
factory was in ruins and the flames
then attacked an unoccupied building
which was formerly occupied by
Nichols & Hine as hat factory. This
was reduced to ashes.
By this time the flames were spread
ing in all directions and reached across
the Still river, destroying the carpenter
shop of Hull 6 Rogers and the carriage
sheds of Nash & PETER. The flames
then attacked the big Cowperwait block
The tlremen were unable to reach the
building on account of the river on one
side and the burning hat factory on The
other. 1t was destroyed.
The brown stone block of James Haw-
ley, on White street, was next dis
covered in flames. 1t was reduced to
ruins. Stiles bazaar was next attacked
and destroyed. Then the flames spread
to the Union hall block. Here the fire
was checked, but not until the Nc
Phelemy block adjoining, had been
badly damaged. The individual losses
can not be ascertained at this writing.
The loss on buildings is placed at $780,
900, and on stock 800, 900. The origin
of the fire is unknown.

MAD DOG RUNS AMuck.
DIR Axtelle Tells the Selectmen of til
Great Danger.

DIR Axtelle Tells the Selectmen of the
Great Danger.
The DEMOCRAT more than a week ago
called attention to the fact that an cpl
demic believed to be hydrophobia, had
broken out among the dogs of the Abri-
gador district. The authorities paid no
attention to the warning, believing it
was false alarm. The DEMOCRAT was
right, however, and the utmost care
must be taken to prevent the further
spread of the disease.
Late yesterday afternoon a small
Newfoundland dog ran through East
Main street, its tongue lolling, flecked
with blood and foam. Half a dozen
dogs were attacked and bitten and the
mad creature finally disappeared in the
direction of Brooklyn.
A number of dogs owned on the
Abrigador district have been killed,
having shown symptoms of rabies.
Christopher Lawlor, who lives on
Bucks hill, had two yearling heifers
killed by vicious dog Sunday evening.
DR. Axtelle called upon the selectmen
this morning and urged upon them the
necessity of ordering all dogs muzzled.
Complaints have also been made from
other sources and this afternoon an
order was issued, a copy of which will
be found in another column.
An inquiry at the town clerk office
elected the information that only $50
dogs are licensed in the town and at a
small estimate this is not one-half of the
number owned in Waterbury.

Daniel Got Square.

Daniel Dolan, young man who was
discharged from bis place as street car
driver at New Haven, took a striking
revenge Saturday evening. He drove
out to Cedar Hill on his last trip and
just beyond View street halted his
car, fixed the brake so that it could not
be opened without persevering effort,
turned the horses loose and sauntered
back to town. The passengers got out
and walked, and five crowded incoming
cars were blocked for three-quartcrs Of
an hour.

Skagit County in Good Shape to Roll
I'd Republican Majority.

LA CONNER, Oct 22-Ispecial. Tho Repub-
lican rally here last night was the finest political
demonstration this city has ever known. Hon.
John III. McGraw addressed q splendid audience
and. as he always does, made fine impression.
Republicans feel very much encouraged today
and the meeting will have much to do with the
fine majority that Is assured Tor the state ticket
here.
When Mr.. McGraw reached town he was forced
to hold an informal reception To his many warm
personal friends who called on him at the hotel.
Early in the evening q procession was formed
and marched to the hotel to escort Mr.. Mc6raw
to the hall. The procession was large one for
a town of the size of La Conner, several hundred
citizens being in line. many OF them with
torches. At several places street evoiuti0ns
were successfully performed.
The large hall was filed with q represen tative
audience that proved to be attentive and appre-
cistive. r. o. Welts, the chairman OF the even
ing. in introducing Mr.. McGraw provoked loud
applause by referring to the campaign a. ono OF
business issues aud saying it was therefore
eminen,ly proper that the Republican party OF
the state of Washington should nominate for
governor a successful business man.
When Mr.. McGraw stepped forward he was
greeted with long and hearty cheers He won
his audience at the outset by his manner. and
before be had concluded the discussion of state
issues, which took up hfty minutes, it could be
seen that he had won votes foe the ticket. His
references TO the SANDERS of the Tacoma Ledger,
the paper that flies the Republican ticket at
half mast, was greatly appreciated. and when
he said he did not have to answer the charge OF
that sheet. as the people OF King county had
given him certificate of good character by the
largest maiorities ever given any man there. the
audience yelled its appreciation, md a mighty
yes went up when some one shouted: "Wel
give him another certificate on November &"
John W. Corsol followed Mr.. McGraw and the
manner In which he exploded the Peoples
party bubble greatly delighted oil but the few
who have been so foolish as to accept the falla-
cies of the party. He also referred in an able
manner to the tariff and other great issues of
the campaign. His address was logical and 81
pleasantly aud eloquently delivered that not
single person lett the ball until be had con-
ciuded.
Mr. McGraw may have good reason to be
thankful that he came here, for today many
Republicans who have heretofore been apa-
thetic are today at work for the success OF tss
whole ticket, and he made many friends who
will not cease working for his election until tho
polls close on the evening of November s.
