The Chef Came Back.

A party of young men had an ex- citing experience on the sound yester- day which they will not soon forget. There were three of them, Jacques De 'Morrisey chef de cuisine at Arfmanns cafe and Messrs. Walsh and Smith of Ansonia. They embarked in sharpie and started for cruise down the sound. When off Woodmont the sharpie struck a heavy sea and over went the boat. The occupants were all thrown into the water, but they hung on the boat and luckily the wind was on shore and they soon drifted into shallow water, where the vessel was righted and the three wet, drenched and luckless mariners started on homeward trip, having seen enough of the horrors of a seafaring life.

Sundays Fire.
March so.

An alarm of fire was rung in at P.
M, Sunday. from box OF, near Weber
81 Cages mill, for q fire in the tenement
on the Bond brook road, owned by B. L.
Parrott q Co., and occupied by Fred
Chamberlain, who drives team for this
firm.
The furniture was taken out but was
considerably damaged. 1t is thought that
the fire originated around the chimney
upstairs, as most of the fire seemed to be
in that portion Of the house.
There not being any bell clapper in the
hose company house ON the Heights, and
tho wind being in the opposite direction,
the members of that company did not
hear the alarm and it was after the down
town companies had arrived that they
knew Of the fire. The driver Of the hose
wagon for the Atlantic company had one
of his legs damned in the extension ladder
by it slipping. The building was gutted
and the loss will be about $500, insured in
Macombers agency One of the occupants
of the house that fed from disaster was a

small dog had heaps Of fun with.
