ing able to subdue the flames by the
usual methods the use of dynamite
was suggested, but the idea was after
wards abandoned because it was feared
the burning embers thrown up by the
explosions would carry the flames to
distant sections of the city.
1t is reported that numerous thieves
were operating in houses whose occu-
pants had left them to view the blaze.
A number of arrests were made.
The manner in which the flames
leaned from one building to another
and even across streets was appalling
and drove terror to the hearts of the
spectators, for it seemed that no earth
ly power could check them.

assistance to the Waterbury depart

a certain district, but each time a cry
of disappointment and warning went
up from thousands of threats, as fire
was seen breaking out elsewhere.
The Waterbury Bank had a most re-
markable escape from both fire and
falling debris. The bank building
stands on the corner of Center and
Bank streets, adjoining buildings on
both streets. Both these structures
were destroyed, but the bank was lit

At 2.15 this morning, the fire was still
unsubdued
A wide swath was cut by the flames
through the very heart of the business
portion of the town extending from the
corner of Grand and Leavenworth
streets to Bank street and thence
across South Main street to Brook
street. The fire also burned up and
down Bank and South Main streets on
both sides, doing enormous damage.
