the allowance for the citizen of the
Gaited States and Canada. and it was
looked upon as being as fixed as the
laws CT the Modes and Persians. but
an UP town restaurant man states that
4 great number of New Workers are no
longer satisfied With the regulation
three meals a day. Four meals are
now asked for. breakfast, lunch, din
ner and supper. The last is no doubt
supertluous for those who can and do
make three hearty meals out of the
others, but there must be many who
will learn with pleasure that it is no
longer incumbent upon them to go
''supperless to their bed" The idea
that indigestion may be caused by the
introduction of the fourth meal is alb

RUNAWAY FREIGHT CAR.

Crashed Into Foundry in Branford.
 Branford, Conn.,, Nov. 12.-A runa- way freight car crashed into the brick foundry of the Malleable Iron Fittings company near the station here this morning, demolishing the building and taking almost complete possession of the interior so that the men working at the benches had narrow escape.
 The car was being kicked onto siding by the engine of an east bound freight One car stood on the siding and the second was given an extra shove down hill. The rails were slippery and att tempts to stop the car failed. It struck the first car, which lessened its mo- mentum, but sent the car already on the siding at a rapid rate down the hill The car jumped the bumper and headed direct for the foundry.
 One of the men in the foundry saw the car approaching and gave the alarm just in time or half dozen of the employees would have been crushed. The car is still in the foundry and the cupola is destroyed so that the iron working Is suspended.
 The amount of the damage will be several hundred dollars.

A BAD FIRE IN TWISTED.
The Opera House Burned and the Loss

 Winsted Nov. 12-Damage by fire, smoke and water. which is estimated at about 50,00O was caused this morn ing by a fire which broke out shortly before 9 o'clock on the stage of the Winsted opera house. The theater was gutted, stores and offices in the struc- ture were more or less damaged by the flames, while In the Wetmore block ad- jacent, in which was located the main postoffice, the occupants suffered losses entirely due to smoke and water. The opera house Is located in a four story i brick structure at the corner of Main and Elm streets in the heart of the borough, Adjacent to the east is a similar four story building of brick, known as the Wetmore block. 1 Smoke was seen issuing from the stage doors and windows shortly before 9 o'clock this morning, and when at $50 an alarm was rung ill the flames had gained good headway. A general alarm followed and the flremen soon had seven streams of water flowing. Shortly after the general alarm the fire seemed to take on alarming propor- tions, and at 9:30 it was feared that surrounding buildings would become ignited and disastrous confagration result
 Shortly after il o'clock, however, the fire was under control. The theater proper, as stated above, was gutted. The other tenants in the opera house building, which is owned by the Music Hall company, were: William H. Mills, Baldwin & Moffatt, grocers; Harry Ov- erton, harness maker, and three private offices. Mills and Persons were the heaviest losers.
 The flames did not communicate to the Wetmore block, but considerable damage was done by smoke and water. The contents of the postofice were hurriedly removed to station A. with out loss; Harry Howe, dealer in shoes, D. V. OConnell, pool room, and three families on the upper stories were slight losers by damage due to smoke and water.
 The fire had evidently been shoulder ing since midnight, "The Gamekeep- er' was presented at the opera house | last night, and the company's baggage was removed between Il D. m and . It is surmised that the fire with a cigar, cigarette or Q lighted match
