FINGERS WERE COLD.
So Wilson Made a Fire 10 Warn
 Them in W. s. Jones Barn.

This morning word was telephoned to the police station that an attempt was made last night to burn a barn on Pearl street owned by w. S. Jones, the Bank street clothier.
 Detective Dodds took up the case and finally learned the whole story from colored man named Wilson, who admitted that ne was hitching up horse there at o'clock this morning and his fingers got so cold he couldn't move them and in order to proceed with his work he found it necessary to have a fire. He col lected lot of papers and rubbish and started nice fire on the barn floor When he got good and warm he kicked the smoldering embers out into the yard and then went on his way rejoicing. Later on somebody noticed the dying embers and at once concluded that an unsuccessful effort had been made to start big fire. It was a strange thing for a man to do, but the fellow told the truth about it and it is not likely that there will be any further trouble over it.

SNOW BLOCKED TRoLLEYs.
Many Disgruntled Passengers Held
 Up at Noon Hour.

The storm of to-day had plenty of fun with the trolley cars going up North Willow street during the noon hour, but it was anything but anus ing to the persons who were on their way to dinner. The passengers on one Norwood car were held up about fifteen minutes in the center and aft CT the start was made, the car went along at snail's pace. The passen- gers were "dee-lighted" with the progress that was beeing made and the remarks flew thick and fast. "The members of the company should be arrested for collecting fares for such a ride as this," declared one fellow. Well, if we continue to travel at this rapid pace we will arrive home before 6 o'clock" said another" !" Where's the fellow that said we were receiving the best service in the state," chimed in the third. Such remarks were heard all along the line except at intervals when a jerk of the car which was overcrowded would throw some of the passengers against others who were fortunate to have a seat.

WINTER IS HERE
Coldest Snap of the Season Came
 Last Night Followed By To-Days Storm
ICE DEALERS SMILING

New Haven, Jan 17.-Genuine win- ter weather, the second sample of that variety experienced since early December, caused general warming up of furnace fires all over the state to-day, the cold snap being very se- were. Not since early in December when the mercury dropped to doz- en degrees below zero in some parts of the states, has Connecticut shiver- ed as 1t did to-day. Early in the morning light snow fell and the in- dications are that it will continue all day. In some parts of the state the thermometer dropped below zero and HIS usual there are cold reports from Winsted and vicinity. Winsted showed five degrees below in the mid- dle of the morning.
 If the cold snap continues for q day or two longer there probably will be no such conditions as were exper- fenced last summer in regard to ice, as the ice dealers will harvest at the earliest possible moment. not losing day in which to store up crop for the hot weather. Early in December some ice was cut in the western and northwestern parts of the state. but by no means enough to supply the de- mand, in fact some dealers were un- able to lay by ton. As the present cold spell is general throughout the state. the chances are that plenty of ice will be harvested.

NOISELESS PAVING
Bank Street Business Men Col u
 To-Day Without the Asking.

John B. Mullings, W. s. Jones and others who fought against Judge Pcasley and his packers the other night for quiet pavement on Bank street appears to have won their point. and curiously enough the judge didn't lose either. The former want cd something that would make less noise than the blocks and the latter thought the work should not be done at the expense of the city or the ad- joining property owners. The street is covered to-day with a beautiful white substance and carts roll over it without making the least noise. Both sides won. but the material used may not prove very durable aud it IS likely that the old trouble will crop up again before long. Anyway 1t is settled for the present.

That is What the Dairymen ol Connecticut Are Advocating
 al Convention in Hartford
PRESIDENTS ADDRESS
Told Dairymen They Must Raise the Standard of Milk and Bulter Even if It Costs More Money
 toDo So.

Hartford, Jan 17.-An appeal for higher standard of milk, butter and cream was the keynote of the ad- dress made at the annual convention of the Connecticut .Dairymen's con- vention here to-day by President H. o. Daniels of Middletown. He said ill part: When H. O. Averill, state cattle commissioner, submitted the report of his commission to the gov ernor he sounded this very potent dairy truth: Consumers who are paying less than cents a quart for milk during the stabling season for cows may rest assured that they are doing little or nothing to, encourage the improvement of the conditions surrounding the production of sani- tary milk.
 Every word of this sentence be- lieve to be absolutely true. You who take pride in furnishing strict y flrst-class sanitary dairy milk, as I know every man of you do, how long can you continue the high standard you have chosen without you get fair remuneration for your work? Either one of two things must take place. The price of milk must be made remunerative accord. ing to the quality of the product, oi else less labor must be employed, less time used on each individual COW grooming her and keeping everything neat and clean, for time is money whether it is your own or hired la borer's.
 No, let us not lower our standard but rather let us raise it still higher l Let us make our milk and cream an6 butter pure and clean, of the very highest excellence, and I believe 1T all cases when this is done your pa irons will appreciate 1t and become ready to meet your price. Advertise the fact that you are producing youl 1 dairy. products along these lines. In vite your patrons to inspect youl herds, system, stables and conditionl at all times and 1t will result in mucf profit to you.
 Milk is the first demand of ths infant, the last refuge of the invalid and you dairymen of Connecticut art a part of this great necessary system The time has gone by for careless ol
 unstudied methods. The presen
 calls for all that is best in the man
 The time demands pure dairy food Our privilege is to meet this demand
 which takes us out of thet old ruti
 of habit and places us in a position to stand the equal of any profession on earth today"

Killing the Deer.

Bangor, Me. Jan 1I.-Depredations by the Canadian Lynx and bob cat which have come down from across the Canadian border in large numbers this winter are working havoc with the deer and other game of the Maine woods according to reports received from the northern sections. So bold have the animals become that they have penetra d as far south as Nor cross. we'll down into Pcnobscot county where several deer have been recently killed. Quantities of smaller game also fall prey to the unwelcome visitors and the success of next years hunting season is jeopardized by their encroachment.

NO PLUMS FOR US
. The Republicans of the Sl1le Wouldn't Allow Waterbury
 Man to Be Court Judge
MUCHDEAPPOINThIElvT

Although the republicans Of this city seem to work just as earnestly for their party as the members Of the g. Q. p. in other cities of the state. it is strange that when tho plums are distributed the Waterbur- fans receive very little consideration. A striking example was in evidences during the week when City Attorney John P. Kellogg was left out in the cold as regards the superior court ap- pointments. The promotion of Mir Kellogg was considered a dead sure thing, but the tip went wrong and the republicans were again disap. pointed. Many of MT Kellogg's fels low workers were so confident that he would be given a place on the bench that they were looking over the field for some one to fill his shoes. Representative Abner P. Hayes was looked upon as the man for the chair. manship of the judiciary committee. that is by some of the Waterhuriaus. but that was all there was to 1t. Tho republicans of Waterbury when it comes to having confidence statewise seem to be in the second or third rate class.

FIRE AT AUBURN.
Bremen Worked HeroicalIy in Bitter Cold and Saved Property,

Bremen Worked HeroicalIy in Bitter
 Cold and Saved Property.
 Auburn, R. l.. Jan 17-Heroic work in the bitter cold early to-day saved large portion of the town of Auburn from destruction by fire and confined the flames to two struc- lures at a loss of about $25,000. The flames broke out from some unknown cause in the weave shop occupied by the A. A. A. Spooling and Winding Co and the Auburn Braiding Co. This isa one story wooden structure. Be- fore the local volunteer fire depart ment, handicapped by the zero weather, could get the flames under control a strong wind swept the fire across the street to the three story wooden structure used by the town for it's primary and intermediate school grades An engine was then summoned from Providence.
 About forty freight cars which were standing on the adjacent tracks of the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad were threatened and the operator in the switch tower telegraphed to the Providence yards for locomotive. This made quick four mile run and by energetic work on the part of the train crew all the cars were shunted out of danger. Nearby dwellings, were somewhat scorched.
 The loss to the occupants of the
 weave shop is placed at between $7,- 500 and $10,000 and the loss to the town on the schoolhouse and furnish ings is estimated at about $15,000. -Aere is a partial insurance.
