The FIRE AT CHESTER DEPoT.-The
fire at Chester depot, mentioned last week
destroyed the store OF L. Bemis and the
depot. 1t started in a shed adjoining the
store, and the general opinion is that it
was an incendiary fire. In the Bemis
block was Odd Fellows Hall, who lost
nearly everything. Their Hall had late
ly been fitted up at considerable expense.
The freight house and Robbins and
Marsh's store were seriously threatened
but we're saved. Mr.. Spencer the sta
ton agent occupied the upper portion of
the depot, as a residence, but saved most
of his goods Mr.. j. r. Richardson &C.
euped a part of Bemis block as drug
store. He was burnt out but few
months since on the other side of the de-
pot. The insurance was in the Stock
Companies, as follows: j. r. Richard
son, $4,000, on goods. L. Bemis on his
building and stock s5000 The depot
was insured but we are not informed how
much.
