BLAZE AT .BELLAIRE.

About o'clock on Thursday morning
the Bellaire Goblet Works were discover
ed to be on fire, and before it was sub
dued the works were totally consumed,
together with the dwelling houses of H.
w. Burrows and Mrs. VIM. Hall, which
adjoined the works. Much difficulty in
getting water was experienced owing to
the fact that mud had collected in the
fire plugs. When many adjoining build
ings seemed to be ready to burst into a
blaze, a better supply of water came on,
and the fire was soon under control. Two
firemen were badly burned in their efforts
to extinguish the flames. The coal tip
pie belonging to Jacob Heatherington
was also burned. The fire started in the
glass house, but the origin is not definite
ly known.
The Lantern Globe Company lessees
of the glass house place their loss at S15,-
600 on which they had an insurance of
$1O,5OO. The loss to the Goblet Compa-
ny, owners of the building, is $4,000,
with an insurance of $4,000. The de-
struction of the tipple causes loss of
about $4,000. The house of Burrows was
valued at $1,000, and insured for $500,
while Mrs. Halls house was valued at
$780, and insured for $1,000. Altogeth-
er it was "a rather destructive fire and
will be felt by the town, as the works had
resumed operations only the Monday
previous. By the burning of the Glass
Works about one hundred and fifty men
are thrown out of employment.

CHILDREN's DAY at Burr's Mills, on
Saturday, drew very fair crowd and the
exercises were of an interesting order
Several Sunday schools occupied places
on the programme, and the performances
of each were much of the same nature
as heretofore. 1t was beautiful day for
picnicking in the woods, and that fact
drew a large number. The camp-meet-

the whole was concerned, the crowd be-
ing exceptionally small any day except
Saturday. 1t is probable some new meth
cd in regard to management will be
adopted or the meeting will die out.

A FREIGHT wreck occurred at Spen-
GERS on Friday, under rather peculiar
circumstances. While going down the
hill the second section of freight broke
in two, and the engineer pulled out in Or
der to keep ahead of the detached cars,
and thus prevent a smash up. While
running pretty lively the engine crashed
into the rear end of the first section, and
the locomotive, cabOose and several cars
were very much the worse for the en-
counter. After this had happened the
detached cars came up and caused an
other wreck. Owing to the jumbled up
condition of affairs trains were delayed
for several hours.
