Someone has asked: what would be

drank no water?' This subject has
been studied considerably: animals

II is found that without water they
lose their power to eliminate the nat
ural poisons; they must have water in
order to eliminate them. otherwise
the secretions become too dense.
without water, the amount OF urea
which should be secreted becomes dt
minished, and SO with the other SO

dissolve the food and carry 1t along.

Sandy Hook Nearly Wiped Out by a Fire
 To-Day.

NewtOwn, Conn, May 31.-Eiye buildings at Sandy Hook. village two m1es from here, were burned today, ana the entire town escaped destruction narrowly. The burned buildings ip- clude the postoffice block, owned by S. t. Glover, and occupied by the post office, the Sandy Hook public library, Masonic lodge rooms and an undertak- ing shop, three store buildings owned by Mrs Emily A. Bennett, and a resi- dence. The total loss is estimated at $10,OOO, partly insured The origin of the fire is not known.
 Postmaster w. B. Sniffen rescued all the mail matter, stamps and valua- ble papers in the postoffice, and the books in the public library, and ple furnishings of the Masonic rooms In- cluding some historic paintings were also saved.
 The main part of the village is sep arated by small stream from the burned section, but until the arrival of assistance from the village of Newtown it was feared that the fire would reach across the stream and sweep this part of the town also. The Sandy Hook firemen discovered as soon as they got together after the fire alarm was sounded, that the pump usually relied on to put out fires was out or order. This pump is supposed to be operated by waterwheel at the old Mantle mill. The mill however has been shut down for twelve years and as Sandy Hook has not had fire to contend with for year or more, the apparatus was little out of repair.

RUN OVER BY TRUCK.
Small Boy Died Soon After Bsin6
 Taken to Hospital

Screams of agony which could bs
 heard blocks away startled the resi-. dents of Meadow street, near South
 Main, yesterday afternoon, about half- past ,. The screams affrighted as we'll, the driver and helpers of one Of R. N.19 Blakeslee's heaviest trucks which wasi on its way to South Main street loaded
 down with sixty foot street rails for the new turnout on South Main street. The driver leaped from his seat as peo.s pie from the neighboring houses began running ill the direction of the cries of pain. The driver, Charles Dubuque, was the first to discover the cause of it all when he found a young lad, about years of age. lying in the road, crushed and bleeding, where the heavi-l ly loaded truck had passed over him. { Companions of the boy who were close
 by said he was Raphael Morrissey, son of Mrs Mary Morrissey, who lives in one of the brick houses in the rear of 1 324 South Main street. The boys said that young MOrrissey and others had ! been climbing up on the long truck \ and that while attempting tOs get off the last time slipped nn- der the rear wheel of the big truck,
 which passed over him. The wheel went across one hip, crushing the bone z to pulp and badly injuring the other leg. He was carried to his home and Lunny's ambulance summoned. He was then taken to the hospital, where he died from his injuries in a short time

SUPERIOR COURT
The Last Three Cases Assigned Were
 Settled Without . Hearing.

Business in the superior court came to an abrupt termination this morning, the last three cases assigned being set tied without hearing: Plaintiffs were Mary Leary, guardian, Michele Ricco, administrator and Attorney Bauby ad- ministrator, and in each case the con solidated railroad company was the de- fendant.
 Mrs Leary sued for $2,OO0 damages for injuries to her eight years old son John. One day last summer John was playing tag around the cars at the Dub- lin street depot. An employe of the road chased him away as the cars be- gan to move Scared out of his wits the boy ran and fell and car passed over the toes of his right foot cutting them off Attorney Bauby as admins trator claimed 5000 damages for the death of Anthony Maryulias. Maryu- Has was employed by the Benedict Burnham company and one morning he was crossing the railroad track near the factory of the Waterbury Brass Goods corporation on his way to work. He did not hear an approaching train and was instantly killed.
 Riccio was administrator on the es tate of a brother, Antonio q track hand for the Consolidated Railroad company employed on the Shore line. He step ped out of the way for an express, on to anther track and did not see another express laundering down upon him. Damages of 5000 was asked in this case also. death being claimed to have been instantaneous.
 There being no other business on the assignment list court adjourned to Fri- day morning.

NO SYMPATHETIC STRIKE.

New York, May 31.-Posftive an. nouncement has been made that there will be no sympathetic strike in New York to help the Chicago teamsters. h. stead of quitting their jobs. the New York union drivers. who number 3S,OOO will be assessed five cents or $1,0OO Il day. Previously the sum of $1,0O0 q day had been given to the strikers, but the local union decided to raise the as sessment and continue 1t as long as tue strike lasts.
 Conferences have been held for sev. eral days in which the question of q sympathetic strike has been discussed, and finally 1t as decided to give the fund instead.

STRIKE RESUMED
Decoration Day Brought Quietness and Peace
 for a Few Hours.

Chicago, May 31.--After twenty four hours truce, occasioned by the general closing down of business for the Deco ration day holiday, employers and teamsters resumed the strike struggle to-day, with the situation as it was Monday and little prospect for any i'm mediate change.
 The employers teaming company eclipsed its previous records to-day, sending out between 2,5OO and 2,6OO teamsters. Every driver that could be spared was sent to the lumber district in order to facilitate deliveries by the lumber concerns involved in the strike and additional police protection was asked.
 A further spread of the strike among lumber firms was looked for today. Firms connected with the Millmen's as- sociation, employing 125 drivers, are pledged to make deliveries to strike bound houses, and it as expected that several of these concerns would be af- fected today.
