S3,OOO,OOO.OO FIRE.
Business Portion of Waterbury,
Conn. Wiped Out

Waterbury, Feb. 3.-The best of the
business portion of Waterbury is in
ashes today as the result of a great
fire that ragged ten hours last night
and this morning. The burnt dis
trict is bounded by Exchange place,
Bank street, Grand street and South
Main. The loss is placed at three
million dollars. Several times DUR
ing the early morning hours firemen
got the flames under control, but a
heavy wind started the blaze afresh.
In all, about one hundred business
houses were destroyed, covering an
area of four acres. The city is now
practically under martial law. Hun
dreds of the homeless are being shell
tered in the armory, city hall, church
es and other public places Mayor
Kilduff said this morning that al
though the city was suffering a griev-
GUS blow, no call for financial aid
from outside cities would be made.
Many were injured while the fire was
raging by falling on the icy pave
mem and being trampled on by the
crowds that filed the street.
When the fire started in Scoville
House a panic ensued az it was fear
ed the fire would spread throughout
the city, the flames threatening
everything in that vicinity, including
the city hall and the Waterbury
bank, but both these buildings were
saved,

A woMAN'S INVENTION.
Folding Umbrella Designed for h
Especial Benefit of Cyclers and
bolists.

Elma Eta Morrison, residing at An
thony, Fla, has been granted a patent
on the folding umbrella shown in the
illustration, the invention being in
tended principally for cyclers' use.
When an ordinary umbrella is attached
to the head of a wheel it is either too
far forward to afford much protection
or else lies in a slanting position. In
the new umbrella this fault is over
come by the double angle formed in
the handle, the elbows being strength
ened by jointed braces to support the
frame as rigidly as a straight stick.
The lower portion of the handle is in
three telescoping sections, and at the
lower end is a steel clamping band by
which the umbrella is attached to the
handIe-bar of the bicycle. The tele-
scoping sections of the handle are Sc

legal reasons ara brought to his at
tention Governor Albert B Cummins
will sign the death warrants of four

trocution for hanging as the legal
method of execution on the theory
that there would be no more hanging
in Iowa.
The four men under sentence of
death are Albert Phillips and Lewis
Brooks, of Beuna Vista comfy,
Harry Hortman, of Cherokee county,
and Richard Williams, of Mahaska
county. Phillips and Brooks killed

ence Porter, of. Cherokee, as the re-
suit of a quarrel. Hortman's execu-

B.. E. GAZETTE.
OF Ell Paso Lyceum Bureau Fame Gam
bled Away His Funds.

H#
The story told of the confidence
game worked by r. E. Gazette, repre-
| senting himself as manager of the Ell
Paso Lyceum Bureau, which was pub
lished in The Citizen several days ago,
has been confirmed by letters received
from different parties.
A letter from DR.. Frank G.. Terrell,
the lecturer who was to appear here as
the first attraction of the course, was
received by Prof. John Douglas Walker
who is a close friend of Mr.. Terrell.
He stated that it was through misman-
agement that Gazette failed to make
the course a success. And that Ca
vette as manager of the FL Paso Lect-
ure Bureau, had bought six courses of
the st. Louis Lyceum bureau, and
gave his note for part of the sum due
them. Mr.. Terrell stated that he
thought Gazette acted in good faith
and would refund the money. But then
this is doubted by many, for II he had
acted in good faith he would have
made an explanation as TO the reason
of the failure of the course or at least
communicated to that effect.
A letter received from a party in Ell
Paso who was acquainted with Ca
vette, stated that Gazette lost eonsid-
cradle money gambling while in Albu-
querque, and had to have checks cash
ed in order to get out of town. The
truth is hat he was out for the money
and worked for that end, having nc
thought of making the attractions
billed a success.
