Thoy Oat Mttle ltoo(y Hcforo They Were Driven Awny by a Colored Man, With a Revolver, lint Few Clothes Strong's, Hold's and South-Worth's the I'lnces. (Special to the Courant.) Sufneld, Feb, 6. burglars broke into three business places here at an early hour this morningStrong's drug store, H. Reid's bazar and Southworth'a market. At Strong's store a ladder was raised to the window at the rear.

They then broke out a light of glass, drew the window bolt and passed through the office and unlocked a door between the office and the store went Into the store. With the exception of some cigars, Mr. Strong thinks nothing was taken. The drawer to the telephone instrument was not disturbed nor was anything else. The next place visited was tho mar- ket.

There they broke through a rear winnow, on the cemetery side. A cash register on top of the safe was taken back to the vault In the cemetery, perhaps ten rods, where it was found broken open and rifled, but Mr. South-worth says there was not over 50 cents in the drawer. The safe in the market on which this register was, was unlocked and a bag of specie, some $20 or more, lay 1n plain sight but the safe and contents were unmolested. From here they went to Reid's store, where they placed a ladder to a window on the street side of the building and entered the store.

Jerry Hayes, a colored man who rooms over the store, was awakened about 4:45 this morning by hearing some one in the store below, but thinking it was Mr. Reid he did not pay much attention. He finally got up and looked out, when he saw a man walking up and down the walk. Pointing a revolver at him, he told him to clear out. The stranger gave the signal to his pal, who was In the store, who at once climbed out of the window and both men started on a run up Main street.

Hayes was in his night clothes and after scaring the men away did nothing more. He describes the men as about 5 feet 4 inches tall, both dressed in dark clothes and dark overcoats with derby hats. At Reid's store nothing was mlssfd except a few pennies from the money drawer. No clue has been found. It was evidently all the work of the same persons, and amateurs at that.

A FIRE. Pnctory of the Hrtdgeport Silver Plating Coitvpauy Destroyed. Bridgeport, Feb. 6. Fire at midnight last night destroyed the large wooden factory of the Bridgeport Silver Plating Company at the corner of Mountain Grove street and Railroad street.

The concern makes silver trimmings and employs about 150 hands. The flames were first by Watchman Hart over the boiler room. Two alarms were quickly sounded but It was too late to save the buildlng.which was soon a mass of fiarries. The electric light wires melted and the electric lights were extinguished, thus hindering the firemen. No one was injured.

It is supposed that fire started in the boiler room although there is also a suspicion of incendiary origin. The loss is about $50,000. The building and stock, which were' both entirely consumed, were fully covered by BARN AND STOCK BURNED. Heavy Loss 6f Dennis Ryan "of Tarin-lngtori. (Special to the Courant.) Farmington, Feb.

6, The barn of Dennis Ryan, about one and one-half miles east of the center, was burned early this morning, together with a wagon shed, three cows, one horse, two sleighs and a wagon, besides harness, five tons of hay and all his farming tools. The fire Is sunnosed to have started about 4 a. as at 5:30, when seen by the family, the building had been just burned. It is thought that tramps spent the night in the barn and upon starting out In the morning dropped a match. Mr.

Ryan's house is situated about one hundred feet from the barn, and the hennery Is not more than fifty feet from it, but both escaped damage. The property was not fully insured. DWELLING AND BARNS. Dog Warned Charles H. Carlisle of His Danger.

(Special to the Courant.) Wapplng, Feb. 6. The dwelling house and barns on Charles H. Carlisle's farm on Avery street, Wapplng, were burned Friday night about 11 o'clock. Mr.

Carlisle was alone in the house at the time of the fire, the other members of his family having gone to Rockville. Early in the evening he lay on a sofa in the kitchen and fell asleep. Some time later he was awakened by his dog's jumping upon him and barking. As soon as he opened his eyes he saw the bright light through the vpindevs. He hurried out and at ence saw that the upper portion of the dwelling wasln flames.

There were no means in the locality for fighting fire. The fire spread from the dwelling house to the barns and tobacco sheds and these too were burned to the ground. The stock was saved. The origin of the fire is not known. There is said to be a small insurance upon the buildings.

UPSON, Newly Elected Chief Engineer. the petition of the Southlngton PlantsvUle Tramway Company's petition to-morrow night will see the end. The factory men are angry and declare that the merchants have combined with the tramway company to "kill" the new road and that they will boycott them if it succeeds. This is In fact a gross misunderstanding, for E. G.

Lewis, one of the most prominent dealers in town, expresses himself as willing to contribute $50 per year to keep a tramway to Plainville running, though he thinks It would not be necessary. Other merchants declare that they can sell a man a bill of goods much quicker a-nd with greater satisfaction who goes to the cities surrounding than they can one who goes only a half dozen times, for the man who goes the oftenest knows that he is not getting cheated 'and comes home to buy his goods. Not so the other man. He thinks the merchant robs him and spends his time in cursing the merchant. BRISTOL.
