RrMoRs There are plenty of rumors in re-
ference to the reported leasing of the Portland
& Ogdensburgh railroad by the Central Yer
mont. The latest, and apparently the most
authentic statement is to the effect that the
Portland & Ogdensburgh has been relieved Of
its financial embarrassment by the loan Of
500 900 by a certain distinguished and disin-
terested citizen of 81. Adams, who would on
no account have his name mentioned in con-
nection with the next Goyernorship Of the
State. Certainly not.

Destructive Fire at COnastOIa.
SIX Acres of Territory Destroyed
The Business Portion OF the Town
i'm Ruins.

SYRACUSE, n. Y, Oct pa fire in Conas-
tola last night which was quelled this morning
after burning over six acres of territory, de-
stroyed three hotels. thirty-two dwellings, and
between forty and fifty places of business and
offices. The fire was undoubtedly incendiary.
The business portion of the town was all de-
stroyed. except Beecher Block The citizens
of Conastola held meeting tonight. and pass
ed resolutions inviting pecuniary aid of the
charitable everywhere, and appointing d. FL.
RoSbach cashier of the Canostola Bank to re-
ceive contributions.
The fire at Conastola was first discovered
shortly after midnight in barn in the rear of
Beecher Block, and adjoining the Eagle Ho-
tel. 1t quickly communicated to the hotel and
Spencer's mandatory of optical instruments
adjoining the post Office A strong sonthery
wind prevailed, driving the ire northward. The
width Of the track of fire was about half
block. The flames swept everything up to the
canal. They then leaped over the canal and
travelling one block on the other side, made
the destruction complete. The.stores destroyed
were mostly wooden, with an occasional brick
building interspersed.
An engine was sent from ONEIDA and the
Canastola engine played on the fire, but the
violence of the gale in spite of drenching
rain neutralized all efforts. Finally there being
nothing more to burn in that direction the fire
was subdued. Hours before the discovery of
this fire a barn belonging to the Central Rail
road was burned together with 100 tons of hay
and several cars. This was ALSO an incendiary.
The total loss foots up $780, and the nsur-
ance is about 800, 900.
The only hotel left is temporary structure
erected on the site of the April fire. All the
fires have been the work of inceneiaries. The
inhabitants contemplate the appointment of a
vigilance committee to preserve what is left
of the village,
