Two still alarms over the telephone called out the Norwich fire department twice in the space of an hour and half on Monday afternoon. In each case the incipient blazes were smoth- cred before any extensive damage was done. Both calls were excellent tests of the speed of the motor driven fire apparatus.
 The first fire was at 66 High street in the two story frame dwelling house near the top of Lanman's lane, owned and occupied by Samuel Garilla. Chemical No. responded to the tele- phone call and were backed up by the men from the Central station. A de- feetive chimney was found te be the clause of tEc blaze, the mortar having been jared cut, so that when the soot inside caught fire the flames spread to the sttd1lng of the roof next to the chimney.

FOUND BROKEN RAIL.
New Haven Road Foreman's Vigilance Probably Averted a Wreck at Old Saybrook.

At Old Saybrook on Sunday morning Track Foreman James Connors of the New Haven road found on the east bound track a broken rail three feet long. Train 72 was due and it was Tagged and crossed over on to the other track, while the break was re- paired with a delay of only fifteen minutes A flaw in the rail and the frost caused the break, it is believed, and the foreman's vigilance almost certainly prevented another wreck on the Shore Line.

MONTVILlE TO GET
 TELEPHONE EXCHANGE Petition of Subscribers for Five Cent Rate Will Be Acceded To.

As a result of the petition which has been made to the Southern New England Telephone company by resi- dents of Montville for a five cent rate to this city, an exchange will probably be established in Montville which will give the subscribers in that town the reduction they desire. As it now stands the charge between Montville and New London is 15 cents, Mont vile being in the Norwich exchange.
 Saturday and Sunday the local tele- phone exchange moved it's office on the ground floor of the Crocker house annex, formerly occupied by the office of the constructing quartermaster of the New London artillery district. The exchange has been cramped in its present quarters and the removal of its business department to the first floor was necessary.

II Is taken for granted that Mexican

can be produced there and especially
elsewhere.
In this is an object lesson TO the tariff
