fremen, nipped the inclpient con- fagration in the bud so that only nominal damages took place.
 Disalvatorc Family Plight Worse
 That the plight of the Disalpatore family of Cherry street is worse than originally supposed, was dis covered by the police department on Saturday, when notification was re- ceived from the Hartford Hospital that the mother was dying as the result of injuries suffered in the fight which preceded the shooting of Antonio Tottore a month ago. The police found that scarlet fever had broken out in the home, which is now under strict quarantine. With illness in the house full of little children, mothered by a 17-year-old girl, the mother dying at the Hart ford Hospital and the father, await ing trial on a murder charge at the county jail, the family's cup of bit terness is overflowine, the police say.
 Water Docs Damage
 The flood of water last night caused much damage about the city by filling cellars of business houses and private dwellings. The fire de- partment had numerous calls this morning for the use of the bumpers in getting the business districts free Of the remains of the flood. For a tune last night, lower Main street had a depth of several inches of water and Meadow street was en- other Lake Compounce. Forestville Center was awash with about three inches of water so that the natives contemplated a motor boat season. Rafts were employed by the young CT generation on Meadow street in navigating from one sidewalk to an- other. A few telephone wires were blown down by the heavy wind which accompanied the rain and snow. The surface sewer system was kept working at capacity.
 Few Feel Quake
 The earthquake of Saturday passed almost unnoticed about the city as reports of trembling of terra tirma came only from residents of High and Union streets. Appar- ently the rest of the city did not ob- serve anything unusual although wireless amateurs were blamed for the static disturbances, which &C., companied the earth trembling.
