Officer "Al" Gates of Station No. 9 made a clever stop of a pair of horses attached to heavy beer truck Saturday afternoon. The horses were attached to one of the Quinnipiac Brewing company's trucks and started on mad run down State street. Officer Gates was some where in the rear when they started, but he ran after them and clambered in over the tailboard of the wagon, and seizing the lines brought the horses to standstill. He then drove them back to the place from which they had started. The act was applauded by many who witnessed it. It showed quickness, agility and skill and de serves COmmendatiOn

ORIGIN OF THE FIRE NOT FOUND.

H The Automatic sprinkler of No Avail A Large Brick Building to Replace the Burned Factory - Thousands Visit the Ruins Yesterday.
 Investigations were made yesterday to find out the cause of the fire which re- suited in the loss of the large carriage shop of Holcomb Bros. & Go. on River street, just beyond the Quinnipiac river, on Saturday night, but nothing has been found as to the cause of the confagration. The fire lasted from o'clock Saturday night until o'clock Sunday morning, but engines were stationed there till daylight. The automatic sprinkler worked all right, but the fire was too hot to be put out by it. The loss is placed by MT. H. S.. Holcomb at $100.000. The insurance is $50, 900, two-thirds of which is placed through Charles E. Wilson & Go. 6 agency, and the rest with H. 0. Warren & Go.
 The men at work in the shop suffered most in proportion to their means. There were between thirty and forty at work there, each having a kit of tools worth about $100 with no insurance. The shop was used only for making the body and wheels of the carriages, the remainder of the work being done at the firms mammoth new shops on Water street.
 A new building will soon be put up al Grapevine Point, made of brick and con. siderably larger than the one burned, but whether on the same site at the Point ol not is not yet decided.
 The firemen worked with great energy but were hampered from lack of sufficient water supply to combat so fierce fire Chief Kennedy was indefatigable. and wal ably assisted by Assistant Chief Hubbard the latter's first appearance as assistan chief at large fire. MT. Hubbard's lone expenrience in fighting fires in New Ha ven and his other qualifications rende him a valuable man.
 The fremen succeeded in saving tn neighboring buildings, some of whicl were in close proximity, and the fire was hot one. Hundreds went out to see tn i. blaze, and at least 1000 people visited tn ruins yesterday.
 Yesterday morning ill poking over th ashes one of the fremen discovered
 small blaze which made him hustle fo owhile, but he soon subdued it.

 AsCERTAINED LAST EVENING.
 Among the employees who lost tools by the fire was Lawrence Curtis, for fifteen years past en- ployed at the shop, who had fully $500 worth, no insurance. MT. Curtis had a brougham body nearly completed and was burned, but he may receive pay for the work done upon 1t, as was done at the shop about ten years ago when some of the carriage bodies were burned ct the fire at the shop at that time; MT. Curtis was just pre- pairing to take trip to the old country, but may have to defer it. He is the oldest body maker at the Holcomb shop. Among others who lost tools were Daniel J. Crowley, who had just finish ed his first job at the shop and drawn his pay for it, MT. Barrett, MT. Mitchell, Mir. Adams, MT. Cassock, who lost a fine chest of tools and George L. Curtis, foreman of the wood shop, who also lost excellent kit. There was an immense quantity of stock nearly com: peted at the shop-nearly ready to be sent to the Franklin street factory, and nearly all of i. was ordered work: There was any quantity of wheel stock-spokes, rims, etc.. at the shop nearly all of which was burned, The streams of water poured on the fire seemed to have but lit tie effect upon the conaagration. The fire origi mated in the fire room, it is thought It is possi ble that the firm may rebuild at Franklin street in connection with its present big factory.

ADDITIONAL POINTS.

Two buildings near the main factory were con-
 siderably damaged. One of them is two-story
 drying house of brick, the other frame build
 ing. If there had been much breeze the fire
 would almost surely have swept to Chapel street,
 destroying number of dwellings, On the corner
 of James and Chapel streets Is the three-story
 brick tenement block owned by B. Manville. The
 next building east is owned by Mr. Brennan, the
 next by Patrick Brinley, and the further one by
 Mir. Mooney. These buildings were within fifty feet of the f1re and as the flame from the south, @ little more wind would have swept them away. Several of the tenants moved out their effects.
 The big water tank which fed the automatic sprnklers stood alone nearly fifty feet from the roof, and resisted the onsweeping flame almost to the last, finally falling with crash; but the biggst crash came when one of the tall chim neys fell.
 The factory for manufacturing carriage parts on River and James streets, and owned by H. G. Shepard & Co.,, is within fifty feet of the ruins At a time it seemed as if this three-stoFy frame building must go but the roof was wet down by hose on the premises and the factory was saved Steamer was 500 feet or more away from the East Pearl street engine house before the alarm from box 72 was struck, the starting of the automatic sprinklers at the factory having sounded still alarm in the engine house. While all the f1renen rendered good service, the steam CT remained at 4:45 yesterday morning playing on the ruins until the last vestige of fire was ex l tinguished.
 The factory gave employment to about 100 mer l and work was rushing.
