THE BUSY BURGLAR
New Milford Stores Robbed To- Day of Several Hundred
 Dollars Worth of Goods.

New Milford, Jan 14-Three stores in this place were visited by burglars early today and between five and six hundred dollars worth of goods taken. The stores that were entered were: P. M. Cassady, stationers, on Main street, Hatch X Dewey, cloth iers, on Bank street, and the Farm CTS Trading Co.'S general store on Church street. The work was evi- denty done by three men, as at each place articles were taken ill lots of three. Especially at the clothing store, where three old suits had been left in exchange for new ones, was this evident. The stores were all en- tered by breaking q window and in each case the tills were robbed, but none of the safes were blown open, so that only a small amount of cash was taken It is thought that the work was done by tramps, as there has been an unusual number about here lately

SENATE PR0DS C0RTELY0U.
Agrees to Await Seoretary's Report on
 Bond Manipulation.

Washington, Jan. 14.-After a short discussion concerning the recent bond issue of the treasury department the senate agreed that before taking up the question in detail it would await a re- port by the secretary of the treasury, which Mir. Aldrich assured senators would be before them tomorrow.
 Mir. Clay (Ga) asked whether the secretary was not required to make a report of bond issues, and Aldrich re- piled that he believed he was so re- quired, but there was no provision of law stipulating how the reports should be made. Mir. Culberson insisted that the duty of the secretary was to make such a statement on or before Jan. l for the preceding year, but he said he had not seen any such statement.
 Mir. Tillman referred to two resolu- tions of his calling for information concerning clearing house certificates and the bond issue, which had remain ed on the calendar since Dec. Q, and said he thought it would be best to let them go to the committee on finance. He said he wished to lay correspond ence on this subject before the com mittee and had read from the vice presidents desk a letter from George H. Kloebers of Wilmington. Del, say ing that he had bid an average of 104I5 for S10,0O0 of Panama bonds and had not received any of them, although they had sold for 1O2ls. NIT.

TRAIN ABLAZE.
Gas Explosion on Naugatuck Division
 Ignites Car.

Winsted, Jan l4.-Arthur Bennett of Bridgeport, an express messenger on the Naugatuck division of the New York, New Haven X Hartford railroad, had narrow escape from death as the result of gas explos- ion in his car about two miles south of this place shortly after , o'clock last night. He was badly burned about the head and face, but his in- iuries are not regarded as serious.
 The car caught fire and was lowed a distance of two miles ablaze from end to end, and with the flames leap- ing high into the air, to the nearest sIdetrack at Burrville. where it was reduced to ashes. The train, which was a passenger train. left Wlnsted at bO5 in charge of Conductor Fowler of Bridgeport. and had reached point about two miles south of here when Bennett attempted to light the gas in the express car. Just as he struck the match. the plug of the storage battery blew out and the gas ignited, the flames spreading rapidly to all parts of the car.
 Although badly burned Bennett had the presence of mind to throw on the emergency brake and when the train men reached the car. he was throwing out the express matter, all of which was saved. The car was uncOupled md a dash made for the siding. The flames burst through the roof and it was in reality a stream of fire as 1t sped through the valley. The train later proceeded to Torrington where another car and a new express mes fenger were taken on
