Fire Sweeps Sprout Land

A fire that started near Attawaugan swept over forty or fifty acres of sprout land, threatening several houses and calling for the hardest kind of fire fighting to protect valuable property. The damage will amount to S600 or $500.
 The fire started Thursday morning when man left brush fire uuattend- ed while he went to mill with a rela- tiveis dinner. When he returned the fire was beyond his control. Help was summoned and it was thought the fire was out. 1t broke out again and all of the forenoon it ragged reaching Putnam Heights and for time threatened the pine grove near the Dr. Harris place.
 Friday the fire again broke out and reached alarming proportions. Men were rushed from all around. The At tawaugan Company sent their motor truck with some twenty or more men. Putnam sent twenty or more. These men were rounded up by Mayor Mac donald. They comprised city laborers and men who were working relaying the trolley track on Elm street. When the man in charge of the gang was asked If he could spare his men to fight fire he responded immediately.
 The fire threatened the residence of Dr. E. M Harris, of Providence, on the Heights, also the residences of Ros- COG Chase and Allen Warren, where the roots caught fire and men with buckets mad to guard the houses. It Is estimated that sprout land is dam. aged by fire at the rate of BIO per acre. This with some large timber spoil ed will bring the damage up to between $500 and $500. The fire was under control about , o'clock in the after noon. Back ires which were set kept the fire out of timbe rland.

New ParoshiaI School Quarters

Next Tuesday when the Parochial schools open the new quarters in the old convent building will be occupied. Carpenters, plumbers and painters have been working about the building all summer changing and remodeling the interior and it will make a model school building for the several hundred children in St. Mary's parish. Most of the Sisters of the Holy Ghost, the new order who will have charge, have arrived from Hartford.
 Rev. C. F. Bedard, who has care fully supervised the work Of changing over the building, says that the buiid- ing now has twelve rooms. These are equipped with the furnishings from the old school building, which has been razed, and have been made com fortable, well lighted, finely ventilated and we'll suited for the purpose to which they are to be put.
 The Sisters have part of the build ing reserved as a convent. There are to be sixteen Sisters here when school opens but all of the number are not yet here, but will be within few days.
 Notwithstanding that twelve class rooms have been provided, with con vent reservations in the building, the upper floor of the structure will re- main vacant during the present year. Ii more school rooms are needed in the future, this upper floor may be devoted to the use of the Sisters and the pres ent convent changed into school rooms.
 Work on the building is practically completed excepting for some minor things that need attention. What the cost of the changes that have been made will be, he could not say, as the wtrk has not been done by contract and all of the bills have not ss yet been received.

Mrs. George Fine is ill in Wor- cester hospital.
 Walter Carle of Boston has been spending his three weeks vacation with his wife and family at the home of Mrs, Charlotte Gascoigne, South Main street. Several parties were held in MT. Carle's honor while he was here, one of them being an automobile trip to .Southbridge where the guests were entertained at dinner by Mrs. Carle's uncle, Leland F.. Bradley.
 Fin street has been torn up the whole length from May street to Front street this week. The work has been rushed by large gang of men and this week should see all of the new rails laid. The inconvenience necessarily entailed to travellers is eheerfuily borne when one stops to irealize that this popular thoroughfare is at last to be put in thorough condition. The ma. teriai to be used is amasite, patent road material that has been tried and found to make an excellent roadbed. Just how far the work will be carried is not known, but it will at least be carried to Bugbee corner.
 At the meeting Of the directors of the Putnam Water company, acting as trustees to close up it's business, the necessary steps required by the laws of this state tor final dissolution of the company, were taken. All of it's liabilities have been settled, and ac- tion was taken on the final accounts of the treasurer, Ebert Wheeler, and the necessary reports to the state authori- ties were taken or authorized. The ac- counts of the treasurer show, after in- itial distribution of s2l0,00o in Octo- Der, 1912, balance above all claims and allow ances and available fer final dis tribution $9, ,450. Stockholders on Oc- tober last received si20 share and now each stockhoIder will receive s5.4o for each share of stock sent in to the treasurer for final liquidation.

 Coroner Bill began holding an In. quest in the city court room at nine o'clock. The inquest lasted all day and was not concluded at five o'clock when 1t adjourned.
 Among those who were summoned in and appeared before the coroner at Tuesdays session were George A, Vaughan, Jr,, Benjamin n. Gagne, Dewitt Arthur Ray, Arthur Tetreault, Howard Y. James, John Lassey, Thomas Cannon, Benoit Tetreault, Albert r, Hazen, Frank Praeciciano, 'D. Desarino, Nicola Dinorfetto, Mrs. Frank Roze, widow of the man killed in the shooting affair.
 The hearing was held behind closed doors and little information was given out. IL is understood that the move ments of both Roze and Minervi have been followed from the time they left home until the shooting occurred. It  is also believed that ,the officials have knowledge o. the quarrel and what lead up to the murder, and that il started over trivial matter in sal oon on Livery street. Minervi ha: been living in the shanty with th, gang that Is laying water pipes nea the old fair grounds but it was only after continued questioning that thin fact was learned.
 The inquest was continued Wednes day morning when Minervi told his story. He was taken to the scene ol the shooting and pointed out where h, stood and where Roze and the mer with him stood. He sticks to tn, story that he was shot at first and thai he then opened fire. He was taken |, Brooklyn jail on orders of Corone Bill pending his final decision in th, inquest. IL is probable that Winery will be brought before the Superio court on bench. warrant.
