BOYS ARRESTED AS FIREBUGS
Admit Setting Fire to Paint
Fire Department had Two Large Fires in Succession
Sunday Afternoon Burning of Railroad Euilding
Followed by Storage Shed of, Max Gordon & Son
Corporation.
Practically all of. the afternoon Sun
day was put in by' the fire department
in fighting fires and cleaning up there
after, while some of the men remained
part of the night at the second fire.
The first call was to the paint shop of
the New Haven road, a two Btory
wooden buildine south of the round.
house, which was practically gutted,
while directly thereafter the old Pe
quot foundry building, in Central
wnarr, now used by the Max Gordon
& Son corporation, was found to be
afire and demanded attention for a
couple- of hours. The loss at the first
will probably reach $2,000 or more,
while at the latter it will be between
$12,000 and J15.000. It was the first
Dell alarm the -department has had
since January. Several firemen were
injured, Alerton Latimer of Chemical
Co. No. 1 getting the worst injury,
when a piece of slate from the roof of
the foundry building fell inside the
structure and struck him in the tide of
the head, cutting a gash several inches
long. Ha was taken to Mahoney Bros.'
stable and later to Dr. Kimball's office,
where the wound was sewed up.
it was 1.20 o'clock wihen an alarm
was turned in from box 23, corner of
Main and Ferry streets, Sunday after
noon. The paint shop of the railroad
had been found in flames, and the fire
was going through the roof when the
companies arrived. It was a hot fire.
as the building was dry and there was
some paint ana quite a little oil to feed
it. Thprft wprp cpvprn 1 ctrrvfi.ll cvl r,

nces ror several of the heads of de
partments, including the yardmaster
and watchman, while there was also
an oil room, where lanterns were filled
and supplies kept. The interior of the
building, especially the southeast side
and end, was well gutted, taking out
i the r"f in the center, but leaving the
enas stanaing.
How the fire started was a mystery
at first. Yardmaster Geer stated that
the boiler used for heating the build
ing was out of commission, and that
while he had had an oil heater In there,
it was not lighted on Sunday, as It
was being heated, from a locomotive.
Two small boys were seen running
away from that vicinity by a. police
man, and suspicion was directed to
two youngsters who, although of ten
der age, have a hard reputation with
the police. Joseph Dombrofski was ar
rested by Policeman Maloney and
turned over to Policeman Henderson,
while later in the afternoon Bennie
Petrofski was found at his home In
Thames street. They were taken be
fore Chief Murphy and admitted the
entire affair. The building was open
so that anyone could go in, and it is
understood that they started the fire in
a quantity of waste which was there
near the oil room. Both 'boys are 7
years of age, and only a few nights
ago were taken in by the police at
12.30 at night.when they were stopping
people on the street and asking for
matches. They are also the boys who
have been holding people up on the
street and asking for money to go to
shows. The police pay they are two
bad boys who have done many things.
Engine Co. No. 1 did service from
Franklin square, and a spark from it
set fire to the roof of the Blinderman
building, which was put out quickly
with chemical. One or two of the fire
men got well soaked making hydrant
hitches.
A string of empty freight cars was
standing on the side track next to the
burning founding. When the flames
began to burst through the side of the
building the railroad men at once
coupled on the switching engine to get
the cars into a place of safety. One 1
EXTENSIVE IMPROVEMENTS
AT BREED THEATER.
Stage Being Shifted to West End of
House and Will Be Handsome
Change When Completed.
On Saturday evening the Breed the
ater closed its doors to permit the ex
tensive alterations to be made which
have -been in the works for some lit
tle time. The theater will foe equipped
with a distinctly colonial proscenium
at the west end of the building, quite
in keeping with the general character
of the house, and showing handsome
fluted pilasters, which extend in on the
stage, giving it a massive appearance.
The stage will hold a very modern up
to date footlight trough, carrying three
circuits of different colored 3fi-candle-power
lights, which will permit of any
combination of light effects being
made. The scenery for the stage is
being made in New York and will
probably not be ready for the open
ing day, March 17, tout very soon aft
erwards. The new stage will he 30 feet wide
at the proscenium and 20 feet high,
while it will be 2S feet deep- and will
be located at the Washington square
end of the building, in tho old origi
nal location. Abundant exits have
been provided for, and the new abso
lutely fireproof booth will be installed
at the end where the picture screen
was. and will be made of heavy as
bestos boarding huilt on all-steel
frames.
There will be an orchestra rail, and
a magnificent Steinway concert grand
piano will he another of the splendid
impro-ements. Manager McNulty has
provided the very latest and best in
the new picture machines, and Thurs
day promises to find the old theater
much rejuvenated and with greatly in
creased seating capacity.
BROUGHT FROM PROVIDENCE.
Girl Brought Back and Case Continued
Until Next Saturday.
Laura B. Hubbard, a 19 year old girl,
whose home is in Norwich, Conn., was
taken into custody in the Bristol hotel
by Inspector Monahan of police head
quarters this morning, says the Provi
dence Bulletin of Friday. After an in
terview with Deputy Chief Inspector
Albert E. Nickerson she was locked up
and will be held here until an officer
of the Norwich police comes here for
her.
The young woman has quite a repu
tation as a runaway, according to a
letter received1 toy Chief Inspector Hor
ton from Chief John Murphy of the
Norwich police. This is her fifth ex
perience and they have a warrant out
for her charging her with being incor
rigible. When questioned at headquar
ters she smiled and joked with those in
charge, and did not seem to care much
wh;it became of her.
She -was brought back by Sergeant
Twomey and her case continued until
Saturday next.

threw him off his feet and 118 leg went
beneath a car wheel. He gave a shout
for help and the bystanders had just
pulled him out of his precarious posi
tion when the cars began to roll out.
Max Gordon's Building.
At 3.05 o'clock, the companies having
been back in the stations but a snort
time, an alarm was sent in from box
14 for another well'started fire in the.
storage building of the Max Gordon &
Son corporation, which was formerly
the Pequot foundry building, for years
used by the Rogers Machine shop as
a foundry, but which has not been
used as such for many years. For the
past three years the present owners
have occupied it as a storage building
ror baled rags. George Aianoney, ai
the Mahonev Brothers' stable, was at
tracted by the cries of fire and seeing
the smoke come out of the building
telephoned the fire department and im
mediately after an alarm -was sent in.
Flames were coming out of the peak
of the two story and a half huilding at
that time and soon there were twelve
streams of water on the building and
contents. Not only the department but
thousands of people were attracted by
the blaze and every vantage point was
filled, Falls avenue and the space in
front of the Central Vermont station
being entirely occupied.
Piled high in this building, which
has one story brick wings and north
wall, were bales of selected woolen
rags, weighing about 400 pounds each
and some of which were worth J100
apiece. The fire had evidently started
in the northeast end of the building
where some cotton rags were stored,
but what started the fire is not known.
The building was used simply for stor
age and no one worked there except in
putting In or taking out bales, air,
Gordon stated, however, that it was
possible to get Into the building and
tramps may have heen in there. .m
ployes of the corporation were at work
in a car on the spur track near the
station but had- not noticed any fire
until they heard the cries from thoo
near the barn. The cause is therefore
unknown.
The boys are not suspected in con
nection with this fire, as one of them
was under arrest when this fire broke
out.
To get at the fire through the smoke
and -blaze it became necessary also to
pull over many of the bales of rag
which required several men. The bales
had to be torn open and they were of
course soaked with water.
In connection with the previous fire
it was supposed that the recall had
been sounded, tout it had failed to
sound, so that when the second alarm
came in Chemical company No. 3, En
gine company fso. 2 and Truck com
pany No. 2 responded in addition to
the other companies. While they were
not expected, . they were put to work,
the engines drafting from the river.
Mr. Gordon figured his loss at from
$12,000 to $15,000 and stated that his
insurance was from $S,000 to $9,000. The
rags, he stated, were toadly damaged
by the water and smoke, so much so
that it would hardly pay to dry them
out. As they were before the Are they
were for use in woolen mills, as first
class rags for the best of ihoddr, but
now they can be used only for the
poorest shoddy.
It was not until about 5 o'clock that
the companies picked up and left, a
few men remaining to soak down the
bales wherein there continued to show
signs of fire.

REV. RAYMOND MAPLESDEN
AT FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH
Preached Two Fine Sermons in Ex-
chant t with Rev. W. T. Thayer.
Rev. Raymond Maplesden of Suffield
was at the First Baptist church Sun
day, preaching strong sermons at both
morning and evening services.
The pastor. Rev. William T. Thayer,
preached at the Montauk Avenue Bap
tist church in New London, in ex
change with Rev. Mr. Maplesden, who
is at present acting pastor of that
church. At the morning service Rev
Mr. Maplesden spoke upon The Bless
ing of a Christian Heredity, taking his
text from 11. Timothy l:o. lie said:
Our text furnishes a beautiful pic
ture of early Christian family life. We
are permitted to look through this
Bible window upon a Christian family
the grandmother Lois, the mother
Eunice, and the son Timothy gathered
around an open Bible, and each exc-it
in it the same beautiful characteristic,
an unfeigned faith. - Reliijjon is not a
matter of heredity, yet there are some
things that can be handed down from
certain parents to their children. Tho
Bible does not teach that grace can
be transmitted through blood 'but it
does show that there' is a distinct con
nection between character and ances
try. The very order of names sug
gests this Abraham, Isaac and Jacob,
The Bible and modern science alike
teach that blessing follows obedience,
and disobedience, punishment "unto the
third and fourth generation." Jacobs
deceit reappears in his sons, David's
sensualism is magnified in his son Sol
onion. There is a distinct connection
between the piety of Hannah and El
kanah and Iks beauty of Israel's great
prophet Samuel. Our text declares
that Timothy was the child of two
generations of godliness.
After illustrating the same truth
from the lives and ancestry of Augus
tine, Wesley, Spurgeon. Gordon, Emer
son and Cardinal Newman, the preach
er pressed home with great force the
question: How many of you are under
eternal obligation for the influences
that came into your lives through a
godly ancestry?
Mr. Maplesden then pointed out some
things that can be handed down to our
children:
X. We can hand down to our chil
dren a heritage of prayer. God keeps
a ledger of the prayers of the saints:
a heritage of prayer from believing
parents is better than stocks and
bonds. '
2. We can hand down a Christian
training which will not fail of Its our
pose. That -will include education in tho
knowledge of God as well as in the
knowledge of His works, - The need
for Christian education was never
greater than today.
3. We can leave to our children the
beautiful memory of a Christian ex
ample. A Christian character written
deep into the lives of our children is
the best gift we can give to the world.
In the evening Mr. Maplesden spoke
upon The Passive and Active Side of
Christian Consecration, his text be
ing I. Thessalonlans v:23.
