the operation of the works until he had more funds to begin with and that he proposed using the lime kiln now that he had enough to do it. B. l. Spock. who appeared for the New York, New Haven & Hartford Rail- road Company. said the company would remove the tracks. formerly of the Shepaug branch. whenever the town so wished.
 Losses by Fire.
 A chimney fire in B. A. Pinckney's pied by MT. and Mrs. Harvey and MT. and Mrs. John Barrett, created quite an excitement in that vicinity last Thursday. Most of the contents of the house were removed in the fear the house would be destroyed. The fire was extinguished with only a slight loss.
 The home of Mrs. Gilbert Ballard, located in Beaver Brook, Danbury. burned to the ground with all of it's contents Monday evening. Without means to combat the fire, the men who hurried to the scene devoted all of their attention to saving the contents of the Scofield home, situated just west of the Ballard home. The fire started when a kerosene lamp ex- a large space of the first floor. Mrs. Ballard. unable to extinguish the flames. ran to the Scof1eld home. The Ballard home was a frame structure, two sories high. The flames spread with great rapidity. It Is considered very fortunate that the flames did not to the Scofield home. It is understood that Mrs. Ballard car- ried some insurance.

seven days ago and arrangements for his funeral were begun. He still lives, although the same physicians declare he has not drawn nor exaa,led breath in all the seven days. The doctors .say it is an astounding case of sus- lsended animation. When they irri- t;tte a nerve center or a great nerve in MT. Shirdivene's body with a nee dle, some of the muscles supplied by the nerve respond to the irritation. So the muscles are alive. Besides, the detesriofative changes that take place soon after death are lacking. Shfrdi- vene is in the same physical condition as before his demise" But he an- swers to none of the severest tests to determine whether or not a man lives except to nerve irritation.
 Opposes the Town.
 The petition of the sefectnren of the town of Bethel. asking for the removal of spur tracks reaching to lime kiln in that town and which was received by the railroad commission January A. came before the commissioners "Wednesday morning. Selectmen Will liaru F. Bailey. Clarence T. Hfckok and William P. English appeared for the cown. MT. Bailey asked for the re- movsL of the tracks to eliminate the grade crossings. The railroad com mission had ordered that the Shepaug branch be discontinued. The tracks connecting with the lime kiln had been left for switching purposes. The town at the time had objected to this. after talking with William A. Miles of the Bethel 6. Bedding Lime Com pany. who said he was ready to start up business. if the town withdrew ob- jections But MT. Bailey said noth- ing has been done with the kiln. and the town wanted the tracks removed. MT. Miles was opposed to the re- moval of the tracks. He said that he had invested s35. .00o in the lime kiln property. that he had been delaying
