worked hard to hold the fire in check, doing good service, but it was seen that more help was needed to save the Allyn's Point property from de- struction. The oil-saturated wood burned fiercely and there was danger Of the fire spreading to much other property.
 Word was sent to Chief Stanton of the Norwich fire department with a re- quest to send a fire engine down, the railroad having 8 fiat car ready 10 take it. Chief Stanton could not loca te ether Alderman BeckIey or Mayor Murphy at first to get the necessary permission, but finally succeeded iii reaching the alderman, and permission was given. The chief had the engine and hremen standing ready to respond if the call should be urgent, but had doubts whether the Norwich engine would have been any use there, as 1t could not draft salt water without q small feed of fresh water for the boiler, and he did not know whether the fresh water could be obtained.
 Two tugs, the Hattie and the Cassie, were finally secured to come up from New London. One reached there sE ortly after 4 o'clock and the other later. Their two streams pumped fror1a the river were the big factors in eff fectually checking the fire and pre- venting its further spread.
 Two coal schooners at the wharf were hauled out into the stream to save them from the flames.

CREDITORS FAVOR GIVING
 FINISHING co. TIME
On Proposed Extension of Credit Half Have Sent Replies to That Effect.

George s. Munlford, president of the
 Commonwealth Trust company and
 chairman of the creditors committee
 on the United States Finishing com
 pany's affairs, is quoted in the Provi-
 dence Tribune as saying that more
 than one-half of the creditors of the
 Finishing company have replied favor ably on the proposed extension of six mos ths' credit for getting the affairs in shape and trying to keep the plant running. The assets. he says, com prise mostly real estate, machinery The company had out about S2, ,OOO = 900 in paper, it is said From S25,0o0 to $100,000 is understood to have been distributed among various banks with which the Finishing company regular ly did business, up to a total of s1 ,o00,- GOO and as much more was put out through note brokers, who sold the paper to other banks. A large part of this is in banks in New York and New England.
 If probably will be week or ten days. says MT. Munford, before the expert accountant finishes his exam ination of the books and until then the creditors committee probably will is sue no formal statement regarding probable action.
 It is thought by some creditors not connected with the committee, that the sale of s1,250,o00 first preferred stock may be part of the programme.
 It is conceded here that of the s2,300,-
 600 current liabilities of the corpora
 ton, s2.6e0.0oo represents notes pay

 some extent, by small banks in other
 parts of New England. So far as Providence is concerned, the amount of money at stake would cause DO ser ious trouble to it's banks, even were 1t to be changed of" ultimately The
 question now is one of ready money. at a time when the U. S. Finishing company is experiencing slow coIlec- tions.
