BURNED TO DEATH
New London Woman Perished In Fire To-day Another Wo-
 man Seriously Injured.

New London, Dec 30.-Emma Du. rand, cook, was burned to death il a fire early to-day which gutted q wooden building at 93 Bank street. May Pierson, roomer in the house, was knocked from window on the second floor by an explosion of gaso- lene in the rear of the building and she is now in the hospital segiousi! injured, but will recover. The loss ts the building is estimated at $15,000 covered by insurance. The tenants es innate their loss at $500.
 Mrs Alfred Gilpin occupies the sec ond and third floors of the building as a boarding house. The roomers were awakened by the smoke at 2:15 o'clock this morning and in few minutes were rushing out with the few clothes they could hastily get together. Ma. thaniel K. Lester, who rooms at tue place, succeeded in getting Mrs Gilpin out of the house. She managed tt save some money and other small arti cles.
 Soon after there was an explosion os a gasolene tank in the rear of the building. Just prior to the explosion May Pierson, roomer at the house was seen at the second story window. The firemen told her to wait until il ladder could be obtained, but the eN plosion threw her out onto the side walk. She received several bruises about the head and was hurried to the hospital.
 Prior to the explosion Emma Du- rand was seen at the attic window. Later she disappeared.
 The fire started in a tobacco storf on the ground floor and burned through the partition to Ofen's barber shop and in spite of the work of the put on by the companies the flames continued to spread.
 The intense heat inside of the build ing caused the plate glass windows to break and they fell to the sidewalk making a loud crash. The building Is an old wooden affair and the fire men were handicapped ip their efforts by the thick smoke and the fact that there was sharp breeze blowing which famed the flames and gave them headway. It was apparent af- ter few minutes that the ordinary means would not suffice in fighting the blaze and general alarm was sent in at 2:45 calling out the entire de- partment.
 Just before o'clock the blaze broke out with renewed vigor and the flames shot out of the roof in q way that threatened to spread to the surround ing wood buildings In the rear.
 Streams were turned on from ey- cry available point and the flremen used every effort at their command to confine the fire to the single build ing. After while their efforts were rewarded.
 The stock in Serafn's cigar store is total loss and the same is true of Sam 0fen's barber shop The entire building is saturated and with the damage by smoke there does not seem to be any hope of saving anything.
 The Woodbine cafe is in the same building and it shared in the general havoc, although the fire was more se- we're in the other end of the build- ing. At 3:30 o'clock the fire was un- der control and the firemen found the dead body of Emma Durand in the upper part of the building.

MORE SALARIES CUT.

New York, Dec 30-Among the cuts in salaries at the Mutual Life Insur- ance Co which have been made but not previously announced, says the Tribune, are those of Robert A. Gran miss and pr Walter R. Gillette, vice presidents. Until recently Mir Gran hiss drew $50,00O a year and Dr Gil lette $40,000. Al the demand of the Truesdale committee each had his sal ary cut $10,000 a year. The resigna- ton of Mir Granniss and Dr Gillette from the Mutual board have been ru- mored from time to time. The cut in their salaries is taken as an indication that they will hold their places, al- though the Truesdale committee has announced that a cut in salaries does net preclude the acceptance of resig- nations if such action should later be considered advisable.

PUTNAM HAS LIQUOR AGENTS
Appointment of Town Agent is Max
 ing Trouble.

Putnam, Dec 30-Now that you can procure about al the wines and liquors you want in Putnam, many Putnamites are grooming and crying on account of the loss of about Sl0,- GOO in license money that might have been received this year into the town treasury if the town hadn't voted no license last October.
 Selectmen Green and Davis first threw bomb into the license and no license camps when they signed a pa per making E. c. Rogers, town agent, to sell liquor at a profit of % per cent. Of course after the town had voted no license that set the majority of citizens boiling for there are plenty ow drug stores in the town where liquor can be procured on physi- clans prescription.
 Another bomb has been let loose by several agents opening up and sending out dodgers to the effect that any one can get wines and liquors by making them their agent.

A LIVELY RUNAWAY
Delivery Clerk Thrown Out and Wagon Put
 Out of Business.

Louis Gagnon, a delivery clerk in the employ of his father. Adelard Gagnon, South Main street grocer, figured in runaway accident at noon to-day and while onlookers expected to see him hurled to death every mo- ment, he managed to come out of 1t with nothing worse than a sprained ankle. The horse became unmanage- able on Grand street, near the post office, and dashed across Bank street at top speed and rushed down into South Main street and headed for Union square. At the corner, near the entrance to the place formerly occu- pied by Castle, the meatman, the wagon collided with a telegraph pole wrenching the vehicle and tossing the driver out among the debris. He was assisted into Pratte's drug store by Officer Hayes and others. At that time it was believed that his injuries were serious but fortunately this was not so. The horse continued his mad run until it reached the head of Union street where it was captured by Thomas Saults, but not before it had knocked down Miss Nora Griffin of Bergen street, who was on her way home to dinner from the factory where she is employed. The horse hit her in the ankle with his hoof and pitched her against the curbing, infiicting a wound in her head which. though painful, is not considered serious. The girl was stunned and badly scared. but after short time she was able to enter carriage and make the trip home. After young GagnOn got his spralned ankle dressed and had a short rest he talked of the experience as though he didn't look upon it as enything very serious.
