 Appreciation of Firemsn.

X Chief Howard L. Stanton received on Sunday check for $1O0 from Arthur H. Brewer. treasurer of the Chappeli- Ely company and of the Edward Chap pen company. which is an expression of their appreciation of what good work was done by the Norwich dremen in the fire last Wednesday night in their property on Central wharf. The money will be added to the fremen's s fund. and win make much appreciat- ed addition.
 On Sunday, Chief Stanton had men at the ruins and three or four streams from the hydrants playing all day. Crowds of good size were on hand to watch the ruins, but the rain of the afternoon cut down the crowd that might have been expected with clear day.
 One of the thoughtful and helpful actions which has come to light in connection with the fire was in Fred eriek L. Osgood bringing down his reel of $50 feet of hose, which hs held in readiness in case any were needed on the east side Of the river. As all the hose which the department had was in use this would have been oi l much use if 1t had been needed. I
