TENANTS FLEE FIRE
 IN NIGHT CLOTHES
$500 Blaze In Old Brennan House on Beaver Street This Morning
 Origin Mysterious.

New Britain's epidemic of fires con- tinued today and at 1:55 o'clock this morning the fire department was call ed out by an alarm from box 37. The fire was in an empty tenement in the three family house at No. 95 Beaver street, known as the old Brennan place. The occupants of the house, a. reused by smoke and fire, were com pelled to flee to the street in their night clothes.
 The origin of the fire is somewhat of a mystery as it started in a rear room of a tenement that is not occu- pied. The fire had considerable of a start and burned out the room, doing at least $500 damage before the fire men could control it.
 The bent axle on the aerial truck has been repaired and the apparatus Is again in commission.

 FIREMEN TAKEN ILL
As Result of Inhaling Nitric Acid Fumes in Factory of Sheffield
 Standard Plate Company,

New York, April 23.-Nitric acid fumes, inhaled yesterday by a squad of firemen and at first unnoticed, op- erated like slow poison during the night with the. result that today sev- teen firemen were in hospitals or con- fined to their beds in fire houses, some of them critically ill One of the seventeen lost his mental equil- ibrium during the night, jumped from his bed, and ran in his night cloth ing through the street.
 This occurred five hours after the firemen had inhaled the fumes and was the first indication of illness. One by one the men became stricken thereafted in quick succession.
 The fumes were inhaled when the firemen answered a call sent in from the factory of the Sheffield Stand ard Plate company in Canal street. There was no fire, but a thirty-gal lon carboy of acid had overf1owed and formed a heavy vapor. Seeing this and mistaking it for smoke, a police man turned in an alarm.
 When the nature of the Vapor Was learned, the firemen were ordered away and the rescue squad, protected by oxygen helemts, was summoned. They bailed out the acid with buckets and were unaffected by the fumes.
