FEATURES OF INTEREST IN AND
 ABOUT THE BOROUGH.

New Haven-Three Small Fires Cause Some Excitement-Accana Lodges | Red Letter Day.
 1 A ball team from New Haven called | the Lynwoods with Harry Brace as l pitcher came up here Saturday after
 noon to play the Wallingfords. The
 game was an uninteresting one and the visitors were defeated by score of 17
 to 0. It was supposed that the visiting team would be a strong one and it was said that five or six Yale players were
 to be with the team, but 1t was evi-
 dent that there was a mistake some where.
 Fires always come here three at a
 time, or within a very few days of each
 other Late Friday afternoon the house
 of William Padgett on North Farms
 was burned to the ground The fire
 caught from the chimney. The loss
 was about $1,000. There had been an
 insurance of $500 in the Holland Mutual company, but Padgett had failed to pay
 up and the policy had lapsed. Satur-
 day morning about 1 o'clock the house of Mrs John J. Allen on South Cherry
 street was burned to the ground with all it's contents The house was insured for sl000 in the New Hampshire com-
 pany and the furniture for $500 in the
 Boston Insurance company. As the building was situated so far outside of the water limits the fire department could do nothing to save it. Saturday afternoon the fire department was again called out by an alarm for a blaze on the bank of the lake caused by boys setting fire to the refuse from the gas house. The fire caused lots of smoke, but did no great damage.
 Tuesday evening will be a red-letter one in the history of Accanaut lodge No. 71 l. O. O. F.
