STATELY CHURCH
 IN WATERBURY IS
 DAMAGED BY FIRE

Waterbury, Conn. April 8-The fire in the Church of Our Lady of Lourdes early today did damage plac- ed at $25.00O. It is not the actual monetary loss which isaddens the members of the parish The church has more than local fame for it's beau ty and for it's decorations which rep resent the shrine of Our Lady of .Lourdes in France and to which de- vout worshippers who come here of ten make visit.
 The church edt1ce is one of the best examples of Italian architecture in New England. Its arched roof was in excellent proportions. The mural paintings on the walls were done by Prof. Ruggiero, a noted Ita1- ian church painter. Those on the side walls were of Biblical subjects. It is feared that water pouring through a hole in the roof has ex- tensiveIy nlarred the beauty of these paintings. 9A
 The fire started about 1:30 this morning in the church basement and worked it's way to the belfry Then it crept into a, blind attic formed be- tween the ceiling and the arches of the roof. The firenen worked on the belfry and tn ought they had the fire out Then it showed in the roof over the high altar, burning a hole about 30 feet square. The cEarred wood fell upon the altar but fire did not touch it, although water did.
 The altar cost $10,00O and much Of its decorative parts were of brass over1aid with gold While the fire was being fought, Rev. Father Felix Scog1io, of the church, got into the church through side door and se- cured three golden cha1ices from the sanctuary together with other vessels and articles.
 The origin of the fire is unknown. No suspicion is held that it was set and the probable cause is believed to be accidental

Stock exchange activity was upon a diminished scale and confined chief ly to a few specialties, In spite of decidedly improved railroad icondl- tions, there has been no marked re- covery in these issues, largely because of the continued influx of foreign holdings nquidated on account Of the war. A gEeat many gilt-edged bonds have been returned. but these have been even more readily absorbed than the shares of representative railroads. This probably explains the compara- tive absence of new railroad issues, investors forsthe attIne sb baing3 prefer ring to piciEs r5tps 1seassened securities at favorable prices to taking new is- sues There are large sums of can ital awaiting investment, but current uncertainties impede good buying at this time.
