TERRIBLE ACCIDENT IN NAueu Uck

 Woman and Child Burned to Death Last
 Night.
 Harry Roberts, his wife and two children occupy house near Hoadley's grove in Naugatuck. To enable both to work in the shoe factory a woman named Mary Munroe, belonging to Wa terbury, was hired to look out for the house and children during the day. Last evening at o'clock the whistles sounded an alarm of fire in the first dis trict, which proved to be in Roberts house. The first to arrive there found the mattress and bedding on fire. On the bed, with a bottle beside her, lay the housekeeper, while an eight year old girl lay on the floor dead, her body burned to a crisp. The body lay be- tween the. knees of the housekeeper, who was also burned so badly that she died at 4 o'clock this morning. The supposition is that the woman was on the bed and that the girl attempted to start a fire, or while playing with matches, ignited her clothing and ran through the rooms setting the curtains on fire, and grasped the housekecper for protection.

A Great Scare.

Saturday night the citizens of this
city were greatly alarmed when they
were awakened by the cry of fire and it
was discovered to be in the feed room
back of viii Gross & Co.'S store The
extreme dry weather we have been
having the past season has made all
frame buildings nothing more than
kindling for the flames Had there
been any wind that night the little start
the fire had would soon been famed
beyond control. Those present realized
the danger the business houses were in
and everyone turned in helping hand
and the fire was soon under control.
The chemical engine or what is better
known as the ''Soda Fountain was soon
on the grounds and did its share toward
extinguishing the fire. The storeroom
contained flour, feed, pals, tubs, baskets,
&c. to the amount of about 800. The
origin of the fire is unknown but 1t is
supposed that some one in passing threw
away cigar stub which set the fire.
The loss is fully covered by insurance.
This event we hope will prove a
valuable lesson to our city fathers and
that they will not delay the matter of
supplying the city with some fire pro-
lection. Neglect in this respect may
prove very expensive to some of our
citizens. 1t is unnecessary for us to say
more.
