BUILDING ON GREEN.
Plans Have Been Prepared and Are in
 Hands of Committee.


 At meeting of the committee ap
 pointed by the Business Mems asSocla- tion to report relative to the advisabil- ity of asking permission to construct temporary buildings on the green for the accommodation of merchants who have been burned out, held last night in the office of Dr Anderson in the Mill ford building on Center street, sketches prepared by Tracy Bros were shown for seventeen stores, seven on either side of the green, running from North Main street to q point near the band stand, and three on North Main street. each twenty-five feet wide and seventy feet deep. They are to be built be- tween each row of trees, one story high, of freproof material, with smoke stack high enough to carry smoke away without any possible chance of injuring the trees. The plans for water and sewer connections are very satisfactory. The buildings would cost about $15.000 and could be put up in thirty days. The plans will be sub- mitted to the Business Mems associa- tfon at a meeting to be held in the banquet hall at Odd Fellows building tonight The plan suggested to raise the building fund is to get several par ties to make up the money and collect it later from those who would occupy the stores. While it may not be de- cided to adopt this plan, still many consider 1t wise move It is said that it would be the means of giving us better permanent structures in place of the ones wiped out, because the hurry in getting them ready would not be s9 great if the merchants were doing business on the green as it will be if they should be here and there in small stores. It is also said that 1t would prevent the driving out of small merchants to accommodate the big fel-

For some reason or other considera- ble interest centers around the ruins of the Scovill house building. While 1t is not thought that anybody is buried under the debris, there appears to be no doubt that Yaluables of one kind and another lie hidden there, and probably this fact has something to do fn attracting people to the spot.

''It told the story of the fire in very creditable manner and in talking of losses and other things made no dis continuation between merchants who had been advertising In the paper and those who had not. Neither did it try to enlarge upon things nor show 8 dienosition to find fault with the ef- forts of the firamen to extinguiSh the flames or hint that anything was lack ing on the part Of the police officers. the militia or anybody else.

Work of Removing Safes
 Watched By Crowds.
Visitors From Neighboring Towns
 Throng The Streets.

Many visitors viewed the ruins to- day, and it is thought that large num- bers will come in on the cars to-mor- row, though so far nothing has been done towards running special trains. The Naugatuck road will run the regu- lar trains in two sections. The local authorities are making preparation to look out for the proper protection of property. While most of those who will visit the place will be slghtseers and will need no watching, still there will be many here for other purposes, so that 1t would be well to guard against pickpockets and sneak thieves, for 1t is sure that they will be on hand and will ply their game in the big crowd.

ing His Fathers Chickens.
 Anton H. Muller. masseur who has his office at 65 Bank street, had rather exciting experience last night about 12 o'clock. About that time he was returning to his home, rear of D Ward street. He was walking around to the rear entrance of the house when he met q man at the cor ner of the house. Another man Ees sitting on fence nearby. Dr Mul- Ter at once suspected that they were chicken thieves and were about to make raid upon the chickens owned by his parents. He threw off his coat and attempted to capture one of them. But before he advanced many steps a stone flew towards him, which miss ed his head by few inches. The stone went through a window. The next moment pr Muller was lyingfiat ground. A brick struck him in the left side and he was knocked almost into insensibility. He cried for help, but no one heard him. He finally sue, ceeded in creeping on his hands and knees into the house. Dr Kelly was summoned and on investigation he found that one rib had been broken. The same rib was caved in about six months ago, when Dr Muller was thrown from a team while driving to Waterville. Dr Muller expects to be able to attend to his duties again in a few days. The chicken thieves esq capped.

febr1ary ?. 1902. DreariIy fell the Sabbath eve As the lowering storm cloud came; Yet Peace was there, nor knew that Fate In the whIrling blast stood at the gate in seething sFroud of flame. Oh wofuI nightl The evening chimes Were pealing their call to God, When the Demon of Wrath smote the heavy air, And breathed OCT the head of the city fair. The warnine, ,-spass under the rcd". Harkl How the frenzied bells repeat The fireman's call to armsi- What terror breathes in the frantic notes That madly leap from their frightened throats In hurrying, wild alarms. How Nature wept and sobbed and grieveo As the mad reveiIIe beat; How the fierce wind howled in fendiSa play. As the suffering city writhing lay At the gIowering Demons feet. Oh. the struggle for life that awful night How nobIy they fought, and well; Mid swirling smoke, the flames reveal The sinews of brass and nerves of steel That battle the waves of hell. What thanks we owe, God only knows To the men of the ladder and reel, Who needed the suffering citys call And offered their strength, their lives. then all, In answer to her appeal. The struggle is o'er, the city lies Like tired child at rest; hut Lhoenix-like from deaths dark hour Shall rise new vigor and vire power, Ana lalth that God knows best.

Made Visit to Her Son, Who Is Ill
 at Dr Warren's School.
 Groton, Mass, Feb 9.-There was no change noted in the condition of the son of President Roosevelt during the night, and Dr Warren, the Groton school physician, on his visit to the pa- tient early this morning, found him, as on last evening, as comfortable as could be expected.
 This was a busy morning at Groton school, not only because of the neces- sfty of attending to communications with the president by wire, but also because Mrs Roosevelt was to be re ceived at the institution during the forenoon, and because those students who did not, leave yesterday are mak. ing ready to get away to-day, the school sessions having been suspended for two weeks on account of prevailing conditions.
 The same rigid care was shown yes terday connected with the school. not to talk about the case of young Roose- velt was maintained to-day Those outside who have some acquaintance with the institution were advised that no particular change had been noted in the patient, who Is in the first stages or pneumonia. Doctors say that under favorable conditions he will hardly show great improvement before to- morrow or the next day. If there is no change for the worse in that time 1t Is said the chances will be good for him to be out of bed within q week or ten days. It is expected that the ar rival of the boys mother will have q very beneficial effect.
 3 At the office of the school this morn ing there was no time for interviews. President Peabody and his assistants were attending to mass of business arising from the Sndden suspension of the classes and the departure of stu dents. The telephone was in almost constant use. the line usually not very full was not only crowded to its ca pacity. but calls piled up until there was long waiting list
