CHANDLER FIGHTS FIRE
His Summer Home DamaSsd-An.
 tiuue Engine Does c pod Work.

Thompson. Aug 19-The home of Hon Randolph H Chandler was badly damaged yesterday by fire which started about l o'clock and was caused by gasolene torch. The house is wooden one, shingled but covered with slate. Painters started the flre, which worked into the attic. There Is no water service in Thompson, but the neighbors all tOed the mark with ex- tinguishers, and merry time ensued. The church bell was rung and all the villagers turned out with the only flre engine in this place, machine said to be the oldest fire engine in actual ser vice in the country.
 All the residents who were not play ing fire extingulshers on the blaze were requisitioned to carry water to iced the engine and man the pumps be- longing to the antique. The water had to be poured into the back of the en- zine. but the stream in front was fine one. The village fire company forgot to bring ladders. but those iefr by the painters were fortunately long enough. and holes were soon chopped in the roof. The hose was then put into the opening and squirted around in the attic effectually stopping the progress of the fire.
 Mir Chandler was very active fight ing the fire Up in the attic he was in the midst of the flames. His hair and his whiskers were singed. his neck burned and his hands badly blistered. In the thick of the excitement he fell down the attic stairs. knocking him. self unconscious. The house itself. pretty summer one. was considerably damaged. both by the water and fire. George Q. Brott of Hartford, whose summer home is here. was one of those who manned the brakes of the engine

BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS
Awarded Contract for Paving North
 Willow Street This Morning.

The board of public works held a meeting this morning and awarded the contract for repaving North Will low street to Edward McManus for the price of his bid. S3.94112 per square yard. all amounting to S5,242.5O. Mir McManus was the only bidded. \ portion of this expense will be met by the trolley company and the South ern New England Telephone com pany.
 The contractor in charge of repIac- ing the paving blocks on South Main street appeared before the board and was heard in reference thereto. He admitted that some work yet remain ed that needed attention. but said it would be almost impossible for him to reach it this year. He wanted to be permitted to let portion of it stand until next season when he would be able to take hold of the job without any inconvenience. He cannot get help at the present time, hence the trouble in completing the work. If the city would square up with him for what he has done he would furnish surety bond 10 finish up next spring to the satisfaction of the board. Commissioners Holmes and Wade appeared somewhat favor able to this proposition. but Mir Jack son cOntended that the people wanted the street and it wouldn't be fair to defer the completion of the work un- til next year. Alderman Murray was present and said word or two in favor of the proposition submitted by the contractor. He considered it fair to both sides. II was finally decided to extend the time limit for finishing the job to November E of this year. the work to be done at that time sub ject to the approval of the superinten. dent of streets. The United Gas lm- proyement company was requested to submit maps showing the location of all its mains in the public streets ef Waterbury. A communication was read from the engineer regarding re- lief from surface water at the corner of Farm and Round Hill streets and at the corner of Vine and Farm streets. the estimated expense being S1 400. The plan is to reach Great brook from the points mentioned with twenty-four inch tile pipe. The en- gineer recommended the construction of an inlet at GrIggs and North Main streets at an expense not to exceed s4O0. This is to do away with the trouble caused by surface water op- posite the property of John Buckley. Favorable action was taken on this matter. The telephone company was authorized to open certain streets for the purpose of laying conduits. tho work of relaying the pavement to he done to the approval of the superin- tendent of streets.

DEATH DRAWS NEAR
Wedding Comes When the Bride is
 Fatally III.

Hartford Aug 19.--Miss Laura E.. Burr of No 114 Franklin avenue and Charles l.. Jackson of No 22 Congress street were married two weeks ago Thursday al the brides home. They had known each other since childhood {: they were about the same age: they lived near each other; they went to the same school. So naturally they fell in love.
 Both the young people were in fine health and optimistic and when they became engaged they began 10 plan for a home of their own. Mr Jackson secured steady employment as a letter carrier, so the future looked rosy. Four years ago the arrangements were made and the date almost set for the wedding when Miss Burr was taken ill Dr ]. W. Felty said that that in- siduous disease. tuberculosis of the bones. had attacked her and that an operation was the only means of relief. Part of one foot must come of. He feared the spread Of the disease. but with good care and treatment.
 Everything possible was done for the young woman. but she became worse and finally an operation was re- sorted to. Part of one foot was taken of. She improved greatly after the operation and seemed to he on the road to health. The young people again planned for a wedding Five months after the operation the disease again appeared. this time in the heel of the foot. Again an operation was resorted to. Once more Miss Burr recuperatel and again she spent her days of recov- ery in thinking of a happy future.
 But il was only a few months more before the disease again made an at- tack. This time it was necessary to remove the whole of one leg up to the knee. Miss Bun withstOod the shock nolly and in short time the wound had healed. An artificial limb made if possible for her io walk Having paid such terrible cost it no longer seemed possible that the disease still cIung to her and again MT Jackson and Miss Burr sef a day.

PASS UP CRAFT
CHARGES TO CARTER


The most serious natter Zoo one
sense, Co come before the House of Rep
rcscutatives at this present session
was the report brought lon this morning
by Chairman Waterhouse of the Conn
mittee ON Public Expenditures Boz rec
laton To the Department of Public iu-
suuction. TIN report ran thus.
your Committee ON Public EXpendi-
lures acting under resolution number
lO2 and Rule % of this House, pro-
ceeded upon the investigation Of certain
vouchers and warrants pertaining to
expenditures of the Department of Pub
lie instruction of the Territory Of Ha-
vail
AS a result Of the examination, by
an expert, of the vouchers and accounts
of the Department of Public Instruc-
ton, witnesses were called before your
Committee and by their testimony ir-
regularities are apparent i'm the eX-
penditure of public funds by that de-
partment Persons have been paid in
cash, for work and labor performed for
and on behalf of this department sums
grossly in excess of their value, endors-
ing the voucher for the same to the As
sistant Secretary and School Agent. In
one case a person performed labor and
furnished material for said department
and testified to having received but
one-half of the sum charged for the
work and for which the endorsed
voucher was cashed by the Assistant
Secretary and School Agent.
The circumstances of the investiga-
ton and the general results attained
are not herein included to the end that
justice be subserved. From our exam
nation we believe the condition of af-
fairs is far from satisfactory. Just
where the responsibility lies is still a
question We recommend that the mat
ter be referred to the Governor with a
transcript of the evidence as it would
appear to seriously discredit the ad-
ministration.
Respectfully submitted,

There was no opposition to the adop-
ton of the report though Long express
ed the view that as a criminal action
had been suggested the Attorney Gen
eral rather than the Governor should
deal with the matter.

FIERCE FIRE
AT WAHIAWA

A fire which threatened to destroy
the forests on the entire Wahiawa
watershed started late yesterday after
noon in the upper part of the colony
lands of Wahiawa, and was not ex-
tinguished until midnight.
The fire started on a piece of land
which is owned by j. J. Havery of
Honolulu, and is being cleared for cul-
tivation. Those at work clearing it
supposed they had taken every precau-
ton against the spread of the fire by
blowing around the land and back
firing. But in some way the fire got
beyond the bounds made for it, and
rapidly started up the slope toward the
forests in the mountain that form the
watershed for the Wahiawa region.
The long continued drought has made
grass and every thing else in the re-
gion almost as inhammable as finder.
The land where the fire started slopes
rapidly up toward the forests. AS
soon as a blaze starts it creates a
draught which carries the fire up the
slope with a rush.
Assistance was sent for to the lower
end of the colony, and the work was
kept up until midnight when the blaze
was finally extinguished just before it
got into the forest. 1t is said that If
it had got into the forest, it would
have taken days to have successfully
fought it, and the forest Of the entire
watershed would undoubtedly have
been destroyed.
