WiTCHVlLLE HAUNT
IN TOWN OF MONTViLLE
Ruins of Old Farmhouse Built There
About 1870.

There's a spot in the town of Mont
vile about which little has been heard
in recent years, yet which for scenery
and pleasant location is not excelled
by any on or near the Thames river.
This property is located on the north
SIDE of Haughton cove, the land rising
by easy grade from the water to the
crest, from which a fine view of New
London and surrounding country is
obtained.
On the crest are the ruins of an old
farmhouse-just how old even the town
records fail TO show. The old and mas
slVe stone chimney, large enough to
contain the ordinary summer cottage,
is as strong a g when built, away back
about 1900. There is a date on the
chimney, accompanied by the word De-
catur The date is probably 1850, but
by whom put on no one knows.
In the past decade its former owner,
the late John B. Lathrop, made use of
the place as a summer rest and it was
quite favorite resort for several Nor
Wich people. Four of the oio horse
cars which were used in Norwich were
taken there and placed around the old
chimney, a substantial wooden roof
built over ALL and SO accommodation
for several family groups was made.
On part of the site Of the old house a
connection with the old cars.
The place was named, years ago.
Witchville Haunt, and the name is still
visible on a piece of old hand hewed
board over the gateway. A year or SO
ago the property was purchased by
Frank w. Browning of Norwich from
the Lathrop estate. The upper portion
forms one Of the most likely places for
a large fruit farm and Mr. Browning
has already planted several thousand
peach and other fruit trees. This year
the tiliable land has been put down to
a potato crop and several thousand
bushels have already been harvested.
1t is believed that the first man to
settle there was q Rogers, but of that
history there is nothing except vague
tradition to be obtained. Whether dur
ing the period when Decatur made
history in Haughton cove he and his
men were visitors at the old place can
not be accurately determined but the
probability is that they Wera.

New London had one of it's most
costly fires Thursday morning from IL
70 IL O'Clock. when flames broke out in
the cellar of the Patterson & Peterson
candy store. No. 127 State street, and
ragged with fury that put the firemen
TO the test to subdue it, The firemen
We're equal to the task and they did
excellent work
The fire started when the furnace
was put into use for the first time
this season. How it started was de-
ciared to be by filling the furnace
with light wood and scraps of packing
from cases in the cellar. The furnace
was filled with the very inf1ammabie
material, and then match was APP
piied- The flames roared furiousiy
and then the feed door of the
heater was opened to put in more ma
terial to burn. A brand of fire was
thrust out into the cellar by the draft
anG the burning brand went into a
heap of material in the cellar that at
once created a fire that endangered
the entire property
The employees of the millinery store
OF Mrs: w. G. Glidden We're driven out
Immediately. They remained as long
as they could. and left the store SO
hurriedly that they had not time to
get their outer garments, SO quickly
| did the store fill with smoke and 50
frightened was everyone in the place
The tea store of James Kiely. next
store was in the same fix that the
Glidden store was, and proprietor and
clerks were driven to the street. The
law offices above the candy store, oc-
cupied by John G. Geary. Marion r.
Davis, John Sullivan and James Cas-
ey, were filed with the dense smoke,
and the photography rooms of Hale
were also uninhabitable because OF
the smoke.
Charles r. Morris dental office was
also smoke filed and the tenements
of Daniel Lake and James Bence in
the third story of the building were
also filled. All the occupants of the
building fed to the street. except the
more courag eous of the tenants. They
remained until they should be notified
from the street to get out.
The Goldsmith store, the Bee Hive,
was damaged considerably by smoke.
for great clouds of it rolled out Of
the. two ca stern stores. From the eel
lars of the building smoke issued in
tremendous volume and filed the
stores so that it was impossible to
see through the plate glass windows.
The Bee Hive was closed because of
the Jewish celebration, but the pro-
prietors We're notified and appeared
very shortly. The store of Nichols &
Harris. next east of the Kiely store,
was somewhat smoked, but not to
the extent that the other stores suf-
fered.

new LONDON LOSES BY FIRE
Much Damage Done by Smoke and Water-Started in
Cellar Of Candy Kitchen in State Street.

Streams of water were put into the
Patterson & Peterson cellar, and
though the fire gave a. stubborn resist
ance. the water finally did the trick
and drowned out the fire. The cellar
bottom was flooded with water to a
depth of two feet or more. Streams
were also carried through the hall
way on the west side of the Bee Hive
and into the east Bee Hive store, as
well as up the stairway between the
candy kitchen and the Kelly store. IT
was nearly an hour before with the
steady streams of water flowing, the
fire was subdued.
Many firemen were overcome by the
smoke, though they wore smoke pro
tectors that permitted breathing
through the nostrils and which COW
cred the mouth, and the free use of
wet sponges to keep the smoke from
the lungs. Every company in the de-
partment responded quickly to the
alarm, and the firemen did most excel
lent work. When the fire had been
subdued it was found that the princi-
pal destruction by the flames was j
space 10 feet square in the Candy
Kitchen.
The fire was confined to ten cellar
where it originated, so that the dam
age to the building and to the stocks
of goods in it was from smoke. That
damage is, however, very large. for
the smoke was dense enough to cut al
most.
1t is estimated that the loss will be
SO, 600.
The S. A Goldsmith company is
likely to be the greatest loser. Mr.
Goldsmith said that he could not tell
what his company's loss would be, that
it was a thing impossible to estimate
He thought that $500 or $4,000
worth of goods would be damaged &C
some extent by smoke.
Patterson & Peterson could not give
a well defined estimate on their loss
Mr. Patterson said the stock and fix
lures, practically totally destroyed
would inventory between $4,000 and
Sc, 900.
Mr. Kelly said that his stock, which
would inventory at $4,000. was a total
loss. Canned goods, teas and coffee
were rendered unsaleable by the dense
smoke. His fixtures were largely be-
yond repair
Mrs. Glidden could for mno idea OF
what her loss would amount to. The
stock, estimated to value $4,000, is in
jured by the smoke.
The building, owned by the Hebron
estate and Richard C. Morris Jointly
is insured. but whether the insurance
will cover the extent of the damage
the agent Mr.. Morris. was una BILE to
state. 1t is possible the damage to the
building viii exceed s5.o0O.
All of the stofekeepers and tenants
of Offices carry insurance
