This City.
NAUGATUcK. July 25.-One of the
most disastrous fires that ever occurred
in the town broke out last night about
10 o'clock in the Andrews block. The
fire, without a doubt, originated from
the bake oven used by Miss Sanford,
who occupied portion of the store of
+. Miller & Sons, florists, as a bakery
and confectionery on a small scale.
South of this building extended coal
sheds to within about TWENTY-FIVE feet of
one of the Glove Co.'S large factories,
known as the coat shop. These sheds
burned like finder and endangered the
factory so much that Chief Champion
directed his effort TO suppress the fire at
that end. In the meantime the fire was
burning out the upper stories over Mill
ers and {. +. Anyrews shoe store, find
ing its way between the beams into the
upper story of John NJ. Page * Co.'S
mammoth store reaching a space under
the roof where there was no possibility
Of placing water until it burned
through. In this upper story in a room
| about 20 by 80 feet in dimensions vas
| situated the Valley Advocate printing
| office of Perry y Alling, who moved
| there short time ago and had neg
| leCtCd to transfer their insurance. Their
| loss is said to be s. 600. Over the shoe
| store were two teusments, one occupied
/ by Miss NJ. +, Durham. a dressmaker,
| who loses not only all her worldly
| goods, but considerable dress goods be
/ longing to others. The other apart
| ment was occupied by Charles Andrews,
| who has ar insurance Of 81 900 on his
| household goods and ST. 900 on the stock
| in the store below, which were heavily
| damaged by water; the building was
| also insured. The large building occu-
pied by j, NJ. Page Il Co, whD had one
Of the finest stocks to be found in the
state. besides 100 stoves in storage in
the upper story, lost heavily by fire on
the two upper stories and by water be
low. The actual damage to the stock
| will not be less than Sl5 900. Both the
Andrews estate and Page & Co wert
fully insured. The fire was got under
control about 1870. The fire department

DODGEVIILE. Mass. July % The
New York mail train that left Boston at
1910 O'Clock this morning collided with
a freight car upon a siding here and
was badly wrecked. The mail train
was going at the rate of forty miles an
hour. The result of the smash was
most disastrous. One man was killed
and two were injured so they will prob
ably die.
1t appears that no one except the men
who laid the road bed can he blamed for
the accident. The freight had
drawn up on the crossing safely rs
every one thought, but one car tipped
over toward the main tracks and wher
the mail came along it struck it. The
engine struck the train first and the cal
was nearly taken off. Then the first
mail car rushed on and was party un
rooted. This caused the smash.

WIIIIMANTIC, July 35.-A fire which
caused heavy damage broke out about
4 o'clock this morning in the show
window of Pease & Edwards dry goods
store on Main street. The fire had been
burning quite little time before IL was
discovered and bid fair to destroy the
entire building. The fire department,
however. succeeded in quickly quench-
ing the flames and confined the fire to
one corner Of the building. The stock
in the store is practically ruined, the
loss being estimated by the firm at $15.-
900, with an insurance OF 5000. 1t is
supposed that the fire was started by an
explosion of gas. For some time 1t has
heen known that there was 9 leaky gas
pipe IN the store, but no effort had been
made to repair it.
