WATERBURY, Conn, Feb. I'm tire
hardest gale of the winter, Waterbury
struggled tonight with a fire that de-
stroyed a large area of the business sec
ton of the city and threatened to wipe
it out completely.
The blaze started in the upholstery
department on the third floor Of the store
of the Read & Hughes Dry Goods com
pany, at 10S-120 Bank street. and that
store and many adjoining buildings were
reduced in a few hours to smoldering
embers.
An estimate of 100000 as the amount
Of property loss on buildings and con-
tents was considered conservative by in
suranoe men. The origin of the fire is
unknown, and it was not discovered until
it had gained tremendous headway- At
6:15 D. M three employees of the Read
& Hughes company were in the store, ana
when they left they noticed no odor OF
smoke about the main floor.
FLAMES BURST CUT
QUICKLY AND FIERCEi.E.
Fifteen minutes later flames were seen
to burst with great force from the VIM
dows on the third floor and almost 81
multaneously from the basement. Be
fore anybody could ring in an alarm
mass of flames.
When the department reached the
scene flames were issuing from every
window of the building and it was evi-
dent that the structure was doomed and
the entire business section of the city
was imperilled.
Tho fire started in a drizzling rain with
a rapidly rising wind and with
the increasing cold the rain turned to
snow. The wind was at first shifting
but it settled toward the east and car
ried destruction with 1t.
The first building to catch from the
store was tall structure to the west
ward occupied by the Salvation Army
barracks and Turkish bath. A moment
or two later the flames leaped back to
the eastward across Bank street and
wiped out the Ryan & Fitzmaurice block
Cannon & Websters drug store, Davis
cigar store. and the store Of j. B. Null
hngs & Sons.

. SWORE FALSELY.
Wherefore a Preacher Must Go to
the Penitentiary.

Knoxville. Tenn, July 29-Rev. J.
F. Austin, of Ashboro, n. c., former
ly of this state. has been convicted Of
perjury and sentenced to five years
in the penitentiary of North Carolina.
Austin was pastor of the NJ. E.
Church South, in Watauga and Boone
counties, Tennessee, and then in Nc
Dowell and Buncombe counties, North
Carolina. and had great success as a
revivalist. Two years ago he began
the publication of labor journal, the
Broad Axe, and made attacks on mill
owners. The Mill News, a Charlotte
paper, replied, rejecting on Austin's
character. He brought suit for libel,
which was dismissed. During the
progress of this suit he swore he had
never been in Jail and he was there
fore prosecuted for perjury. The evil
dence of an Ashville policeman who
had locked up Austin convicted him,
and the jury fixed his sentence.

Not more than five men compose the
actual membership of the Akron Trot-
ting association, yet that they are
hustlers and that their efforts to get
good sport for the race meet here have
been successful is shown by the large
number of horses and horsemen al
ready in the city. More than 100
horses arrived in the city from Cleye-
land over Sunday, and have been at
Fountain park since where they are
worked out daily and prepared for the
sport and hard work that is to come
later in the week.

The divorce suit of Fisher B. Ames,

Pleas. Death instead Of the earthly
courts has taken her away from him.
They were married scarcely more than

old and feeble, and believed they would
be able to comfort each other and make
life more pleasant He was a painter
and she dressmaker. 1t was believed
that by putting their earnings together
they could live cheaper, and that it
would not be necessary for either to
work continuously. If he should be-
come sick, the wife would he able by
her earnings as Il dressmaker to care
for him and II she should become un-
able to work he would care for her
with his earnings as a painter. But
they could not agree, and he applied
for divorce. Mrs. Ames' will has
been offered for probate. Aside from
a few trinkets distributed among her
children and grandchildren, her prop
erty is given to her daughter, Alice

A Proposition to Restore the

A. dispatch from Washington the
other day said: In his annual report
to the War department Major Ruff
nerthe government engineer in charge
of works on the MusSlngum riyer sug-
gests feasible and inexpensive ship
channel to connect Lake Erie and the
Ohio river. The engineers suggestion
is contained in the following excerpt
from his report:
mo work has been done on the
Muskingum river during the fiscal
year. The lock and dam above Zanes-
vile have been in state Of ruin
since 1875, it's restoration would con.
meet the Muslsingum river slack water
system with the Ohio canal at Dresden
and give a water line from the Ohio
river to Lake Erie. The cost of this
work on dam No. II and dredging out
Shoals below the lock site and for
contingencies is estimated at $11O,-

Major Ruffner, it will be observed,
does not recommend the project, but
merely mentions it as practicable

A good many Ohio papers have fail
ed to notice the error of the Washing
ton correspondent, who has hastily
jumped to the conclusion that Major
Ruffner refers TO ship canal in speak
ing of a water line from Lake Erie
to the Ohio river The facts are that
he refers only to the restoration of the
Ohio canal to its former navigable
length. That the cost of accomplish
ing this work would be no more than
$4,000 is of great interest. however,
for the estimate is likely to make the
proposition to provide for this recon-
struction subject of Importance in

apt to be the case should the Canal
