last night. There has been more or
less disorder about the streets, but
police are very active and the militia
is Of great service in handling the
crowds. The streets were piled with
household goods and strewn with
small articles thrown from windows
Some of this property was confscated
by passers-by, but the amount of
thieving is small compared with the
opportunities offered by the confu-
sion. The number injured was very
small and in all but one or two cases
the injuries were slight. The streets
are rapidly being cleared.
Waterbury, Conn, Feb. 4.--For ten
hours Sunday night and yesterday
morning flames famed by a high
wind held sway over the business por-
ton of the city, causing a loss to ex-
coed $3,000,000 The best business
portion of the city covering an area
of four acres is almost entirely
wiped out
The fire started in the store of Reid
& Hughes dry goods company and
was not considered under control until
nearly 100000 worth of property
was destroyed. About the time the
fremen supposed they had the flames
under control, second fire broke out
in the Scoville hotel and the establish
ment was completely wrecked. The
occupants were forced to seek the
street in their night clothes. With
the ringing of the second alarm the
entire city was thrown into panic.
There was fierce gale blowing and
sparks from the burning hotel were
tossed over a great area. Although
the Waterbury fire department was re-
inforced from nearby cities it was for
time impossible to stay the progress
of the flames
Vilas County news. [volume] (Eagle River, Vilas County, Wis.) 1896-1927, 1902-02-10

down and broken. Many persons in
the buildings nearby were knocked
down. Scores of men and women,
many carrying children, rushed to
the street. They were greeted by the
glare of fire from the manholes.
Many women were screaming with
fear Street car windows were
smashed and passengers severely
shaken up. The sight of the flames
rushing from the ground caused
panic in the cars and a number OF
persons were bruised and knocked
down in the excited exit One car
filed with passengers was thrown
from the tracks.
Among the dead are supposed to be
three children of the Trostle family
whose bodies have not yet been re-
covered. 1t is not known positively
that they were in the house at the
does not show any trace Of them.
There were six children in the family,
and there is little doubt that all eight
members of the family were killed.
Three other people who are said to
be dead are supposed to have been
customers in the meat market at the
time of the explosion. The cause Of
the explosion is not known, but all in
dications show it was due to escaping
gas in the basement of the Trostle
house.
The explosion came without an in
stant's warning. There was a dazz-
ling flash, a deafening roar, cloud
of dust and shattered timbers where
the Trostle house stood. On both
sides of Archer avenue and 22d and
23d streets every pane of glass was
blown out and number of residents
in the damaged buildings suffered
slight injuries from flying glass. Adj
joining the Trostle building on the
west was the two-story frame in
which John Mcleod had a saloon. 1t
vanished in the same second as the
meat market. 1t was reported one or
two people were killed here but the
story could not be substantiated
In the ruins of the buildings oc-
cupied by Trostle & Mcleod the
flames burned SO fiercely that if the
inmates were not killed by the force
of the explosion they must have met
death by fire. Close to the Trostle
building stood the Peoples hospital.

Waterbury, Conn, Feb. 4.-There is
a very strong. suspicion that the fire
which completely destroyed the SEQ
vile house was the work of an lncen-
diary. 1t originated in pool and
billiard room in the basement. The
room was locked and no one
was supposed to be there.
No fire was kept in the
room, all the heat being supplied from
the boiler in another part OF the build
ing. The fire came so close on the
heels of the big confiagration that
thousands of spectators who witnessed
it were thrown into more complete
panic than the original fire caused.
The flames had only begun to die
along Bank, Grand and South Main
streets when the flames leaped up
wards, as by magic, and people feared
the city was doomed after all. The
fire burned far into day and was not
extinguished entirely until evening.
The scene about the city yesterday
was only little less remarkable than
that of the previous evening. Thou
sands of people stumbled around the
icy streets and with the greatest diff
ficulty were restrained by the militia
and police from venturing within the
danger lines. A tangled net work Of
wires on Bank and South Main streets
greatly hindered the work Of extin-
gushing the last flames and clearing
away the wreckage
A revised list of the losses and in
surance is very difficult to obtain
Few know just what the loss was on
their buildings and stock. 1t is be-
lieved that when the truth is known
the figures telegraphed yesterday
morning Of 100000 will not be far
from a correct estimate
A remarkable feature of the fire was
there was no loss of life. Two men
who were asleep in the Scoville
house were reported missing, but have
both been located. The rebuilding
of the ruined structures is only a
question of time. Temporary quar-
tiers have been secured by all firms
Many have already telegraphed for
new stock and will resume immedi-
ately.
The American Publishing company
is among the heaviest losers, the
building being entirely ruined, but the
paper was issued in abbreviated form
