Fire Broke Out at Dead of Night Discovered
by Rail, oad Operators.

destroyed by fire early this morning.
The building was discovered to- be on
fire about 2:3O o'clock by e. A. Brownell

reported at once to the headquarters
of the railroad company at Boston,
and an engine was placed at Bolton to
look after the railroad company's prop
erty, which is in great peril.
1t looked as if the whole Notch"

are all in a group, but by united efforts
of neighbors, who formed a bucket
brigade, the buildings, with the excep-
ton of the hotel, We're saved. The orr
gin of the fire is unknown. The loss is
$1,000; partly insured.

A FIELD TELEPHONE,
The Naval Militia Has Introduced New
Thing in Target Practice.

The members of the naval militia are
making good marksmen. OF the seventy
men in the first division forty have al
ready qualified Lawyer Edward G.
auckland, lieutenant, junior grade, has
introduced a field telephone at the
Westville range, which is a departure
in target practice. But this little de-
vice, which costs only $25, it is expected
will save more than it's costs in am
munition.
1t is on the principle of the so-cal1ed
notch telephone, and Mr. Buckland's
arrangement is portable, consisting of
a reel of wire and two of these tele-
phones.
1t was first used the other day, rem
dering communication easy between the
marksmen and an instructor stationed
behind the target. This man can note
the aim of the marksmen and correct
any error in their sight, so that the
man firing can readily adjust his sight
to the target.

THE WOMAN IN BLACK.

Few Know

Few Know,
1t now appears that those curious
as to the identity Of the mysterious
Austrian woman who has caused so
much conjecture in the city during the
past few days will not be gratified by
learning details as those who are 'in
it, have announced that they will bring
no action in the case, nor reveal the OBJ
ject of the woman's coming, as the
matter has been settled satisfactorily
to interested parties. Many stories con-
corning the woman and her business
in New Haven have been printed, but
none of these can be substantiated
as the only ones who know her story
are Agent Preston, the city attorney
and one or two others, who will give
no details of the affair.

FIRST HEAVY ARTILLERYMEY.
First Bounty Claim From Meriden Unde
the New Law,

IHe new Law.
Meriden, July 30.-The first man to
present a claim against the town of
Meriden under the recent bounty act
passed by the legislature, providing
that any soldier who did not receive
the bounty offered by the towns for
enlistment, may now apply for it, was
James Bloomingdale, who appeared in
person at the selectmens office this
morning.
Bloomingdale claims that he enlisted
at South Meriden in the First Connec-
ticut Cavalry, Company A, and never
received cent of bounty. The records
of the adjutant generals office show
that he was accredited to the town OF
Pomfret, and Selectman Kline takes
the position that the town of Meriden
is not liable to pay bounty except tc
soldiers enlisting and being accredited
to the quota of Meriden.

SMALL HOPE FOR THE BAwNMORE
III the Good Weather Continues the
Cargo MAY BE saved

Marshfield, Or, Aug. 3o.-The British
ship Bawnmore, which ran ashore We'd
nesday morning about o'clock during
heavy fog. fourteen miles south of the
mouth of the Couuille river. has not
changed her position during the last TWEEN
fy-four hours. Her cargo consisted Of |, 900
tons of coal. about 1.50o tons of merchan-
disc, and several steam launches and cleo
trio street cars. She lies broadside to the
sea. with her head TO the south and
heavy list TO starboard According 10 the
captains reckoning she should have been
twenty miles off shore when she struck
the beach. Capt. woodside's impression
is that the metal IN the electric cars, which
were loaded on deck near the pilot house
caused a variation in the compass which
threw him out of his course. The sea was
very smooth when the ship struck, and
Capt. Woodside thought that by throwing
of part Of his cargo and tightening her
al the stern he world be enabled to float
her off. He therefore threw off thirty
tons OF -four and a number of the cleo
trio cars, but the crew saw 1t was of no
use, and took 10 the boats, all reaching
shore, which was about zoo feet from the
shin. The captain says that II he had
had assistance when he first struck the

gotten off with very little damage. but.
