WILLIMANTIC HAS
 $72,OOO FIRE.

(Contiuued from page One) garage to become a furnace of flames, (and at that time it seemed as if the stables in the rear, the Hooker house, the Johnson house, and most of the block. if not larger part of the city, would go.
 Johnson House Badly Damaged.
 The Johnson house, a three story wooden structure. located in front of thA Natchaug garage. and connected with it by a wooden paSSageWay on the second floor, did catch, the re working from the top downward. and only heroic efforts on the part of the dremen kept it from being G. total loss. The uppeD floor was entirely gz1tted and the building heavily dam aged, but 1t is probable that it can be repaired without the necessity of en- tireiy rebuilding.
 The tenants in the building owned by Nelson Gilman, just west of the Johnson house, removed practically all Of their furniture, with the help of many willing hands, and many of the vicinity, packed up and were ready to move if necessity demanded.
 Barn Destroyed.
 The barn in the rear of the Gilman property was soon in flames and was burned up with a loss of two thousand dollars. This was the final area of the fire, although at one time most of the neighboring buildings were in danger. None but words of praise were heard for the splendid efforts of the fire de- partment, and the work hey did in saving the adjoining property was marvellous.

Heard General Sherman say II.

Recently someone who seemed to
know issued denial of the prevalent
impression that Gen. w. T. Sherman
said war is hell" j. p. Francis of
Nickerson declares he heard General
Sherman say it. He writes: II never
understood that General Sherman used
the term war is hell in any of his or.
ders or official correspondence, but did
use the term in public address at a
soldiers reunion at Columbus, O.. in
1880. The writer was seated near the
speakers stand and recollects the oc-
casion which called the famous ex-
preston from the general. General
Sherman, in his address, referred to a
particular military feat which called
ION part Of the troops selected to per-
form the task assigned them for
heroic courage to accomplish the task
successfully. And when he closed the
narration the militia boys gave a
hearty cheer. When the applause SUBJ
sided the general looked down at the
militia and said, Boys, you may think
war is great sport, but say, war is
hell"

REPLACE OLD STEPS
Those of Capitol at Washington
Reconstructed.
Have Been in Service More Than
Eighty Years, and Effects of Time
Were Very Plainly Visible to
Capitol Visitors.

Weathered and worn by more than
eighty years of service, the wide stone
steps leading to the east entrance of
the capitol at Washington are to be
replaced. The wear on the steps.
caused by hundreds of thousands OF
persons climbing them, has been SO
great that they have become not only
unsightly, but also dangerous in their
present Clipped and battered condi-
ton. 1t is at the bottom of this flight
Of steps that the president takes the
oath of office every four years. When
they were set in place in 1880, the
senate and house wings had not yet
been erected, and the old wooden dome
was still a part of the structure For
beginning the present improvement
congress appropriated $4,000, but it
is expected that at least $4,000 addi-
le1onal will be necessary to complete it.
1T Is interesting to note that when
the District of Columbia was origin.
ally laid out, it was the belief that
the ultimate growth would be to the
southeast. 1t was because of this that
