 AT OLD LYME
Maynard House and Center Market Totally Destroyed-Loss $15,000.

The Maynard house. occupied as a hotel, and the Center market at Old Lyme, were destroyed by fire about 5 o'clock Saturday morning with a loss estimated at about s15,000. The timely arrival of the Pequot and Mag ara automobile fire apparatus from New London saved the Maynard house stables, the town hall and three dwell ing houses across the street. Mrs. D. O. Maynard, wife of the pro- prietor of the hotel, is in a serious condition from burns which she sus- tained in trying to eXtinguish the fire in its early stages. She was carried unconscious from the basement, clad only in her night gown and one stock ing. The hotel was burned to the ground, together with every article of it's contents. Boarders to the num- 'ber of 15 saved only their night cloth ing. The Center market building was totally burned, but the New London fire fighters succeeded in saving the household belongings of William M. Maynard, who lived in the tenement over the store. and the market equip ment.
 The fire was discovered by a lodger named Toohey, who is superintendent of the force of road builders engaged in the construction of the state road. The only source of water was the wells in the vicinity and from nine of these buckets were filled. The water made about as much impression on the flames as g. childs squirt gun.
 Although the origin of the fire is unknown it is believed the blaze start ed from the furnace room, where the fire was the fercest following it's dis cOyery,
