Wallingford, Nov 3-Thls town was the scene of one of the most spectacu- lar fires in several years when tho res- idence of William McKerness on the Long Hill road was burned to the ground late yesterday afternoon The
 fire started from the shimney in the Kitchen which was situated in an ell from the main building, The house was out of reach of the hydrants and the few pails of water from the well were of no avail in checking the flames. The alarm was sounded from box 43 corner of Center and Constitution streets shortly after o'clock and the Simpson Hook and Ladderand the Hub bard company reported, The hremen and some citizens who were nearby did excellent work in removing articles of furniture from the blazing building and sewing machine was the only ar- tiCe lost. The flames spread rapidly and by 5.l5 o'clock when the recall was sounded a mass of smouldering ruins was all that were left. Mrs McKier- ness and two of the children were in the house at the time the fire occurred and Mir. McKierness was only short distance away. He is wood worker and employed in New Haven at the C. $. Morslck company The wind was blowing in an eastery direction and that alone saved the barn. which was near the house from being destroyed.
 Only a short time ago MT McKier- ness had refinlshed and decorated the rooms on the first floor and expended considerable money The loss is plac- ed at $3,000 partly covered by lnsur- ance through the H. l., Davis company.
