RUTLAND.
The Bates House block is Ia ruins,
having been fired by an incendiary, |
Wednesday evening of last week. The
loss on the building and damage to goods,
which were mostly removed, will foot

are indignant as well they may be, and

best insurance companies will withdraw
from town. Rutland once succeeded in
breaking up gang Of incendiaries, and
Il is high time they made another effort
in the same direction. Hanging TO a.
lamp post would be none too good fate
for the rascals, II we were only certain
who they are.
