FIREhEN WERE COLD.
Sut Held h CAsck What hitht Have
 Psevsd Disast,ous Fire.

What threatened to be very disas- trous fire broke out shortly before 9 o'clack this morning in the T. r. Hutchinson block at APT South Main street. The building is a large one with stores on the ground floor and tenements on the upper floor and small one story ell on the north side, which was occupied by John Carosello, as a shoemaking shop and another man who kept shoe blacking chair and ill whose apartment the fire oc- cured. The fire spread both ways and soon had reached the shoemaking shop on the south side and Charley Sings laundry in the Moses Meyer building on the north side. From the laundry it worked it's way into the tenement of Charles Dahrouge, where most of the damage occurred. There are several large blocks in the i'm mediate vicinity and the smoke passed from one to the other so quickly it was hard to tell just where the fire was and in order not to make any mistake tenants fled in all directions, some leaving the Eldridge block and seeking shelter with neighbors. The tiremeu got to work on the one story structures occupied by the laundry and bootblack chair and also broke open the side of the three story block of MT Meyer. In this way they succeeded in preventing the flames from reaching farther north or south. so that with the exception of putting the Chinamen and boot black out of business, running all the furniture, the household effects of Charles Dahrouge, who hadn't cent of insurance, and the damage to tue building, the destruction of property was slight, although at times it looked as if that whole corner was going to be wiped out. Mir Meyer and MT Hutchinson are insured.
 Chief Snagg said the damages would. amount to about 5000, but after the laundryman and the owner of the chair make inventory and MT Dah- rouge replaces his furniture it is quite likely that the figures will go beyond that. Nobody knows how the fire started.
 The firemen worked to advantage at every possible point and although they were covered with ice and snow they kept at it with a vengeance until everything was safe. Mrs Maurice Noonan, who lives across the way, took in the situation and neryed the fire fighters to redoubled effort by sending out an abundant supply of hot coffee which was greatly appreciated, not only by the firemen but also the reporters, who came in for a share of it and drank long life and prosperity to the thoughtful woman who had talk en this way of lending helping hand to those who were battling with the fire king.

A KEEPER IN CHARGE. :
AanaSsr Esls Running the Hotel on
 Advice ofHis Attorney.

A keeper is in charge of the Hotel Connecticut, but Manager Eels will not even deign to notice him. Early last evening Sheriff Gillette attempted to serve an attachment on the hotel and lock up the kitchen and bar, thus practically locking up the whole place, but Manager Eels refused to ac- cept service, upon the advice of Col >Onel Burpee, counsel for John c. Smart, lessee of the hotel and trustee of the estate of George .. Pattee, for merly lessee. The keeper was then installed.
 The attachment was in favor of Louis F. Haase for $2,j00 and was one of the many consequences that have arisen from Mir Pattee's petition in bankruptcy. Mir Haase and four oth- CTS went on Mir Pattee's note for S22, 300. The note was paid by Mir Haase. MT Smart was another of the four who signed it. Yesterday the lease of the hotel, which runs for ten years more, was sold at auction in the office of Attorney W. II. Pierce to Attorney Freeman for $2,O10. Mir Freeman represented Mir Haasc in the matter.
 After the sale, Mir Haase leased the hotel to MT Smart for ten years. The first years rent is to be $5,OOO, the second $6,0O0, and the remaining eight $7,20O, payable in monthly in stallments of $500. MT Haase then decided to try to collect from MT Smart the note for $2,j00 which he paid for Mir Pattee, and to that end negotiations were opened with MT Smart But MT Smart refused to pay, whereupon Attorney Root, counsel for Mir Haase, issued the attachment which Sheriff Gillette attempted to serve upon Manager Eels last night. ] This afternoon there was hearing in New Haven before Referee New ton to have the sale of the lease and furnishings to Attorney Freeman ap- proved.

Found in a Fish.

A singular instance of tenacity in the digestion of fish is reported from Shef- field, England. The fish, a ling four feet long, had what appeared to be an ab- normally hard liver But the cutting up process revealed something far stranger. The supposed hard liver turned out to be piece of stout netting over two yards long and IA inches wide which had been pressed into the form of 8 football. How this mass came to be swallowed is a mystery. It was sug- gested that the fish, caught in the tolls of a fsherman's net, had tried to escape by devouring his prison walls.

Origin of a Phrase.

What is the derivation of the phrase Mad as hatter?' One explanation is that it was originally French. AS mad as an oyster" (huitre). that bivalve be- ing supposed to be exteremely unintel- lectual Another theory is that the phrase had reference to Collins. the Eng lish poet. author of the Ode to the Pas sions." He was a natter at Chichester. and if has been said that the lunatics with whom he was confined at one time called him "the natter" and that the phrase originated thus

left until called for, but many more DO
not.
The articles left in the steamer state
rooms are generally more valuable than
those forgotten on the trains. for the OBJ
vious reason that the steamer travellers
partly unpack their bags and put out
various toilet necessariest while. If wom-
en-, they take off their jewelry and other
ornaments for the night. Everybody VINO
wears false teeth can understand how
they may be forgotten in the glass OF
water in which they were placed at bed
time; and the number of watches iost
is easily explained by the fact that the
owners put them on chair or stand
in order to know when ITO rise In the
morning and then forget them in the
hurry of packing and departure. 1t Is
less obvious why SO many purses and
sums of money should have been forgot
ten; but the chances are that they were
placed under the pillows for safe-keep-
ing during the night and. not being in
sight when the owners arose in the morn
ing, were left where they were till I'M
covered by the employe charged with
the duty of searching the rooms.
If person when travelling, would take
a careful look over his stateroom and
about his seat in a car before leaving,
he would avoid all this trouble and an
noyance, and the transportation COM
panies swould be saved considerable
work, which, by the way. is performed
gratuitously.

The Singing Of the TolIer.

He toiled in the vineyard
Meath bright skies and gray.
Singing-"Rest will be Sweeter
For toling, some day.
And thanked God for Winter.
And blessed Him for May.
And looked to the Light of the Morning,
He sang with the reapers
That reaped through the years
The thorns with the roses,
The hopes with the fears,
And LiGht-it was bright
In the rain of his tears
The Light of the joy of the Morning.
He toiled in LIES vineyard
Keen thOrns at the breast
But still thrilled that singing
Of toll that was Dlest
With the roses of Love
And the lilies of Rest
And the Light of a beautiful Morning.
