PATRICK BRENNAN's HOUSE BURNED
ON SUNDAY NIGHT.

On Sunday nighttime residents of the
Street were aroused by bright re-
flection on the sky in the direction of
Hawleyville. L. G. Morris and w. A.
Leonard started out to locate the fire.
They found it was the residence of
Patrick Brennan, who lives near the
Tunnel. The fire started about $40,
and it seems to have started from a
defective flue, as the roof was all afire
before Mr. Brennan knew anything
aboutIit. Many of their friends came
to their assistance but the house could
not be saved. They we're able to save
the barn and other outbuildings and
also the barn of Patrick Ready, which
caught fire several times. They saved
very few of the house furnishings.
The insurance was carried by Brennan
is in the Leonard agency 5000 on house
and $500 on the furniture. THE BEE
understands that Mr. Brennan will
build again on the same site.

The freshet of Monday did consid-
cradle damage to roads. In Sandy
Hook small river poured down the
road from the watering trough to Tay-
lor's hotel, tearing out big hole in
front of the Methodist church and
down past TaylOr's hotel. Below Mrs
William Terrilis the water did dam
age and Mr. Reilley's walk was torn out
and his lawn damaged. If the road
contractors would pay a little more
attention to the sluices in the early
spring and late in the fall, much of the
trouble would be averted. While the
flood was in progress in Sandy Hook it
was proposed that Stage Driver Haw-
ley start navigation between the De-
pot and the Hook, using flat bottom
boats to transport his passengers.

an appropriation tucked on the next
River and Harbor bill. How does this

The Hartford Courant treated ex-
haustively, the other day, the question
of the Consolidated road and the Tar
the Legislature. The Courant gave
some unanSwerable arguments. Why
should Connecticut legislators pass a
measure to benefit a Massachusetts
city and likely to injure Connecticut's
chief metropolis? There is no crying
need in business way for this Tariff
vile extension. The Consolidated is
big corporation to be sure, but it
pays big share of Connecticut's taxes
and is largely Connecticut institu-
ton. The Connecticut Western has
been almost bankrupt road and a
good many people regard this move as
measure to compel the Consolidated
to buy it out at a fancy price. The
prevents the completion of the Spring
| field branch, and at present holds the
trump card. Then, too, the city of
| Hartford has say. They claim to
have put several hundred thousand
dollars into the road, and they very
properly don't like the idea of turning
Western Connecticut trade into
Springfield. We believe the best in
terests of Connecticut will be conserv
ed by standing by the Consolidated.
