LOSS 5000,
Small Fire In the Claffey Homestead
ON East Main Street.

Small Fire in the Claffey Homestead
on East Main Street.
An alarm sent out from box Is at the
junction of Cherry and East Main
streets, called out the fire department at
1890 this morning. The fire was in the
Claffey homestead at the corner of
Brown and East Main streets, in the
apartments occupied by James Cana
van and his family. The family occupied
several rooms in one of the. tenements in
the house. The fire started in a closet
in a small bedroom off the kitchen, and
consumed a greater portion of the room
before an alarm was given.
The fire companies responded with
their usual promptness and succeeded
in combining the flames to the room.
When they arrived at the scene they
started to connect the hose with the
hydrant at the junction of East Main
and North Elm streets, but the sudden
force of water broke the lower portion
of the hydrant, rendering it useless.
Connections were promptly made with
the hydrants on Brown street.
The location of the fire was such that
many think it was the work of an in
cendiary. John and James Cavanaugh,
aged respectively 10 and years, say
that man ran into the house and set It
on fire. The boys were excited when
they told their story and many doubt
its truthfulness. The loss from the
blaze will be less than 5000.
Chief Snagg believes that the fire was
kindled by boys playing with matches.

NEW ENGLAND ROAD MATTERS.
False Stories In Circulation In Regard
to Salaries.


to Salaries.
Stories were sent out from Boston
yesterday to the effect that a ten Der
cent cut would be made in the wages of
the employees of the New York & New
England railroad, beginning next week.
The remark was made that the engi-
neers and firemen would not bear this
cut and the result would be general
tie-up.
Late last night came the following
dispatch from Boston:
Regarding the published report that
strike was inevitable on the New
York & New England road because of
the reduction of wages in the salaries of
clerks, engineers and firemen, General
Manager Mellen said to-day: There is
not the slightest truth in this report.
The question of reducing the salaries of
any employees of the road has never
been discussed, and l don't believe it
ever will be. We have been reducing
the force and making changes, but that
is all. can't conceive who it is that
clrculates these false storles.' In con-
versation with several clerks it was
learned that there was no dissatisfaction
in the company's offices, nor was there
any cut in salaries expected.

EDWARD DOYLE TALKS.
Tells of the Terrible Ordeal Through
which He Passed.


y which He Passed.
Edward Doyle, of $40 Baldwin street,
who met with a shocking accident at
the works of the Benedict &--Bulnham
Manufacturing Co, on February 10, by
which he lost his arm, left the hospital
to-day. He is still weak, but looks well
for on who passed through such! a
terrible ordeal.
This afternoon Mr. Doyle called at the
DEMOCRAT Office and desired to have
made public his gratitude and thanks to
the Benedict & Burnham Co, the ma
tron and nurses at the hospital and DR.
Benedict, for the treatment he received
at their hands.
In speaking Of the accident he said he
was not oiling the shafting when 1T oc
CURED, as announced at the time, but
was standing on a ladder adjusting a
belt. When his left arm was caught he
retained his presence of mind and seiz-
ing an electric wire with his
other hand held on until his
arm was torn off between the
wrist and elbow. 1t was an awful
moment, but the mans nerve and
presence of mind undoubtedly saved his
life, for had he been whirled around the
shsfting he would have been ground to
pieces against the ceiling. After losing
his arm he walked unassisted down the
ladder. He was perfectly conscious, but
for time was stone blind. His sight
returned, however. But for his empty
sleeve he will be all right in "a few
weeks.
