DESTRUCTIVE FIRE IN BURLINGTON
AT about quarter before one o'clock
last night, fire broke out in cellar of
the South Store in the row of brick
stores, on Church street. known as
" Sletson's Block" and before it could
be subdued the entire row of four stores,
together with the Cbittenden County
House, occupied by l.. M. Dixon, the
County Jail and the wooden buildings
in the rear Of Stetson's Block, were en-
tirely consumed. Stetson's Block was
owned by Mr.. John Morse and the
Stetson estate. Whether Mr.. Morse
was insured or not, we have not learned
but understand that there is an insu.
rance in the VI. Mutual, upon the in
lerest of the Stetson estate, and the
goods of Mr.. Alexander, to the amour,
of So 300 covering but small amount
Of the loss.
The County Buildings, Jail and
House, occupied by Mr.. Dixon, were
insured by the HI,na Insurance Co. for
S3,000-loss about $1,000.
But two of the four stories which
constitute Stetson's Block were occupi.
ed,--onc by Mr.. Alexander, as cloth.
ing establishment, who lost everything
even to the clothes he took off on going
to bed-and the other by Mr.. Clifford,
as marble shop, most Of whose goods
were removed.
The cinders, in large fakes, were car.
ried TO great distance by the wind
but the ice-bound condition Of the roof
prevented the spread of the conAagra-
ton.
Stetson's Block, and the buildings in
rear Of it, were occupied by hceive Jam.
