RUTLAND, Jan. ia fire broke out at
about 8: 20 this morning in the Rutland
Savings Bank block, the largest block in
town, corner OF Merchants Row and Cen
tire st. The cause is yet undetermined.
The flames sped rapidly inside the build
ing and destructive fire seemed immi-
nent. The flames by the vigilance of the
firemen, were confined to the inside of the
block. The working OF the fire in the par
titions made il impossible to save the
properties and furniture of the stores, Of
fees and several societies occupying the
block. Little was saved except from the
first story.
Conductor H. F. Sampson, who has for
many years run the mail train on the
Connecticut River road from Windsor To
Springfield, has been chosen superintend-
ent OF that railroad.
Mrs Polly W. Ormsbee, mother OF ex-
Gov. OrInsbee OF Brandon, died on Friday
morning at the residence of her daugh-
ter in Tconderoga, N y, aged SO years.
A dastardly act was committed at Rut-
land last week. When joseph Tower
went to his barn in the morning he found
his horse dead. The horse had been fed
with corn, covered with paris green, dur
ing the night. Two other horses in the
barn had been given similar dose, and
one of them will die.

Gen. Grout has introduced in the House
bill appropriating $4,000 Tor the estab-
lishment of fish factory in VT. and Sena-
tor Edmunds has presented resolution
of inquiry on the same subject. An ear
nest effort will be made TO secure action
on Gen CIRCUITS bill at the present session.
Vermont is almost the only one of the N.
England States which does not already
have hatchery. The purpose of the bill
is to restock the mountain streams of the
state with trout. Gen. Grout believes that
this can be done in three wears time, and
that it would be great gain in attracting
visitors to the state.
Another landmark went up in flames
Sat. night, when the Dixon hotel at Under
hill was burned. 1t was closed for the
winter, and the flames probably started
from the stoves, in which fires were built
saturday TO keep the house warm. Inc
building and furniture were valued at
81, 500, and the insurance was 5000. The
original part of the house was built in
1903, and it has been a resort for people
from all over New England
Rutland had serious coasting accident
last week Thursday. A party OF young
men were sliding down Gouger Hill and
because of defective runner the heavy
traverse dashed into Moon brook. James
CockliTf had his nose broken, Chas. Wood
ard sustained fracture OF the leg, but the
most serious injury was to Frank Rielle.
A piece of ice penetrated his bowels to q
depth of at least three inches. He will
recover.
For burns and wounds we would recon-
mend Salvation Oil. All druggists sell it
at rs cents.
Many cases have come under our notice
where a single bottle of DIR. Bulls Cough
Syrup relieved sufferer from a severe
cough, which had been treated for months
by competent physicians. 25c.
