conveyed to the can, which was just in- side the workshop, by means Of sy- phon.
 Two men were in charge of the work, when suddenly a blaze tiared up, burn ing one of them, a clerk named John Cronan. He was on the outside Of the shop and lost but little time in getting away from the flames. He was badly burned about the face and hands. One of the attendants called out the alarm to Patrolman Bart Daily, who sent in the alarm from box 26, at the corner of Union and Chapel streets. The lire department quickly responded to the call, and the blaze was extinguished before it got much headway. The dam- age to Sheahan & Groarks building is estimated at $2O0. To the Home dining rooms the damage, which was occa- stoned by water, will be about $lOO.
 Neither of the men who were said to be working at the gasoline could give any explanation as to how the fire happened Truckman Timlin was bad ly burned about the head and face in trying to extinguish the fire.

A SAD REFLECTION.

The many friends of MT. T. c. Trefry, the druggist on State street, corner of Edwards. and his estimable wife will deeply sympathize with them, owing to the critical illness of one of their children. Their little daughter, Pearl, aged about five years, was taken ill two or three days ago. The illness de- veloped into diphtheria and it was soon seen that the case was of a very seri- ous nature She has been attended by Dr. Marvin w. Smith, Dr. Wright and Dr. s. D. Gilbert in consultation, and everything possible was done for her, but at a late hour last evening the case was pronounced hopeless, the little suf- ferer's case being beyond medical help. Only about four weeks ago MT. Tref- rvs elder daughter was ill with the same dread disease, and for several days her case was critical but at last she rallied and recovered.

YESTERDAY IN THE COURTS
HEARING ON THE DEMURRER BY ROBERT E. BALDWIN,

The Late c. II. Pierpont Represented as
 Insolvent-Max Kamcn's Assignment
 c. II. Miller's Demurrer Overruled by
 Judge Hotchkiss-Prosecute by Insur-
 ance Commissioner Betts.
 Arguments were made yesterday af- ternoon in the superior court on the de- murrer to the information made by Philip Hugo last week, citing Robert E. Baldwin in court on writ of quo war ranto to show cause why he (Baldwin) held the office of town agent from the said Philip Hugo, who, as information averred, had been elected first select man, and in consequence of said cleo tion was the proper person to exercise the duties of town agent. Jacob F. Goodhart and John w. filling, counsel for MT, Baldwin, held that there was no declaration of Hugo's election made by the moderator That a writ of quo warranto did not hold in the case, and also that the information was insutfi- cient. They held that MT Hugo's rem edy was not in a writ of quo Warranto. EX-Congressman Pigott for MT. Hugo contended that it was not the province of his client to petition the court as suggested by the counsel for the other side. Mr. Hugo had been declared first selectman. It was not question of ti- tie. The other side admitted that their client had usurped the office, but they also said that Hugo's title to the office was not clear This had nothing to do with the case. The information showed that the moderator had made the returns of the election, which show ed that Mir. Hugo, his client, had re- ceived the plurality of votes over all the persons voted for, for the office of first selectman.
 Judge Shumway reserved his deci- sion.
 APPLICATION FOR RECEIVER.

many SalVes on sale will afford tenn
porary relief. If the case is of long
