[Special correspondence of the REEoRMEn.J
fIoba1,y;' the ..::.s:ssest and most destructive
fire that ever visited any town In Orange coun-
ty, was one that left thirteen families homeless,
and burned the stores of seventeen business
firms in West Randolph last Saturday. 0 j
McWain, clerk for w E Lams0n, furniture
dealer, went into the basement of the furniture
store at about ten o'clock in the forenoon to
draw some oil, and came back at once saying,
"the cellar u all aiire." 1t was soon found that
the fire gould not be corf$rolled, and o general
alarm WA given. The Central Vermont was
called upon and special trains were at once de-
spatched to bring, the engines and fire com;
panies from South Royalton, Northfeld and
Montpelier. The flames rapidly spread and
soon all the buildings surrounding the one
where the fire originated were burning, and not
till every building IN the triangle between Main
and Pleasant streets, except Smiths block, from
Merchants row north were burned was the pro-
gress of the flames stayed. Jack Dyer's resi-
dencc and his livery and sale stables and other
houses upon the east side Of Pleasant street,
were saved with difficulty. Tewksbury's large
store, Bass jewelry and fancy goods establish
nent and Willard Gays residence received con-
siderable damage. Dubois g. Gays large brick
block was saved by the timely arrival of out
side help; had that burned the buildings to the
east along the railroad track would have been
in danger. There was but little wind, but SO
rapid was the progress of the flames tnat at D
m. the buildines were brrned to the @ ground.

Those of our state exchanges that are not
controlled by railroads are justly indignant at
the defeat of the bill in the senate to prevent
unjust discrimination in freight charges. Thir-
teen senators, ,steered by our good friends Hatch
and Writers of Burlington and Milton respect
lively, succeeded in defeating the bill by a ma
jprity of two. This is a great victory for the
railroads, but it is not permanent. The conclu
sion'is inevitable that the next state campaign
must be made on the issue of anti-monopoly,
when the people will see TO it that men are sent
to the legislature, ard not personal property OF
railroads ANA tools OF professional ioh' yisfs.
Senators Thompson, Gibbs and Paul were evil
IDENTIFY the leaders in the senate in this tempo
ranly successful effort to perpetuate the arbi-
traiy power of the railroads. The end is not
