ORDER OF Wo5KMEN.

The announcement OF the death of
former grand recorder Stroh last
Tuesday at his home in Utica. n, Y,
comes as sad news to a large host of
friends i'll this city and throughout the
order in this state. Grand Recorder
Sroh joined the A. O. u. W. in 1894
as member of Nutmeg Lodge NO. 80,
OF East Hartford, and although he
moved to New Haven a short time
later he always retained his member
ship in this lodge. From the time of
his becoming a member of the order
until his death he showed great inter
est in lodge activities and worked
hard for lodge and order. In 1906 he
vas made grand recorder. In this Of
flee, which he held until forced to re-
sign last year because of poor health,
he made a record of service which
stands out as an example Of high de-
Votion and great capability which
went to bring the Grand Lodge of
Connecticut forward among the grand
lodges of the order and gave the A. o.
U. w. in Connecticut q high rank
among the fraternal insurance organi-
zations Of this section.
Grand RecordGs SS-oh had been in
poor health for over 2 year preced-
ing his death and was forged to re-
sign from active service to go to his
farm in Utica. n. z, last wear. Here
his decline was gradual and he never
rcgained his former vigor. His leatL
is particularly sad because of the
death of his only daughter and her
husband who succumbed to influenza
during the height Of the epidemic. His
many friends in the order extend the'r
sincere sympathy to the widow In her
| great bereavement.

The Apollo fire which destroyed two
OF the business blocks in the center
of the city took place in Norwich
just a half century ago and the dam
age done was estimated at S150,000.
Following the fire there was much
criticism of the fire department and
an investigation OF the department
was demanded by several of the
prominent citizens.
Extracts from The Bulletins files of
SO follow:
Feb. is, 1S69-One of the most dis
astrous fires that have ever occurred

Reynolds block and the Apollo build

noticed that the c1-onl was gradually
filling with smoke and ON opening the
door were nearly suffocated by the
clouds that filled the halls. They i'm
nediately went about the house arous-
ing tho boarders while an alap71l was
given by some parties outside but in
such a manner that those that heard
it supposed it to be a drunken row
on the SQUARE and paid little heed to
il. Finally the alarm was given and
the bell on the Central Baptist church
was rung and finally q general alarm
was sent in.
The fire originated in the clothing
store of E. S. Willis which. occupied
the first floor of the building. The
Hook and Ladder Companies arrived
! first on the scene but being such light
machines they were unable to do
more than to retard the progress of
| the blaze. The cry went UP for the
steamers but they could not be found.
| The Wauregan No. / was waiting for
| horses, Neptune No. was stuck in
| the mud on Central Wharf and the
| William w. Williams No. did not
| get the alarm s4s soon as the rest and
were delayed by the heavy streets.
| About two O'Clock the Wauregan
| steamer put in an appearance at a
| gallop but just Is the reservoir was
reached the whifIletree broke, causing
another delay.
| The fire rapidly spread to the roof
and the building was doomed and the
| breaks in the water pipes delayed the
! firemen again but soon there We're

| Reynolds block was a total wreck by
| three O'Clock and then the fire broke
out in the Apollo building which WIS
soon destroyed and attention was d.

| which adioined the Apollo and the
! Reynolds blocks. During the fire
many accidents occurred hut luckily
no one was seriously injured although
several we're hit BY falling bricks and
suffered damned legs and hands.

building is estimated at about $780,
