Presently she ran out into the hallway and as she looked down observed smoke coming from her office. She cried fire, ran back, and telephoned the fire department ct once.
 Acting Deputy Chief Champion responded with Engine Company No. 10 and Aerial Truck Company, No. 1, of Fire Headquarters, and En- zine No. ?, of East Main street. Captain Joseph J. Kelley was in charge of the aerial truck. Captain Russell represented the office of che fire marshal.
 The flremen laid several "big lines" owing to the possibilities, un- der orders of the acting deputy. But the chemical line alone was able to check the blaze, which had eaten into the partition, and was on It's way to the upper floors. The walls were ripped open for a short ways or until the end of the fire was reached.

 The building is owned by Mrs. Nellie Hanlon, a widow, who occu- pies the fourth floor, with her fam fly. The first floor is occupied by the Quality lunch room, with the Prifty brothers as owners; next door east is the Stanley Park grill. On the second floor rear live MT. and Mrs. Mckinley, with two children, Muriel, ?, and William, a baby 3 months old.
 Children Removed
 The third floor is occupied by MT. and Mrs. Andrew Heffernan, and their daughter, Catherine. With them for the time being is little Nancy ODay, a IA months old grandchild, asleep in Q crib at the time of the fire. Private Legge of the fire marshal's office bundled the little one into some blankets, and removed the sleeping child to the home of Mrs. Loretta Maher in the Shortt building.
 The building is insured, but Miss Hanlon carried no insurance on her office books or equipment.

CONTINUANCE ON
 MOTION GRANTED
Plea to Restore $lOO,OOO Alienation Suit Put Off
 One Week

Continuance of one week was granted by Judge Frank P. Me- Evoy in superior court on the mo- ton to restore to the docket the $100,000 alienation of affections suit of Mary Elizabeth Clayton against John R. and Annie Clayton of this city. The case went of the docket automatically on January 1 of this year, but Attorney John Greco and William Hennessy, representing the plaintiff, seek to have the action listed again and tride in superior court.
 Tn 1891, Mrs. Mary Elizabeth Clayton, wife of Walter Clayton, brought suit against her husbands parents, claiming that they had alienated his affections after she and he had lived happily together from 1915 to 1929. The suit was tried in superior court here after @ trans fer from New Haven. At the trial, Judge Frederick M. Peasley directed verdict for the defendants.
 An appeal was taken to the sue preme court of errors, and error was found and the case returned to su- perior court. Last year the case was discontinued but reopened month later. It was then placed on the docket with the provision that 1t go off if not disposed of by January l of this year.
 Walter Clayton, the husband whose affections were allegedly alienated, died during the litigation.
