A $4,000 FIRE.

The brick engine house Of the New ON
don Northern railroad company, Just south
of the depot was destroyed bv fire early
last saturday morning. Stories vary as
regard, the origin. The general report is
that IA boy, who wa, employed rs a wiper Of
engines. while drawing "a supply of oil
carrle,sly laid his torch down, aud in that
way the fire was communicated to an oil
barrel The flames once started spread
rapidly among the inilammahle material,
and We're soon beyond control The first
alarm was given about leo 10y the engines
in the yard, hut it was several minutes be
fore Estcy'- gong was sounded and people
generally aroused Night Switchman Al
ger with the assistance of two or three
men who were in the building, ran out two
of the engines, but they were unable to
save the other two that were not fired
up. The entire village fire department
responded promptly, and in ten minutes
after the alarm were playing upuu the
building, but there WIS no possibility of its
being saved, as the flames hal made quick
havoc. Good service was done ON one of
the engines and in saving the wood exten-
sion on the north The general work Of
the department in the heavy rain was very
satisfactory and everything possible was
done with quickucss and despatch Ii was
probably less than - minutes after the fire
started that the building collapsed the
walls falling almost simultaneously The
engine house was about no hy 81 feet in
size, and was built nearly 20 years ago Mt "A
cost Of between Sll,00O and $4,000 The
local railroad officials do not know the ex-
act amount of the insurance, and affairs
are in an unsettled condition, as the insur
unce men have not yet made an examina
ton. 1t is expected that the company will
eventually rebuild on what is known as
Cooley's meadow, n quarter of mile or
more south of the depot.
