FIRE AT Ru1LASp-Butland was visited by
disastrous fire last Wednesday night The fire
broke out in the upper part Of the Bates House
about eight o clock A prompt alarm was sounded
and the fire department were soon upon the scene
hose was taken through the front door up to
the office and through ii to the upper stories A
stream was thrown in here, but no good could be
done, as the firemen were obliged to desist in
short time owing to the density Of the smoke
The building had been occupied on the second,
third and fourth stories as the Bates house hotel
and was erected for that purpose The first floor
was occupied by stores as follows commencing at
the north A. C. Bates & SON. saddlery and
hardware; George W. billiard dry goods; A. W.
Higgins, drugs medicines and fancy goods; and
Charles s. Mason, cothing-all fronting on Mer-
chants row; and ON Center street, Abraham Bros,

o. Cunningham, clothing. In the basement was
saloon, now, or lately occupied By Charles
Cushman. All the above stores were entirely de-
stroyed. Assistance was obtained from White
hall careful review OF the Insurance on the
fire, places the loss by the insurance companies
at about eighty-fye thousand dollars The actual
loss is considerably more The loss is well dis
tributed among q large number OF companies
Only the day before the fire, MIR. II, H. Bishop Of
this village, had returned from Rutland, where he
had made arrangements TO lease the house. We
understand that it is the intention Of Mr.. Bates to
rebuild at once. There is a deep feeling in Rat
land that the incendlary should be arrested and
promptly dealt with We sincerely trust that
such will be the case

WATERBURY. The revival in Waterbury con
Times with unabated interest, and Is apparently
extending in the vicinity Meetings for prayer
and conference are kept up FIVE evenings in the
week, In both the Methodist and Congregational
churches, and there are prayermeetings mornings
at nine clock. These meetings are attended By
from one to two hundred in both churches. Such
manifestation Of religious interest has not been
seen In this place for years past Nearly one hun
dred have here expressed desire to lead new
lives In the future The young pastor Of tho Con
gregational church expects the assistance of his
father, Rev. O. G. Wheeler, Of Grand Isle, the

The musical part Of the entertainment was de-
