The Glen House, at Mt. Washington,
Burned to the Ground,
A Smashup on the Denver & Rio Grande-
Miscellaneous Accidents.

MOUNT WASHINGTON. n. H., Oct 1.-The
Glen house and outbuildings were burned
tonight. The woods adjoining are in blaze
and strong breeze from the northwest.
The fire presented grand sight from the
Summit house. 1t is owned by W. IL G. r.
Milliken, and closed for the season to-day.
Midnight-At this hour the fire at the
Glen house is still smOuldering. Everything
is destroyed, and the fire in the woods
has nearly spent itself. AS the nearest
telegraph Office and nearest inhabitants
are at the signal station eight miles distant it
is impossible to ascertain the cause Of the
fire or give full details. One of the walters
at the house who left there this morning and
is now at the Summit, states the guests had
all left, the only persons remaining being
about a dozen help. Two men, however,
walked down the carriage road this afternoon
with the intention of staying there. Owing
to the early hour of the fire it is probable no
lives are lost. The horses and cows used
during the season have not been removed.
