ST ALBANs According to the Messenger
a meeting OF the stockholders of the Aduer-
user company WAS held the other night to
act upon proposition Tor the sale of the
establishment After some discussion, the
matter was referred to a committee consist
ing of Messrs. j. F. McGowan. H. NJ Stan
ton, and j c. Stranahan. ApropOs of some
remarks made at the meeting the Messenger
states that it is "unquallfedly false" that
it ever received contributions to its support
from any source. Ii also rises to remark
that. "since the Advertiser was started the
weekly Messenger has gained more subscrit-
ers than the Advertiser can count in its en-
tire list, and that the circulation of the
daily Is larger than it ever was before"
Such language as this il practically dec
laration OF war, and We shall doubtless
witness renewal of the sanguinary con-
Hict thu, erstwhile ragged between the Ad-
Uerflser and Messenger.

fAIRBANKs's SCALE WORKS DAMAGED.
Of JoHNsBuRY. Vt, Jan. al.-At about
'''o clock this afternoon, fire broke out
IN the oasemcn. of Messrs. E. & T. Fair
oahkss scale works, under the sealing
rooms The alarm was Immediately sound
el' the steam-pumps started, and streams
were soon playing on the fire from every
direction but owing to the great quantity
oil oily matter in the rooms where the
hre broke out, the flames ragged furiously.
spreading with great rapidity. and were not
got completely under control until about 9
O'Clock. So speedily did the flames ascend
TO the rooms above, that several of the
workmen barely escaped with their lives,
some jumping from the windows, and
Others making hasty exit from the rear
entrance, leaving their loose garments be-
hind them, to the flames. BY the strenu-
Gus efforts of those fighting the fire, it was
confined to the building in which it origin
ated, the ware house adjoining being for
tunately saved and fire proof brick wall
between the burning building and the wood
shops saved the latter from destruction.
The loss is chiefly confined to the building
burned ard the machinery in it. as there
were but few scales in this department in
the process OF finishing, and is covered by
insurance. The fire will no; interfere with
the business OF the Messrs. Fairbanks. as the
building destroyed will be Immediately re-
built, and meantime the work done in it
will be done in the other shops The orr
gin Of the fire is not definitely known,
though it Is supposed that some one in
lighting the gas, threw a burning match
on the hoJr, among the litter saturated
with paint and oil. whence the flames spread
with almost lightning Tapidity.
The loss was from $50 900 to $40
600, fully covered by insurance. The
Messrs. Fairbanks consulted with regard
to rebuilding even during the progress of
the fire, and arrangements were then made
for the lumber required in rebuilding,
which will be Immediately entered upon
They will expedite the work to the great
est extent possible, and intend to have
this building rebuilt IN the course Of
month.
