What is believed to have been over pressure upon the steam heating boil CTS beneath the Longfellow school at 9.30 this morning caused a blow-off from the boilers which suddenly filled the entire building with 8 blinding cloud of steam That panic was ayerted among the hundreds of schol- ars in that building is ascribed to the coolness of the principal. Miss Mary A. Suspicion and her efficient corps of teachers, who immediately gave the children's wraps and caps marched them out of the steam filled building and dismissed them without the least display of nervousness or attempted panic.
 about the school building at the time of the blow-off, he was unable to pene- trate into the steam filled boiler room, and fearing that an explosion might ensue the adjoining section of the Longfellow school building was also dismissed. With the aid of fremen called from the neighboring engine house. No. ', the windows of the base ment and building were opened and the steam escape checked. After a general inspection of. the plant, Jani- tor Larney declared that danger need not be feared and school was resum- ed at the afternoon session.

STR. HARTFORD BLOWN
 AGROUND BY WIND


 Hartford, Jan. 13-lThe steamer Hart ford. of the Hartford and New Fork line went aground hard and fast at Rock Landing just above Haddam in the Connecticut river early this morn ing while on her way to this city from New York and was unable to pull off until about II o'clock this forenoon. By that hour. so thick was the ice. (about five inches) and it was mak- ing so rapidly even at midday, that the company officials decided to quit navigation for the season then and there.
 Orders were telephoned to Captain Charles R. Bacon. of the Hartford to turn around, put back to saybrook Point and there discharge his freight and then go to drydock at Hoboken.
 It had been planned that the steam CT should make her final trio from Hartford to New York this after : noon. The grounding was due to the fierce northerly gale which blew the water out of the river and made it as low as is usual in the dry est time in mid d-sunmer.. The Hartford had hard time coming through the Sound last night.

 AS Jesuit of this advertisement. the claim was made at the Blumen- thai mills that 50f men were secured. But the strikers discount this number. Labor men here declare nevertheless that there is no doubt that several men have come here from Boston as
 
 the employment bureau.
 Officials of the Boston Central La bor Union. who have been interested in the investigation of the case, have written to local labor men that they expect a formal investigation by the Boston body as result of the in- formal complaints that have come from Shelton. But in order to tn- sure action, it is planned to register a formal kick at the regular meeting.
 The zero blasts that swept the Hou- satonic valley in the gray dawn made picket duty a trying ordeal. but there was goodly number of sentries at their task at daybreak.
 ttr9o. not 9 single one, said Mati1- da Rabinowitz, the strike leader. when asked if any one had returned to the mills.
 The strikers held their usual meet ings this forenoon and afternoon, but the attendance was smaller than us ua1. This was laid to the intense cold For the same reason there were very few people on the streets, and the policemen and deputies on duty kept on the sunny sides of the corner buildings as much as possible There was little occasion for their activities Tonight the board of hurgesses vii meet, with Warden George Barlow presiding. It is expected there vii be considerable discussion of tn, strike conditions and the heavy ex- pense the labor trouble has brough. on the town.
 There was some expectation t1aa Sidney Blumenthal. the president O the corporation owning the mills would visit Shelton today, but thi afternoon Attorney Howard B. Peck president of the Derby board of trade said that he had not heard from hin and did not know that he would be il town He said he knew of no develop ments in the plans of the merchant and manufacturers to bring about settlement.
