ing was thrown from a carriage on
North Main street and dislocated his
right jaW-bone. He was not aware OF
the injury until this morning. DR.
Lally advised him to go to the hospf-
tai, but inquiry at that institution
showed that he had not followed the
physicians advice, therefore his name
could not be ascertained.
Complaint was made this forenoon
to Superintendent Wales of the Con-
necticut Railway & Lighting company
by an old lady that a small hand
satche1 containing gold watch and
$50 was stolen from her while riding
toward the Naugatuck depot on a
Bank street trolley car. Conductor
Green on whose car the theft is said
to have taken place reported to Su-
perintendent Wales that a man board
ed the car at Grand street and when
the old lady and her companion, a
young lady, left the car at the depot,
he saw them take two satchels with
them, and the man followed them.
Further than that he knew nothing
about the matter.

PILLsBURY LAS POOR CHANCE.
Janowski, His Opponent, Had Better
Position To-day

Hanover, Aug S.-As far as chief
honors are concerned, so much seemed
to have been decided that it is evident
the American player, Pillsbury, will
scarcely be able to finish first in the
international chess masters tourna-
ment When the first adjournment
took place to-day in the regular fif-
teenth round of the contest, Janowski,
who was pitted against PHlsbury, had
by far the superior position and should
win his game on the resumption of
play this afternoon. To-day's playing
was governed by the sixteenth pairing
of the Berger schedule and the men
were placed in the appended order:
Popiel VS. Olland, Swiderski VS. Mar
shall, Mason VS. Wolf, Levin VS. Guns
berg, Cohn VS. Atkins, Gottshcall VS.
Napier. Tschigorin VS. Bardeleben,
Pillsbury VS. Janowski and Suechting
VS. Mieses.
While Pillsbury was conducting an
uphill fight against the Partisan, Wolf
had succeeded in mastering Mason
while Cohn had gone down before At
kins.
The game between Levin and Guns
berg was drawn, and the rest of the
games were adjourned in even posi-
tions.

nual tournament started promptly to-

HARDWARE PLANT BURNED.
P. & r. Corbin Plant Suffered Heavy
Loss This Morning.

New Britain, Aug 8-What is
known as the p. s. f. Corbin plant in
this city, the company now having
been merged with the American Hard
ware company, suffered heavy loss
from fire this morning, the elaborate
and valuable office building OH Park
street with it's precious contents hav-
ing been burned out The building
cost about $4,000 to- erect, but that
is insured and represents only por-
tion of the loss, since it does not in
clude the papers and documents which
in a concern of this kind form an i'm
aportant part of the business. 1t was
one of the finest Office buildings in the
country. The interior was finished in
quartered oak, with every convenience
that could be devised by the ingenuity
of modern workmen.
The fire is supposed to have been
caused by the careless dropping Of a
lighted cigarette.
