vineyard Haven, New England summer
Resort, in Ash es.
1 he village of Vineyard Haven, Mass has
been almost entirely swept away by fire.
Over fifty acres were burned, caus-
iny an aggIe yate loss of about $780,
OOJ. All the hotels, stores and public
buildings were burned with about fifty
other buildings. including several small
manufacturing establishments. Nearly one
hundred families are homeless and many
almost penniless, and with no other clothing
except what they chancsd to have on when
when they were driven out into the night by
the flames.
Vineyard Haven was an old-fashioned sea-
port village the buildings mostly of wood
and the streets narrow, and the fire swept
over it unchecked. 1t broke out at 8 O'Clock
in the harness factory of r. w. Croker,
when two thirds of the inhabitants were
asleep. Almost Immediately the whole struc-
tlre was in flames and the fire began its
devastating march through the town. At 10
O'Clock II had progressed across the main
sire ct and was sweeping toward the southern
part of the vi lage. Tne only means of
checking ii were the primitive buckets. The
whole vii g. was aroused and the streets
we're crowded wi h the effects of rome ess
pc ople. severe TO thearterly Storm was
b. o wing and a S light rain falling.
Most of the residents of Cottage City
started for Vineyard Haven between 10 and
IL O'clock and the scene they witnessed on
arriving at the burning village was very dis
tressing. The streets were filed with all
sorts of personal property, over which the
women and children, the sick and infirm
were lamenting in pitiable manner.
Every store i'll til village was then
on fire, and the postoffice, express
offices, livery stables and hotels
except the Grove Hill hotel-all we're in
flames. Some forty acres had been burned
over. The wind that famed the fire was lit
tie short of hurricane. There were about
two hundred and fifty summer RESIDENTS in
the village, many of whom were obliged to
fee precipitately to places of safety.
The dwelling hous es DESTROYED were not
more than half insured, and they were owned

frugal savings ard who find themselves in
their old age deprived of the homes that

there is an insurance of $64, 200.

Resolutions Adopted at the Annual Conven-
tion In ~. Paul.

At the meeting of the American Forestry
congress in st. Paul the committee on the
forest experiment stations made a report
comm enting on the decrease of State forests,
the want of trained foresters, the non-exist-
ence of forest academies, and the compare
lively little importance which legislatures at
tach to experiments in forestry. The commit
tee recommended to the members of this con-
gress from their respective States the neces-
sity of establishing experimental forestry
stations; that this congress memorabilia the
legislatures of the different States, urging
upon them the practicability of establishing
these stations. and that the Ohio plan of or
ganizing such stations is recommended as
the best suited to our circumstances. The
report also recommended the establishment
of an experimental station center in agricul-
tural colleges, and that standing com
mittee on forestry experimental stations be
appointed. 1t was adopted.
