SUGAR, BUTTER, EGGS.
Supplies May Prove Short in Case Of Strike-Borough Has Fair Amount Of Other Foods.


 At five o'clock Wednesday afternoon freight shipments for foreign roads and for destinations beyond transfer points ceased being received at the local station of the New Haven road. Shipments for points on the division were being accepted as usual.
 The embargo on other than division point shipments was put on in view of the impending strike, which seemed Wednesday as to whether they will re-
 Food supply dealers were perturbed WedntSday as to whether they will re- ceiVe shipments of flour, butter, eggs, and cheese that are en route here, some from distant points.
 Interviews with dealers brought out the fact that if the strike comes, the shortage of foOdstuffs will first be felt in the butter, sugar and egg lines. There is a considerable quantity of flour in Danielson, but the supply of sugar and butter is limited; also the supply of lard, which is not carried in quantities in summer because Of lack of refrigerating facilities.
 In general grocery lines local deaI- CTS have the usual liberal supply, but no great amount of reserve stock. Un- less the strike is of cOnsiderable du- ration, if there be any strike at all, Danielson will not go hungry, though sugarless, tea and coffee and butter less bread may bring suggestions of wartime diets in Germany.

FAN FAscENATEs SWALLOWS.
Fifty three Birds Killed by RevoIv-
 ing Blades al WiliamsvilIe Mill.

Fifty three swallows were whirled to death among the rapidly revolving blades of a suction fan at the plant of the WilliamsviIIe Buff company, on School street. A flock of the birds to the number of several hundred seem ed, in some strange manner to be fas- cinatcd by the fan, which Is set in one of the walls of the building and is for drawing hot and fetid air from the plant.
 After circling with the rock, as many as a score of the swallows would make a dash for the fan opening and IS they strucCl against the speeding blades were almost Immediately kill ed. Attempts Of groups of the flock to enter the mill through the fan open ing was so persistently maintained that it was finally necessary to shut off the fan to save more of the birds from being killed. As soon as the fan stopped revolving the swallows lost their ambition to dive through be- tween it's Whirling parts.
 Of all the birds that made the des- perate dash against the fan only two went through between it's blades and entered the mill alive.
