Chief Engineer CottreII and his fire.
men did efficient work early Saturday
morning in keeping the fire in Railroad
avenue confined to the Slocum build
ing, where 1t originated from an over
heated stove. The Slocum building is a
two story frame structure closely join
ed on one side by the Young stable
and on the other by the Stanton horse
shoeing shop, all wooden buildings and
owned by the A. L. Chester estate.
Although nearly o'clock in the
morning when the fire was discovered,
the firemen had water on the building
within six minutes after the alarm
was sent in. and by heroic work pre-
vented a big fire. Both stable and
blacksmith shop took fire, but the
flames were fought so vigorously that
the damage to these buildings was
comparatively slight. As a precaution-
airy measure the horses, carriages, har-
ness. etc, in the stable were removed.
The Slocum building is probably
burned beyoEd repair, and the contents,
composed Dhainly of second hand fur
niture, stoves, etc. were almost en-
tirely consumed.

Men and teams are busily az work
building the new road in the town of
Stonington that is TO connect with the
road built by the town of Westerly as
| an approach to the Norwich Westerly
trolley road bridge over the PaWcatuck
river. The work on the Connecticut
side of the river is being paid for by
subscriptions of people of Westerly and
North Stonington principally, the land
being given for highway purposes.
When the road is completed 1t will
make short cut between Westerly and
North StoningtOn, and divert the ye-
hicular traffic that now passes through
the village of Pawcatuck, and that is
one or the reasons why a Stonington
town meeting refused to build its por-
lion OF the new road that was planned
over the new trolley bridge
several men interested in the extern
sion of this highway to the North
Stonington road have suggested that
the new highway be named Peabody
avenue for Judge Thomas H. Peabody,
as 1t Is mainly through his efforts that
the road viii become a reality.
Thirty years ago he was the prime
mover in bridging the Pawcatuck for
highway to North Stonington hut
not exactly at the present location. He
succeeded In having commissioners an
pointed in the state of Connecticut to
investigate and report on the subject
the commission being composed OF
Thomas NJ. Waller. John Brewster and
Nathan w. Ayres, but the commission
made unfaVolah,e report and II was
said at the time for political reasons.
AS a member of the Westerly town
council. Mr.. Peabody drew the fran
chise for the Norwich and Westerly
trolley road and insisted on a clause
that compelled II to build and maintain
over the Pawcatuck river a driveway
for vehicles and sidewalk for pedes-
TRANS. This was done. Then Mr. Pea
body recommended appropriation for
bulldlng Tnacadam road as approach
to the bridge. After this was compIet- |
ed the town of Stonington refused to
cooperate hence the appellation 1.-The |
road that leads to Nowhere"
Mr.. Peabody also became interested
in this later and successful proposition

BROADWAY THEATER.
"The Merry Widow"

The musical sensation of the last quarter century-"The Merry Widow" l is to be the attraction at the Broad | way theater this evening. Henry w. Savage is sending his original Boston company here to present this tuneful Viennese operetta and with it will come the famous English grand opera or chestra.
 "The Merry Widow" comes here fresh from it's sensational run of eighteen weeks at the Fremont theater, a run which will be talked of for de- cades and which will be used as a standard to com pare other successful engagements with.
 While everything connected with "The Merry Widow is fascinating, the supposition is that the famous waltz dominates all. The entire score, how ever, is enchanting and variety is it's potent charm. One minute 1t is bac- chanalan, furious and irresistible; the next it floats into the clouds of revery and poetic sweetness, and tn" next it intoxicates with it's subtle seductive ness.
 MT. Savage has mounted it with his customary Javishuess. There is abun- dant opportunity for elaborate sce:ffc display. The three acts show the in terior of the Marsovian embassy in Paris on the evening of a state ball, beautiful rose garden on the evening of a fete. and the interior of Maxim's famous all-night restaurant. This last scene is a furious whirlwind of riotous fun and effervesccnt gayety. It is an exact reproduction of Things As They Are in this worldfamous Bohemian resort.
 The dainty young woman who has literally had Boston at her feet dur ing the past five months Lima Abar- banel. will be seen here in the title role of Sonia the widow. Her performance is described by Boston critics as being brilliant and delightfully."- fascinating. She brings to her interpretation of the role a soprano voice of exceptional sweetness and charm: a sure command of the technique of acting, and such an abundance of high spirits that she may al times be said to be almost excessive ly alive.
 oscar Figman. than whom there is no more finished character comedian on the American stage, will have the role of Ambs ssador Popoff, and John Thomas, always unctious and always laughable. win have the role of MT. Nish. Other members of the company are William C. Wilson, Carolyn Sed- ley F. J. Mccarthy and Charles Mea- kinS
