as harness shop. The alarm sounded,
ana the engines were promptly on the
ground. The fireman worked with will,
but with poor success, for the building was
totally destroyed. The first floor was oc-
cupled by w. p. Cady, ready made cloth

and hardware; the second story by Burn
ham & Temple, insurance agents, Ii. w.
Kingsley, tailor, and NJ c. Hayes, harness
shop; the thir,l and fourth stories, by the
Ripley Opera Hall, one of the best, if not
the best public hall in the State The
north wall Of the Opera building fell at
. IL A. NJ, on to the roof Of a three story
brick building adjoining, occupied by
Dunn & Champion and S. c. Staley & Co.,
dealers in stoves and hardware, crushing
through to the ground. Several men were
in Dunn Il Cramton's store taking out
goods when the wall fell, and it was
that one or two of the men were
caught and buried under the ruins, but no
one proves to be missing. This building
was also considerably injured by fire. The

as well us private loss. The Opera House
was built by Mr.. Ripley, in 1868. Its loss
leaves Rutland without any good public

the total loss at only about $4,000;
