The property was mortgaged to Michael
Ilammet for $1,000, and the insurance was
effected for the benefit Of the mortgage.
OF course there are variety of rumors as
to the origin of the fire, and the fact Of the
disappearance Of the money is a very sus-
picious circumstance. Mr.. Cate is understood
to have been 10 hard-sledding financially, but
as yet no testimony has been discovered which
would connect him with the loss of the money
or firing the buildings. His bondsmen are
bis brothers, Lemuel NJ. and Alvin NJ. Cate,
who are responsible men-so the State will
suffer nothing from the loss.

ruE HOTEL AND STORE BURNED.

On Thursday morning last, about half past
four o'clock, fire was discovered under the
counter Of tho store owned by Mr.. p. NJ.
Cate, in East Montpelier, and adjoining
the hotel Mr.. Cate, who owns the hotel, but
had leased IL to MIR. Samuel Dudley, was sleep
ing with Mr.. Dudleys son Charles, In room
over the bar-room. lie was awakened by a
noise which he thought was the wind. Dis.
covering, however, that no wind was blowing
at the time, he and young Dudley proceeded
down stairs and found FIRE burning briskly
under the counter 10 the store, in a place
where the kerosene lantern and q can Of kero-
scne were usually kept. The fjor here was
somewhat saturated with oil, but the FIRE was
soon subducd
After this FIRE was lighted in The fire place,
and young Dudley started to 60 up stairs. lie
Immediately returned, however, saying that
he heard a cracking up stairs. Upon going
there they discovered the attic to be oil On ire,
so much so indeed that they were unable 10 get
to IT, The progress Of the flames from this
times was rapid, and only ceased when the
hotel, store shed and barn were entirely con
sumed, and there was nothing moro for the
flames to feed on.
Mr.. Cate was town constable and collector,
and he says that at the time Of the fire there
was about So 600 in money in the safe, where
be kept il for security. This money he had
collected on the State tax, which was to have
been soon paid over to the State Treasurer
Mr. Cate and Mr.. Dudley each had key to
the safe. On the first discovery Of the fire.
Mr. Dudley tried the door to the safe, but find
ing it locked, supposed it was all right. AZ
ter the fire was discovered in the attic, Mr.
Cate unlocked the safe and found the money
and papers in il had been distracted. The
lock yielded easily to the key, and the door
opened readily. Mr. Gates theory is that the
safe had been opened and robbed, and that the
FIRE was set by the burglars, either by accident
or design.
Mr.. Cate owned the property, but about one
year ago leased the hotel and furniture to Mr.
Dudley. The produce in the barn also be-
onged to Mr.. Dudley. The goods in the store
belonged to Mr.. Cate, and were partially saved.
The property burned was insured in the Yer
mont Mutual for $4,000, as follows
