 A triple alarm from box 41 called the whole of the fire department to a dangerous looking fire in the barn in the rear of the property of Victor 1 Chapdelaine on Pomfret street, at 11.25 a. m. Tuesday. The fire started in woodshed and had reached the barn before being discovered. Several on the street had seen the smoke rolling over the Rich and Wagner blocks. but supposed that it came from Hammond. Knowlton & Co.'s silk mill When the first company arrived, the upper part of the barn was a mass of flames, which were licking the building of Nazaire Peloquin across narrow al- ley. Three Hines of hose were laid, but as the water in the hydrants was frozen, it was more than five minutes before the firemen succeeded in get ting water on the flames, and, when they did, the fire had burst through rapid progress. About this time the smoke got very thick in the barber shop of D. Allard, on the second floor ow the Peloquin building. With the help of some of the spectators, Mir. Ailard succeeded in moving the most
 
 to the shoe shop, vacating the prem ises in record time.
 Through the efforts of A. L. Mans field with a bucket, the fire had been kept away from the storehouse in the rear of Mansfield & Co.'S grocery store until the hose was laid, but when the water failed to come the fire got a good start, and the result is that Mir. Mansfield lost several hundred dol lars worth of groceries by water.
 By doing some excellent work the department succeeded in getting the fire under control at 1920. MT. Chap delaines barn is practically destroyed and his saloon building damaged. Mir. Peioquin's building suffered slightly. and Mansfield & Co suffered several hundred dollars damage to their stock. MT.
