FIRE The people OF this burgh
were startled by the cries OF fire, about
nall.past seven o'clock, on Tuesday
morning. 1t proved to be in the base
ment of the Joel Eaton block, in
Phoenix row, under Eaton q Pinney's
clothing store. A fire was built 10
the furnace under the clothing store
about half an hour before the lire, or
rather smoke, was discovered, but
how it caught remains n mystery
The village pump was the first engine
on hand and did excellent execution,
but the rooms being full OF smoke, it
was difficult for the man at the nozzle
to do any execution, and the fire
worked up between the walls The
village engine and the factory engine
took their stands on the pond back OF
the block and played through the
windows, and what promised at one
time to be q conAagration, was
brought under control in about hall
an hour. The occupants of the block
were, Eaton & Pinney, clothiers: E.
Vaughan, West India goods and
erocenes--on the first floor Sec
ond hoor-A. Barnes, boot and
shoe repair shop; Joel Eaton, town
liquor agency; John Oliver. barber
shop. J. M. Furman and Others &C.
cnpied sleeping rooms on the third
floor. The fire made some progress
in partition walls and broke through
in many places On the first floor, burn
ing many Of the goods on the shelves
and smoking all thoroughly. The
building was thoroughly drenched
with water. Mr.. Vaughan moved ou|
his goods. but his stock is almost a
total loss, rs is also that of Eaton d
Pinney. We understand the las
named parties are fully insured in va
rious stock companies. The Wood
stock bakery and L. B. Marble. miller
had goods on sale at Mr.. Vaughan's
ON which we believe there is no insur
ancc. John Oliver had no insurance
the fire did not reach him, but hi
things were scattered, and suffered
from smoke, water, and thieves. Capt
Barnes stood guard over his tools ant
things to keep idiots from scattering
them, and he had hard work HI
says If another fire occurs on hi
premises he will bring his shotgun
with him. J. B. Jones, dry good
dealer, in stone store, suffered from
smoke some in the second story, an(
got ready to move. when the fire wa
brought under control. We believ
he claims no damage. His store ant
goods look as bright and tempting
ever. Half the block is owned by tn
Savings Bank and the other half b.
the heirs of the Dexter Anderson es
tate; damage to same not far from
$1,000. The block and tenants nance
were insured in American and Englisl
stock companies, for which Charlie
NJ. Marsh is agent, and the losses vii
