 The house which is being remodel led was built by Tom Thumb after he ret1Hned from a successful tour of Eur8pe with P. T. Barnum. It was what is called a, double house with high veranda and a gallery in front. and modelled after the style of archi- lecture in much favor years ago in the south. In fact the building is said to have been a replica. of house which Tom Thumb saw during one of his southern rdps with the circus. For a time he lived in one part of it. At his death it passed into other hands. The PeQuonnock club at one time oc- cupfed it and lately the property has changed hands often. MT. Scheichert bought it last fall. He has not de- cided whether he will manage the thea4re himself or rent it to someone else.

Pharmacist Cox Is Nearly Blinded at
 Emergency Hospital

While preparing some carbolic acid ointment at the emergency hospital yesterday afternoon, Clerk Thomas F. Cox was nearly blinded when some of the acid, 95 percent pure carbolic, spat- tered, striking him in the face and eyes.
 Almost overcome by the pain Cox cried out to pr. Finnegan who was near at hand and the doctor immedi- ate1y gave him emergency treatment. The fact that the doctor was present when the acid spattered and was able to treat Cox immediately was all that saved the young man from losing his eyesight entirely.
 As it is, he is confined to his home and it will be a long time before he will be able to have the bandages re- moved from his eyes

Agreement Not In Sight for County's Acquiring
 Land Next to Court House

No statement was Issued today re- garding the conference held yesterday to arrange for the purchase by the county of land adjoining the county court house. It is reported, however, that no agreement could be reached be- tween the Hall Home Corporation, which owns the property, and the committee representing the county
 It is desired to have an understand ing about the purchase price because thereby both the county and the own CTS can save money: In any event it will be necessary to condemn the land but it will be much cheaper if the pro ceeGings are of a friendly nature. An other conference will probably be held soon.
