a BIG BLAZE.
The Passumpsie Road Lose 400 Cords
of Wood and Two Buildings.

A spark from locomotive found its
way into the Passumpsic railroad COM
pany's big wood shed at this place
Tuesday morning, and the fire that
burned up the four or five hundred
cords of wood that were stored there
in is smoking yet. The alarm was
at the hydrants and in getting the hose
under the railroad track and again in
getting the water started, but finally
four or five streams were playing and
the tiremen did their best to save the
wood. But the fire was fixed to burn,
the wood was packed just right for it
and with n strong northwest wind
there was nothing lacking in the way
of ''draft" through the big shed which
was about Us feet long. The water
had no show at all and did neither good
nor harm and so it was finally decid-
ed to let the thing burn, as there was
no property in the immediate vicinity
that was endangered. The wood and
the wOOdshed, small ice house ad-
joining and an old building used for
storage purposes, were all destroyed.
Firemen were at work all day and in
the evening Superintendent Folsom
sent down men from LyndOnville to
aid in watching it through the night.
The loss is in the vicinity of $4,000.
Partially insured
Before the new railroad station was
built there was hydrant between the
tracks, IA few rods from the shed. Pres
ident Raymond ordered it removed
last year, though the village authori-
ties offered to put it wherever it was
most needed. Had it been in its old
place a few moments work would have
it to one end of the shed. The shed
will not probably be rebuilt on the
same spot as the Passumpsic company
has long contemplated using the
ground it occupied for tracks.
The fire was quite an attraction
Tuesday evening. "It's the prettiest
fire we ever had in st. JOhnsbury,"
said delighted old gentleman who
was watching it; and it was a very fine
sight. The platforms at the station
were crowded with people until late
in the evening and it could easily be
seen from all the hills about as it
burned through the night.

THE HERO OF AN HOUR.

Charles Ihayer was the most prom
inent figure in three-act under water
scene at HOvey's mill in Summerville
last Friday. The pipe that carries the
water supply for the Fairbanks aque-
duet company rests in the bed OF
Moose river just above the dam at
Hovey's mill. The packing in the
joint of the pipe "blOwed out" some
time since and, as it was eight or ten
feet under water, there were none OF
the scale folks who could hold theiI
breaths long enough to fix it. A di-
ver's suit was sent for, Il raft built over
the pipe and Friday afternoon Thayer
rOhed in the suit, dropped out of sight
into the pond, while man on the raft
turned II crank that furnished him fresh
air. 1t was found necessary to take q
number of trips down below as the
water was cold and the close proximity
of Stebbins' bone mill made Thayel
feel little uneasy, but the job was
finally done, and well done too. The
audience, consisting of half dozeI
men and two or three dozen boys, were
loud in their praises of the hero of the
hour.

Springs have broken out in Edward
Aliens field where water was never
seen before" said another. The plain
facts are that rain has been scant the
