Stowe.-Report says that on October 4,
1868, a gang of men commenced work on
the Mount Mansfield Hotel. At about noon,
October !, 1889, smoke was seen issuing from
the roof of the hotel and in a very short
time the roof was a seething mass of flame.
Men from all parts of the town, on hearing
the fire bell ring, were soon on hand to
render assistance. A large amount of fur
nture, including pianos, large mirrors, beds,
bedding, etc, were saved. A line of men
and women was formed to the river and
water was soon brought to save the village
if possible. Fortunately there was but lit
tie wind and what there was carried the
fire from, rather than towards, the nearest
buildings. The last part of the wall fell at
about half-past two o'clock and the immedi-
ate danger was passed. A. G. Raymond's
house, standing only about forty feet from
the hotel, was saved only by the greatest
extrion. Most of the villagers packed their
valuabes and many carried their 60 DDS to
places of safety. No building however was
burned but the hotel itself. The " whiskey
element" being in the lower part of the
house, of course was saved. Quite guam
tity, however was said to have been stolen
and to all appearances considerable was
drunk during the afternoon A pail of sill
yer ware which had been carried to a neigh
boring veranda was seen TO be covered with
a blanket and was being put in a mans
wagon, when it was recovered. The main
building was three hundred feet long and
three stories high. The fire is supposed by
some to be incendary and by others to have
caught from defective chimney. The
loss is placed at S105, 900, with from $40, 900
to 900 insurance.
f. r. Cheney, former resident and well
known in these parts, is spending few days
