SERIOUS FIRE.


Between one and two o'clock Satur-
day afternoon, fire broke out in a tene-
ment house of ID. w. Aiken, and before
it could be checked five wooden build
ings belonging to ID. w. Aiken & Son.
comprising the business part of the
village, were burned. The loss will
probably reach $4,000. The buildings
were occupied by stores and dwellings.
The Aikens' loss is $1,000 insured for
$4,000. The fire was caused by de-
fective fine. Aid was summoned from
Morrisville and st. Jehnsbury by tele-
phone, but the Morrisville help reach
ing there first caused check to the
flames and the st. Johnsbury firemen
were turned back at Greensboro. Had
there been wind it is believed the
whole village would have been de-
stroyed.

GOVERNOR b. p. CARPENTER.
Poughkeepsie IN. ~ Courier, Jan. 4th.
Governor Carpenter was born in the town
Of Stanford, this county, May IA, 1887. In
1852 he removed with his parents to this city,
and here he has resided ever since. In 1857
he graduated from Union College, and in
1853 was admitted to the bar. In the same
year he was elected District Attorney of
Dutchess county. In 1864 he was appointed
Assessor of Internal Revenue for the Twelfth
NOW Sixteenth) Congressional District, and
held the office until 1869, when he resigned
it. In 1871 he was elected member of the
New York State Constitutional Convention.
In 1872 he was selected as temporary chair
man Of the Republican State Convention at
Utica, and his speech ON that occasion at
tracted attention throughout the State, hav-
ing been published and circulated among the
campaign documents Of that year. In 1876
he was elected State Senator for the Eleventh
District, and in 1877, having positively de-
clined a re election to the Senate, he was
elected County Judge.
For years Gov. Carpenter has been prom
inent man in the Republican party. In the
National Republican Conventions of 1868,
1872 and 1884, he headed the delegations from
this Congressional district, and he has taken
an active part in all the Republican State
Conventions for the past twenty years. For
four years he was chairman Of the Republi-
can State Committee.
Gov. Carpenter is a good speaker, and a
sound, successful lawyer. His style of ex-
preston is singularly terse, exact and forci-
BILE, and he has always been held in high
esteem as an able, frank, and fearless man.
The people of Montana will find in him an
Executive ia every respect eminently fitted
for the important position to which he has
been called.

Gen. SickIes, Clutches.

New York Cor Philadelphia Record
The row between the Marquis de Leuville
and Gen. S.ckles in the lobby of the
Academy of Music the other night did
not amount to as much as was fondly hope
by the reporters. A few words passed
between them-high words on the part Of
the marquis, low on the part OF Gen. Sickles.
The latter seemed to be ashamed that any
one should see him band ying words with
man of Leuville's appearance Leuville, ON the
other hand, was proud to be seen in alterca-
ton with so ell-known a fire-eater. The
only wonder is that the general did not hit
him over the head with his crutch. 1t woulI
not be the first time that he had made use Of
this formidable weapon.
One evening. just after the war, he was
standing in the Office of tue Westminster
hotel, when the conversation fell ul,0n some
of the late exciting incidents. The clerk at
the desk, a bumptious, unpleasant fellow, be-
gan tO spNak contemptuously OF the north,
and intimatei that assassination was none
too good for "Oll Abe Lincoln" The w rls
had scarcely left his mouth wien Gen.
Sickles was seen to spring to his foot can
not say feet-and, Lalancing himself against
the railing. he lifted his crutch and brought
it aero S the unhappy clerks head with such
force that. he kn, cked him off his stool out
into the middle OF the Office floor.
The fact that he has but enc leg does not
seem to make Gen. Sickles any less Of II
terror to his enemies. He is a man OF her.
culean frame and perfectly fearless. Let
him get his ack again,t the wall, one
crutch under hs arm and the other in his
hand, and he can denolish crowd with as
much ease as moving machine cuts
through the new grass

Condolences.
[Cor New York Tribune
SIR: In to-day's issue of The Tribune
there is an editorial upon condolences. 1t
unnecessary for me to say that the story
OF the stoppage Of Mr.. Belongs Watches
etc, as told by me to one or two friends only
land not for publication) has grown with
each repetition. AS it stands it is very
good story. regret that must correct it,
and ask you to assist me in so doing. Upon
leaving for the arctic Mr.. DeLong handed
me his watch, and said simply: The vicis-
studss / may meet and survive will prove
too much for it, and want to use it upon
my return" Mine was the remark, upon
telling the story, that l was surprised at
such an exhibition Of confidence.
Toward the close Of October 1881 q do not
keep a diary, one morning / found the
watch stopped, apparently without cause,
for when shook it gently it started again
and kept its usual time The day the news
from Siberia reached us, Dec. 81, Mr.. De-
Longs little clock stopped: it was sent to the
jewelers. and cleaned. In January, 1882,
the main-spriny OF the watch broke, from
some atmospheric cause, suppose.
! am not superstitious, and attached no
Importance to these occurrences, although
they happened during the long and
painful suspense between the first news
and the finding of the remains. When
was working upon Mr.. Belongs jour
nal naturally noticed these two entries:
"Sept II, Saturday IlSSll-I landed at Sp.
IN lon the Lena, Siberia My United States
ohronometer stopped at about II p. M, only
eight hours after winding" "Oct 3, Mon
day-For some cause my watch stopped at
lO:45 last night, while one of the men on
watch had it. l set it as near as / could
come to the time by guessing, and We must
run by that until / can do better" Oct. 3
is the date Of the last entry.
Mr.. DeLong made no comment upon the
occurrences and simply related the story
as a peculiar incident of a wonderful voyage.
Yours truly, EMMA DELoNG.

There are some things in the town, how

they are generally held to be One OF thee
Is the artists model Many n time have
you read about the good and beautiful girl
who to save her decrepit parents from
starvation, or in the way of entirely inno-
cent vocation. pos.s unclad for artists to
draw from. You have been deceived. 1t l.
true that gi,l' are SO employed, not only in
private studioi but before the classes in the
schools OF art; but it in wholly false that
they are less shameless than tbs occupation
implies. Invariably they are vicious, and
all accounts to the contrary are mere pleas
antries Of fiction. There are numerous
respectable women who serve a.
draped figures, but have the wori Of dis
ting guisheI painter to back the assertion that
the indecency Of nude posturing Is never
associated with decency in the posturant.
