THREE STORY HOUSE IS
 DESTROYED BY FIRE

Waterbury, Conn, Jan. 15-A three story frame structure tenement on Hillside avenue was almost destroyed by fire today with a loss running well into the thousands. Roofs of nearby houses caught fire during the height Of the blaze but no serious damage resulted in any instance.
 The fire was discovered on the third floor and gained considerable head way before the f1remen were able to get effective streams on it. Several times the hose burst owing to tn in tense cold and, as the water fell upon and into the burning building, it froze. leaving the ruins when the fire was finally subdued, cased in ice.
 No one was injured so far as known. The tenants were able to save good part Of their furniture with the assist ance of neighbors.
 Fire in Cheshire early this morning Scaused g loss of $10,000. covered by in- surance. A large barn and a cottage owned by Walter Scott were destroyed by a. fire of unknown origin that start ed in the barn. Two horses owned by Tracy Brothers Company were in the barn and these were burned to death Hugo Murphy and family of this city occupied the cottage and they saved few Of their belongings.

One North End girl got a scare on Monday night, a scare that she has not yet recovered from, as. for a time, she feared that she had spoiled her beau cessity of having plenty of fresh air in sleeping rooms, she had been fol- lowing out instructions Even the ad- vent of cold weather failed to swerve her from the procedure and the win dow was three-quarters up when she retired on the night in question. Tn the morning she awoke to find that there was no feeling in her nose and that 1t appeared to be frozen. Mem bers of the family also believed that it was at least badly frost bitten and entertained her with stories about how frost bitten parts turn black. After an hour or so of pain. augmented By water. circulation began to be restor- ed and she became bverjoyed The next night the window was only open ed for a brief space.
 The bitter cold has resulted in a marked increase in the difficulties of Bridgeport Christian Union officials, the demands far exceeding the made quate quarters and facilities for. sgiv- ing aid.
