Saturday afternoon started fire IN
which at least 10 and possibly Is men
were burned to death and property loss
of about 81 100000 was caused.
The Victims.
The ten men who are known to have
lost their lives are as follows:
Louis Behrend, E. Brown, William
Crowl, William Findley, William Field,
E. Hogan, John Hobeckot, John Leppen,
Louis Sach, Joseph Zimmerman.
The injured are: Abe Feinberg, Fred
Knoll, James M. Miller, Frank Phelan,
Joseph Werner, Edward Werner.
Many Buildings Ruined.
The Corning distillery was the second
largest establishment of the kind in the
country. The property destroyed COM
prises a large warehouse, II stories high,
made largely of corrugated iron, in
which was stored 10000 barrels of high
proof spirits, the cistern and ferment-
ing departments, each in a three-story
brick building, and the cattle sheds, con-
tanning 5000 head of cattle, all of which
were burned to death. Only the cookers
are left, of the entire plant.
The fire started in the warehouse.
Bursting barrels released a stream of
ignited spirits, which quickly spread the
flames to all parts of the immense struc-
ture, and soon the explosion OF thou
sands of casks fastened the destruction
and made a noise that terrorized all that
part Of the city. In short time the ware
house fell, crushing the smaller build
ings near it, liberating a mass of burning
debris. A stream of blazing spirits was
turned into the cattle pens, turning them
into a seething pool of flame, which
quickly killed the animals confined
there The cattle were the property of
Dodd & Keifer of Chicago, and F. c.
White & Co., of Peoria.
Heat Ba1ks Firemen.
The fermenting houses were the next
to go, followed by the cistern depart
ment, in which was $4,000 gallons of
spirits. This added fuel intensified the
heat and made it almost impossible for
firemen to get near enough to the build
ings to work effectively. A high wind
famed the flames toward the Monarch
distillery, and that was threatened. This
made it necessary for the firemen to con-
fine their efforts almost entirely to pre-
venting a spread of the fire. In spite OF
them the flames were communicated to
the stockyards, block distance, but the
damage done there was slight. For time
it was feared that the fire would sweep
along the entire river bank. However,
the great work of the firemen began to
tell, and at seven o'clock the fire was I'M
der control, with no likelihood of fur
Their spread.
A Strange Experience.
Elmer Hogan had strange experience.
He was at work in the warehouse when
the collapse came. He was washed out
through a break in the building by the
big stream of whisky. He was carried
toward the river distance of nearly Is
feet before being lodged against fence,
from which he managed to escape before
the fire overlook him. He was removed
to the hospital in badly injured con-
dition and died at eight o'clock Satur-
day night.
The fire at the Corning plant is the
third serious mishap that has befallen
the company in the last few months. In
October cooker exploded, killing nine
men In December a warehouse burned,
causing a loss of $4,000.

Song Of Cheer

Cheer up. The world is taking
your photograph. Look pleasant.
OF course you have your troubles,
troubles YOU cannot tell the police
man. A whole lot Of things bother
YOU. OF course. Business worries
or domestic sorrows, it may be, or
what not You find life a rugged
road whose stones have hurt your
feet. Nevertheless cheer up.
1t may be your real disease is
selfishness ingrownselfshness.
Your life is too self-centered. You
imagine your tribulations are worse
than others bear. You feel sorry
Tor yourself the meanest sort OF
pity. 1t is a pathetic illusion. Rid
yourself Of that and cheer up.
What right have you TO carry a
picture Of your woe-begone face
and funeral ways about among your
fellows who have troubles Of their
OWN If YOU must whine or sulk
or scowl take a car and go 10 the
woods or tothe unfrequentedlanes.
Cheer up. Your ills are largely
imaginary If you were really on
the brink Of bankruptcy, or if there
were no thoroughfare through your
SORROWS, you would clear your
brows. set your teeth and make the
best of it.
Cheer up. You are making a
hypothetical case out of your trou-
bles and suffering from a self-in-
flicted verdict. You are borrowing
trouble and paying high-rate OF
interest.
Cheer up. Why, man alivel IN
a ten minutes walk you may see a
score Of people worse off than you.
And here you are digging your
own grave and playing pailbearef
into the bargain. Man alive, yor
must do your work. Smile, ever
though it be through your tears
which speedily dry-and cheer up

MiCrObs OF LszineSs
Government Will Try to Make the
Easy Going Porto Rican
Move Faster.

A commission is at work in Porto
Rico trying to cure the natives of
that common but rather agreeable
disease known to the scientific as
uncinariasis and to the laity as lazi-
ness. Some years ago a gentleman
of an investigating turn of mind
discovered that the languor of the
Southern negro was caused by a
parasite and gave the disease the
name of uncinariasis. 1t was a
rather comforting discovery to
many people, both white and black,
for if we can lay the blame for our
natural disclination to work upon a
parasite it takes a load from the
conscience and enables one to "cul-
tivate his laziness" with a serenity
and effectiveness otherwise impos-
sible.
1t is now proposed to transform
the Porto Rican from a languid per-
son, who seeks not labor nor longs
for it, into a strenuous hustler
whose energy even a tropical sun
shall not wilt. And after the Porto
Rican population shall have been
properly inoculatcd who knows
perhaps the commission may con-
tinue its work in this country,
where a promising field is offered
by the hobo army and the Newport
idlers? Could the eradication of
uncinariasis be confined to these
two classes the presence Of the
commission here would be welcome
but any attempt to inoculate a man
who is about to 90 away on his
summer vacation will be resisted
if necessary, with force and arms.
In vacation time mountain dell and
sounding beach would not be worth
the visiting unless the visitor
brought with him a good, sharp
attack Of incinariasis. Let the mi
crobe hunters began their work
here on September one, but not a
day before. N. Y. Press.

ADVANTAGES OF
ELECTRIC LIGHTS

are so apparent that we are almost
ashamed to talk about them, They
stick right out like the nose of your
face, but, as Marcus Aurelius
might have said, if he had thought
of it, ''If a man blow not his own
horn, the same it shall not be
blowed." +" And our Office boy says
he'll be blowed if he can see why
we should hide our light under
half bushel.
Ro to save argument we are will
ing to admit that there is no light
that even approaches the electric
light in quantity of light radiated
all around the room.
The quality of the light you can
see for yourself. Electric lights
give a strong. car, vivid write
light That is what is demanded
today, pure, white light and plenty
of il.
If our points are not clear 10 you
it is undoubtedly due to the fact
that yonr light is poor. If you
will put in full equipment of cleo
trio lighes the whole subject will be
made beautifully luminous and we
will have. peace in the ilmily.

Waterbury evening Democrat., 1904-10-29


 A number of people from Waterbury who went to New York on the excuI- sion yesterday were unable to return on the excursion owing to delay i'll the Subway, caused by the break down of several defective motors. Those who were left got in on the train that reaches here about 12:30.
 Several important changes in the running of trains on the Highland di- vision will go into effect tomorrow. It will be we'll for those interested to look them up. The first train for Hart ford will leave at $50 and a new train will be put on, going at S:20. The noon train is about fifteen minutes earlier, also. The evening train will leave fifteen or twenty minutes later. There are several changes also in the times of trains arriving from Hartford. And this makes change of time of trains for Danbuly and otl.er places west. There are also few changes on the Nauga- tuck division.
