GREAT FIRE IN BRATTLEBoEo-It is
with pain we present to our readers the
following from the Brattleboro Ph9nir
of Sept 5th
The most destructive fire that has ev-
err occurred 10 Brattleboro, or in th.
section Of country, took place this Fri.
day. morning. About half past one
o'clock. A. NJ. DR. E. G. Cross, who was
sitting up with sick child, discovered q
fire 10 the Cabinet mandatory of
Messrs. Gates, Bliss & Co. AS soon as
possible he gave the alarm, but il was
fifteen minutes or more before the citi
zens generally were aroused. The MAJ.
zeppa Engine and the boys machine
were prnmptly on the ground. But
these were not enough to stay the flames
in building so large and filled with
combustble matter as the Cabinet shop
Unfortunately, the Hydropatb Company
with its tub was absent at Worcester.
The flames we're soon communicated to
Joseph Clark's drug and hardware store
on the north and Estey Il Green's large
Nj elodeon mandatory and warehouse
on the south and the fire was not STAYED
until both of these buildings as we'll as
that in which the fire originated, VIII.
lard Frost's shoe store, a large dwelling
house owned by Nathan Woodcock,
Wooacock & Viuton's Paper mill Crane
& Vinton's Machine shop, Charles L.
Mead's Rule factory, formerly E. A.
Stearns & Co y a dwelling house occu.
pied BY four families and owned by Lu.
Their Weld. DR. F.. G. Cross's dwelling
house, John Pellets dwelling house. Fred
c. Edwards dwelling house, Emory
Farnsworth's dwelling house, occupied
by three families. and an unoccupied
store owned by Samuel Root, were all
completely burned to the ground The
fire ragged with great fury for four hours
The oombustible nature of the buildings
and their contiguity rendered it utterly
impossible to check the fire, breaking
out as it did nearly in the centre Of the
burnt district While the Mazsppa en-.
CINE was combating the flames on one
side. the engine from West Bratileboro
arrived and rendered good service in sa-
wing several dwellings on the south Of
those burned, which barely escaped after
a most thorough scorohing,
Tue destruction of property was IN
preoelcntef in the annals of conaagra.
tions in this region. More than half Of
the mechanical business Of Braitlebnro
is thus, as it were, in a moment swept
out of existence.
Here follows detailed statement of
losses sustained by companies aud indi.
viduals, together with the amounts GOV.
eren by insurance, for which We have not
space.
From the above data 10 will be seen
