Orleans County monitor. [volume] (Barton, Vt.) 1872-1953, 1891-09-21
ed It was a very convenient store

with his goods. There was a dress
makers room onsecond story, occupi-
ed by Eliza Austin and Winnie Taylor,
Alfred Wilkie also had a tenement in
this building and lost something in his
household effects without insurance.
The insurance held by Mr. Stafford
was 81, 800 on store building, 5000 on
the house and So, ZOO on goods. The
insurance will cover the loss on the
goods, but he loses heavily on his
buildings. The goods from this store
are chiefly removed to the vestry of
the Methodist church, where they will
remain until some other disposition
can be made. Mr.. Buchanan has put
his goods in the Webster store, where
they can be handled comfortably for
the present. Mr.. Stafford and Mr..
Buchanan are enterprising business
men, and it will be a misfortune to
the village if they go out of business
on account OF this. 1t is hoped that
two good blocks will be erected in
place of the buildings burned. Mr..
Orne's insurance was $1,000, which will
pretty well cover his loss. The build
ing was owned by Mrs. w. @. Twom-
bly, and Mrs. Brockway, and was also
insured for 81 200, and the loss on this
will not be heavy. The loss of prop
erty, obstruction of buildings and in
terruption of business, are at present
blow to the place, but we expect that
the people of this plucky and enter
prising village will not allow it to be
permanent injury. New buildings
will doubtless go up soon to take the
place of the old ones. 1t ought to be
a source of congratulation that the fire
was kept within the limits named,
and that no greater loss was suffered.
Fire caught on the hotel and in
many other places, while the adjoin-
ing buildings were scorched and bis
tered by the heat. The women work
ed as hard as the men and rendered
valuable assistance in removing and
taking care of the goods. If help
could have arrived from the south in
a reasonable time it is probable that
the Stafford building could have been
saved. AS soon as the insurance is
adjusted it is probable that Mr.. Stat
ford and Mr.. Buchanan will commence
a sale of their goods.
