GEORGE HAMMoND's RESIDENCE DE.
sTROYFD

Yesterday afternoon the fine resi-
dcnce of Mr.. George Hammond, about
one mile east OF the village, was total
ly destroyed by fire.
The fire started in the basement,
where the heating apparatus was locat-
ed, about three O'Clock. The members
of the family in tho house perceived
the smoke and summoned MIR. Ham
mond from the barn where he was en-
ployed. 1t was found that the base
ment was already in fierce blaze 80
that II was impossible to enter. Efforts
were at once directed to saying furni-
ture, and considerable amount was
removed from the lower rooms. But
the smoke rapidly filled the whole
building SO that this work was soon put
an end to. The flames gained rapid
Roadway, and in two hours the house
was level with the ground. The neIgh-
bors and people living on Munger street
saw the fire, and number were on
hand in time to render efficient assis-
ance in saving furniture. The alarm
did not reach the village until too late
to bring any effective help In saving
property. A fire engine would have
been useless for lack of water.
The loss is considerable. Nearly all
of Mrs. Hammon'ds furniture was
stored In the building and was total
loss. Most of the remaining furniture
was destroyed, the portion saved being
but a fraction of all there was. The
house was built about sixteen years ago
at an expense of 800, II was one
of the largest and finest farm houses in
the county, The interior was all nice.
ly finished in hard wood. The insur-
ance is only about $1,000. The tene-
ment house on the opposite side of the
road was ready for the family with the
rescued goods to move into, where they
are now domiciled, The many friends
of Mr.. and Mrs. Hammond will feel
the deepest sympathy for them in their
losses.

uThe "Nuisance BILL" recently
passed by the legislature, makes any
place where liquor is sold or given
away, or where gambling is allowed, a
nuisance, and the place may be shut up,
the keeper being liable to fine oftwenty
to two hundred dollars and to imprison-
ment three monhst. 1t is to be hoped
that several nuisances in this vicinity,

to convert themselves in earnest, as we

ready 10 give the new law fair trial,
and see If 1t will prove more effective in
stopping the violations of the law than
hasbeen the case heretofore.
