 Fire Causes Comment.
 The big fire last night at the Will Hams place in Southington attracted much attention here as tho flames could be easily seen from all parts Of the city, as they mounted skyward. 1 No call for the local department was received although the fircmon were in readiness 10 respond and could have doue good service with 1 the local pumping engines because Of 1 the lack of water service near the 1 burning place. The plainville and Southington companies have no pump ! ing apparatus so could not do work i that a bumper could have accom- i plished. Couplings could have been made as Chief John IT. Hayes has equipped tho department with adap- i ters to it any type of connection and 1 In addition has clutch couplings and screw connections that will ft any 1 hydrart or hose of any of the towns or cities of this vicinity.
