Factory Gong Nuisance-Sand Lot Has an
 Owner at Last-E. c. Booth In n Critical Condition-Lectureb by Rev. MT. Rlchard- son-T.A B. Fair Opens This Evening. The entire fire department was called out about one o'clock yesterday morning by an alarm sounded by the factory gongs for barn burning over in Middlefeld. The fire men and others are justly indignant over being repeatedly reused out of their beds at all hours in the night by alarms sounded by the factory gongs for fires that are Ill neighboring towns, and It is about time that the watchmen In the various factorles purpose they must blow their gongs.. The owned by Charles F: Lynn, in the @ part of 6s horn co tained over 100 tons of hay, and It IS thought by MT. Lynn that the fire resulted from spontaneous combustion. Those night owls who have to patrol the factories dur Ing, the night are supposed to keep awake and are paid for so doing, but the most of the people in the town go to bed at a sea- sGnnele hour and expect to tooa get good Sd fire in Cheshire, Merden, Mlddlefleld, Northford, or New Haven. One watchman sounded the alarm for fire up the road which proved to be q headlight on an ap- preaching locomotive.
 Now that Il claimant for ownership of the sand lot south of Pine hill has been found 1t would be well, as there has been quite a value established on the property, for the assessors to enter the name on the tax list and collect the taxes for several years past on the property. There seems to be peculiarity about the papers drawn in the attachment suit against the contractors, Lathrop X Shea. The sand lot in question is claimed to be part and parcel of the property known as the Pine hill land, ana the land of A. D. Futile, south and west on the highway, containing twenty-one acres, more or less.
