waterbury, Gem. Feb. G.-In the
hardest gale Of tte winter Waterbury
struggled lasE night with fire that
destroyed large area of the business
section OF the city snd threatened to
wipe it out completely. The blaze
started in the upholstery department
on the third floor Of the store OF the
Reid & Hughes Dry Goods company,
at 1920 Bank street, and that store
and many adjoining buildings were re-
duced in a few hours to snolderins
embers. An estimate OF S2,000,000 as
the amount of property loss on build
ings and contents was considered con-
servative by insurance men. The
cause of the fire is unknown, and 1t
was not discovered until it had gained
tremendous headway. at 6:l5 p. m
three employees Of the Reid & HugDa3
company were in the store and when
they LETT they noticed no odor Of smoke
about the main floor.
The Gre started in drizzling rain,
with a rapidly rising wind, and with
the increasing cold. the rain turned
to snow. The wind was at first shift
ing, but it settled toward the east and
carried destruction with 1t. The first
building to catch from the Reid &c
Hughes company store was tai struc-
ture to the westward occupied by the
Salvation army barracks and Turk

leaped back to the eastward, across
Bank street, and wiped out the Ryan
& Fitzmaurice block, Cannon G Webs
ter's drug store, Davis cigar store and
the store of ]. B. Mullings & Son.
They burned rapidly through to South
Main street, jumped across that street,
shriveling the buildings like paper.
At the same time the flames caught
the Masonic temple and Travelled from
the Salvation army building to the
rear of the Franklin house, on Grand
street, and the entire block, consist
ing Of seven or eight handsome FIVE
story buildings, with 80 tenements and
the large and commodious headquar-

soon in ruins.

Manila, Jan. 31.-The general cut
look for pacification in the archipel-
ago. everywhere outside of the island
of Samar. has never been more favor
able since the original outbreak CT
the Filipino insurrection than at the
present time. The insurgents have
been broken UP into small bands and
are everywhere fleeing for shelter.
They surrender daily, are captured or
are killed. The policy Of reconcentra-
tion and the stern measure of closing
the ports to commerce have accom-
plished everything expected Of them.
General Chaffee still hopes that by the
end of February the island of Sam2r

DUTY OF THE EMINENTS.

All the local Templar communicates are

vice to eminent commanders and their
associate officers: THE commander should
ascend the throne with knowledge, If not
practical acceptance. lie should so gov
ern his ccmmandory as when he leaves IL
twelve months hence his fraters may com
mend him as a faithful servant. He
should keep in accord with each officer
and member feel the touch of the elbow
and know how TO WELD his sword in the
defence OF the helpless and innocent. The
commandery should be opened promptly
and the business dispatched SO that work
may be cone properly. Let the work be
done imprcssively, calling particular at
tention to the several lessons. The dec
laration Of entertaining no hatred or III
will against anyone should mean more
than ii does with many. Envy malice
spite, jealousy. speaking III Of brother
even under the Masonic injunction of Sc
crecy should find no place in a courteous

ulatc himself on May l. l903.'
