Fire This Morning.
What might have turned out to be
disastrous fire in the business center
of the town this morning when a fire
was discovered In the Palace of
Sweets candy store on Central Sqtiare,
was quickly extinguished by the lo
cal firemen. As it was. a small dam
age resulted from water, when a
stream was directed through the ceil
ing of the Hotel Clarendon which is
above the store, into the Palace of
Sweets. The fire started from a short
circuit in the electric wires on the
ceiling of the store and crept through
the floor into a room of the hotel
above. The proprietor, seeing the
flames, ran across the street into the
Plainville Engineering company store
and asked one of the men to come
over to the store. Rene Brault, with
out knowing there was a fire, accom
panied him. and the proprietor, ar
riving st the store, pointed to theN
blaze. Brault quickly realized the
danger and sent in an alarm for the
fire department, meanwhile, running
back to the store and getting an axe
from the wall, ran over to the fire
and hacked a hole through the ceil
ing. This act possibly prevented the
fire from going further up the walls
and averted a serious fire. The, alarm
was sent In about 8 o'clock. The
Hotel Clerendon and Palace, of Sweets
Is owned by the Saharra brothers.
Fidelberg Case Heard.
H. N. Wright of No. 490 East
street. New Britain, was given a hear
ing In the Plainville town court at
7:30 o'clock last evening on charges
of assaulting Bernhardt Fidelberg,
gateman at the East Main street
crossing. Bernhardt claims that
Wright struck him a blow on the
cheek when he did not raise the gates
immediately after a train of freight
cars had passed. The assault oc
curred last Wednesday afternoon.
Justice Edward P. Prior heard the
case. Attorney Stanley S. Gwillim
prosecuted. Witnesses to the assault
were called. When Wright was called
to the stand to testify, he claimed
that he was an old friend of Fidel
berg and didn't realize that he -had
struck him so hard. Fidelberg re
plied. "If that's the way you treat
your friends. I wouldn't want to be
your enemy." He claims that he does
not know Wright. Dr. E. R. Whitte
more of New Haven, physician for
the N. T., N. II. & H. railroad sent
in a written certificate of the injur
ies received from the blow. An X-ray
was taken of the man's jaw bone.
Fidelberg says he has pains in closing
and opening his mouth. Lawyer David
Dunn appeared for Wright. The case
was discharged after the evidence was
heard.
