The family were returning from attending the funeral of an in fant child, when they noticed fire bursting from the barn. Dan Horan, boy, who lived nearby, rushed into the barn and led out horse, being kicked by the animal for his trouble, but not being much hurt. The barn was filled and the loss, which is total, is estimated at between $25O and $500. covered by insurance.

 A head-on collision between two Central New England passenger trains was narrowly averted at Nor folk station yesterday. Instead of following the custom of running in on the lower switch. the 1O:O6 east bound passenger pulled by the station and was just beginning to back on to the upper side track when the 1OO6 west bound passenger train from Hartford whistled for the station. The air brakes failed to hold and the train whizzed by the station just as the east bound passenger got safely on to the siding, with not a second to spare. By islanders held their breath, fearing that a collision was certain.

~TOO MUCH COAL"
How to Get Rid of the Reported
 'Stagnation."

How to Get Rid of the Reported
 ''Stagnation."
 It is announced from the anthracite region that there is ''too much coaP' on hand, says the New York World that all-summer work has caused s'stagnation in the coal trade' and that in consequence orders curtadl1ng pro duction have been issued
 This news will come as surprise to the people of the seaboard citaes' who must get their mining information at second hand. The usual proof and efgn of over-production. a falling price has at no time this summer been ob- served. On the contrary, the price high in April. has been lacked up 1C cents a month, as usual.
 At this distance there will be a gen eral disinclination-w1ich the World shares-to believe that there is over production. Under consumption" is the trouble. People are putting few CT tons in their bins than they used tc before monopoly was s'Morganized' 1T 1900.
 Let the price of coal be dropped say, to a point which will yield the railroads only about as much addition al profit over the ante-strike prices as the few cents ton that higher wages have cost. instead of five times as much, and householders will hear their bins, manufacturers will burn coal, poor people will stop shivering in the east wind, and the "stagnation'' will disappear with the mounting coal heaps.
 It would be worth trying, but not everything worth trying is tried.

 have a block on Burton street that you can get by paying $3,O0O down. The block pays 10 per cent on $1S,00O. Now the question is, if you borrow $3, GOO from the bank to buy this block, paying for it SIT ,000, you will have to pay 5 per cent on <$17,O00, which amounts in one year to $85o. You are getting from the block 10 per cent on $18,O0O, which amounts to $1,8OO a year. Out of that $1 800 you pay $S5O for. interest money. This leaves you practically an income of $95O a year. This amounts to about $3 a day. Did you ever make money easier than that?
 There is a three-family house on Fairview street. paying 10 per cent on the purchase price. $500, that can be bought for less money. Why don't you buy this place, live in one part yourself and rent the other parts? The rents will more than cover expenses. Open every night except Monday.
