SATURDAY MORNINGS FIRE.
A Narrow Escape from Death.


Shortly before two o'clock Saturday
morning fire broke out in the residence of
| John Kennedy, one and half miles from
the village, on the Mendon road, and in a
shart half hour the house was entirely con
sumed. The building was heavy frame
story and q half structure, 22 by 90 feet,
with an addition OF the same area, though
not quite so high. Loss, house $4,000,
furniture $500, and clothing $500 total
SO 700. Insurance from 81, 300 to 81 500,
on both house and barn, in John Gains
agency, in the Vermont Mutual company.
The alarm was sounded at the depot and
engine houses, but on discovering that
the fire was too distant to be reached, the
fire department did not go to the scene of
the fire.
Mr. Kennedy says that he retired about
nine o'clock and arose at midnight and put
a chunk of wood in the stove TO make the
fire keep. He and his wife and three
small children, the Oldest only about four
years of age, slept in the bed room opening
off the kitchen. When he awoke
the second time he heard noise which he
at first took for cattle around the house or
neighbor passing on the road. He rose
and opened the door leading to the kitchen,
when the flames burst in on him. He shut
the door and at once set about rescuing his
wife and children, by breaking the win
dow, cutting his head and hands in getting
them out. When he had deposited his
children in quilt by the side of the road
the flames were already breaking out of the
roof, and although neighbors came to his
assistance, they were only able to save the
beding from the bedroom. Every rag of
the family clothing was burned. Forum
ately, two little girls, the eldest children,
had gone to spend Christmas with neigh
Dor and staid all night or they would have
slept in another part of the house and in
all probability would haye been burned to
death.
The barn, although to windward of the
the house, was with difficulty saved by the
neighbors. One wagon was burned.
Much sympathy is felt for Mr.. Kennedy
by his neighbors. Mr.. Frederick Eastman
gave the homeless ones shelter.

Official Action on the Mexican Raids.

WASHINGTON, Dec. %.
From official correspondence it appears
that Minister Foster some time since asked
permission of the Mexican government for
regular troops of the United States to fol-
low raiders across the border when in close
pursuit, or permission to temporarily &C.
cupy certain points on the Mexican side
where the raiders are in the habit of cross
ing the river. The reply Of the Mexican
secretary of foreign affairs was that the
executive had no authority to grant such
permission without the consent of con-
gross and it would not be prudent to ask
such consent, as the sentiment of the coun-
try would not approve it. Foster stated
that he was authorized to give the assur-
ance that our government had no design of
acquiring an extension of territory, but
said the acknowledgment of the Mexican
government of its inability to restrain the
lawlessness of its own citizens would af-
ford the strongest possible argument to all
advocates OF the acquisition of territory
there may be in the United States. Mr..
Foster further stated that the citizens of
Texas must be afforded protection and il
not given by the Mexican government ii
would come from the United States.
