Mr.. and Mrs. Julian F. Wade of the

exander Cooke. She passed away sud
denly after an illness of only fourteen
hours. The family formerly lived on
Howard avenue and the deceased was

moved to Pittsfield and upon the death
of her husband Mrs. Cooke went to Cal
ifornia to make her home.
The residence of Herbert Barnes, $50
Quinnipiao avenue, came near being
destroyed by fire early Tuesday even
ing. During the day plumber had
been repairing the steam heating ap-
paratus. The boiler is supplied with
water automatically, but in making the
repairs the apparatus was deranged and
the water boiling out, the boiler became
overheated and set the floor above it on
fire. When Mr.. Barnes returned home
about 5 o'clock he discovered smoke In
the house, and upon investigating found
that the floor above the basement was
being charred. Holes were cut in the
floor and about two hundred pals of
water were poured into the basement
before the fire was subdued. Several
neighbors kindly assisted Mr. Barnes.
When the holes were cut the smoke
filed the house, almost overcoming the
fire fighters. Mr.. Barnes says that II
there had been delay of ten minutes
in discovering the fire his residence
would have been entirely destroyed.
The actual damage was only about
$3.50.
