A SPLENDID IDEA.

Temporary Building to be Erected for
 Use at the Prom
 Although not as yet definitely settled, it is quite likely that there will be a dif- ferent arrangement in the matter of serving refreshments to the guests at the junior promenade than heretofore, For several years past it has been cus- tomary to have the catering done on the second floor of the armory in the com pany rooms at each end near the gall leries. This matter of having to run up and down stairs has caused great in convenience to the fair guests as well as to the men in attendance. This years promenade committee proposes that their guests shall have every com fort possible and have inaugurated sev- eral new schemes in furtherance of this idea. The most important of these is one in regard to the matter of catering. Plans have been made for the erection of temporary building In the yard alongside of the armory near Whiting street. The building, being on the same floor with the armory and easily reach ed by large side door, would prove an admirable one for serving the refresh ments and facilitate the same to very great degree. There is a space about one hundred feet square which can be used.
 It is also understood that the decora- tions this year are to be quite different from those of former years, but their exact nature cannot be learned.

ASSAULTED VIII A CLUB
By Daring Burglars in Norwich--A
 Exciting Adventure.

By Daring Burglars in Norwich-An
 Exciting Adventure.
 Norwich, Dec. 19,-A daring attempt at robbery was made early Sunday eve ming at the residence of Nathan D.. Whiting on Benjamin street, and the discovery of the burglars by MT. Whit ing resulted in vicious assault upon him, after which the miscreants made their escape.
 About 6:S0 o'clock MT. Whiting re- turned home after drive and noticed a light in the house. Satisfied that bur- glars were at work, he went in at the front door and met two men in the hall. He grappled with one of them and the other struck him blow with a club on the back of the head.
 Mr. Whiting was obliged to release his hold of the first man and both made good their escape. MT. Whiting re- ceived a bad cut on the head, although the wound is not serious one. In the struggle hanging lamp was smashed. The men left their hats behind them in their flight.
 Search in the house showed that the fellows had ransacked the house, al- though nothing was missed, except a gold ring. Everything was in confusion, in the bedrooms bureau drawers being pulled out and the contents scattered about The men had evidently been at work for some time before they were discovered.
 The police were notified and have been on the lookout for the two men. MT Whiting described them as young men not over thirty years old, both smooth face and slim in build. At mid night no clue had been found as to their whereabouts.

YESTERDAYS FIRE.

Blaze in Barn Started in an Unknown
 Manner
 The fire at 3:30 yesterday afternoon was in an unoccupied barn on Mansfield street, near Sachem, and the property of the Ketchum estate. The flames were confined to cupola and conse- quently the damage is only about $50. Its origin is a mystery, but 1t is be- lieved that squirrels and sparrows who have inhabited the cupola for some time past used matches among other things in the construction of their nests and in some way ignited one of the matches.
 The fire department quickly respond cd to an alarm from box 54 and did very efficient work.
