Fire was discovered in the meat shop of Creation,
Bucknam & Co., corner Main street and Broadway,
in this village, last Wednesday noon. Ope OF the
firm had been cutting wood for the stove during
the forenoon, and as some of it was rather wet 1t
wis stacked around the stove to dry. While all
hands were at dinner, persons from the street no.
ticed smoke inside, and at once burst in THE door
The wood nearest the stove had just begun to
blaze, and being near the wainscott of the room it
could not have been long before the whole build

the fourth time fire has been OPPORTUNITY discov-
cred in this village within about six months. Peo-

The outbreak of small pox in our neighboring
towns of Weld and Carthage attracts the attention
of Pennington people. 1t is steadily on the IN
crease, and spreading in every direction: When
we remember that the disease was at first pro-
nounced by a council of physicians to be "pup9ra
hemorrhogica" and not Contagious and that i've
or six members out of one family died and were
buried with it before 1t was found to be small pox
we wonder it has not become more general. Now
that il is known what disease is near us, it only re-

every means in their power to prevent its further

from Secretary Bristow directing that the fuel,
light and water be cut off from the public build
ings, owing to the appropriation being exhausted.
In the post-oficc the engineers and other employ
es in charge of the building have been discharged
an the buildings will probably be in total dark

made. The custom house, U S. court house and
Marine Hospital are in the same predicament
Fatal Accident.
About p. m. DR.. Alfred l.. Haskins, superin-
tendent of the Boston Dispensary, called at the
Huntington House on Cortes street, to visit pa
tent. BY some means he fell over the banisters
on the landing of the fifth floor to the basement
floor 20 feet below, and died two hours after. He
was unconscious when taken up, and as no one
saw him fall, the cause of the accident is un-
known. His umbrella was found on the landing
of the fifth floor, indicating that he had assembled
that far.

Fire in Arrow sic.

Fire in Arrow sic.
Blu. few months have passed since dwelling
house owned by C. c. Crosby, and occupied by
George Lawrence, was burned. Mr.. Lawrence
with his family, were aroused from their slum-
hers inst in time to escape from the burning build
ing; but very little Of the furniture was saved
Mr. Crosby had no insurance; loss, about $500.
Again, on the night Of the 3lst of March, the
people Of the same peighboIhood were called TO
witness the burning Of the building known as the
Roland Fisher house. 1t was occupied by two
families at the time, Alonzo and George Colby; 1t
was owned by Talbot Lawrence. They had not
occupied the house but few weeks The broth
ers were in the saw mill to work when the flle
broke out; it was first discovered by Mrs George
Colby just as she was preparing to retire Tor the
night; she opened the door leading from the ell
TO the woodshed and found the shed to be on
fire. After giving the alarm to Mrs. Alonzo Col
by she ran to the MILL and although the brothers
were in plain sight of the house they saw nothing
of the fire until the alarm was gwen ny Mrs. Coi-
by at the mill entrance. During this time Mrs.
Alonzo Colby succeeded in saving her bed and
some of the drawers in her bureau, 1t being all
that was saved in the upper story, for when help
came 1t was too late to enter the upper part on
account of the smoke. Neatly all of the turni-
turc in the lower part was saved. Most OF the
furniture Of the last tenant, Mr. George Mcfar,
land, was stored in the upper part, and was all
lost. Had there been no accident in connection
with it there would not have been quite as much
reason for complaint or mourning over losses, Tor
the heaviest was fully covered by insurance: There
was something Of an explosive nature IN some
part of the house. At the time of the explosion
Mr.. Aonzo Colby and Mr. Orren Tyler were in
side of the house; they had very narrow escape
Mr.. Colby quite badly burnt about the
face, hands and wrists. The explosion was such
that the front door was blown from its hinges into
the front yard, partition broken through, and the
window in the attic was blown out, frame, casing
and all, distance of twenty five feet from the
house. Il is a mystery to all how the fire caught
when it did, and what caused the explosion.

were swept off by the angry waters. Loss from
