The Work Of the Flames ut west Rut-
land, MiddIebury and other Places.
The mill of the True Blue Marble com
pany, two miles from West Rutland, was
burned early last Saturday morning, caus-
ing a loss of $4,000. The property was
insured for $4,000. The fire started i'm
the finishing room and at that time only
the few men who keep the saws work
ing at night were in the building. There
was an abundance of water at hand, but
there were no facilities for handling it eX-
cept with pals. The fire burned very
slowly, the building not being consumed
until three hours after the fire broke out.
1t is thought that if the engine had been
sent out from West Rutland much of the
property would have been saved but the
boy sent to give the alarm was thrown
from his horse. and the fremcn were not
aroused. The mill was 200 feet long and
so wide, and was considered one of the
best in the state. Employment was
given to 50 men. The mill will he rebuilt
at once, and its capacity enlarged, as the
company is rushed with orders.
The Methodist church at Middlebury
was destroyed by fire last Sunday after
noon. The loss is estimated at $4,000,
with $500 insurance. The fire had gained
good Roadway when discovered and all
that could be done by the tremen was to
protect adjoining buildings. The water
works, which could not be used at the time
of the disastrous fire last fall again proved
faulty. No water could he obtained from
the first three hydrants, causing a delay of
several minutes. The church was repair
ed in 1850 at a cost of $500, and the soci-
ETY. was just getting clear of debt growing
ont of tbp rntpirs and fbp prppt inn nf a
new parsonage in 1883. 1t is probable
that the church will be rebuilt. The fire
was caused by defective furnace.
There were three fires at Burlington on
Sunday-in the Central House building

were spoiled causing loss of several hun
dred dollars. The damage at the other
! fires was slight.

The Greatest English Preacher Of Mod
crn Times.

Rev. Charles Haddon Sturgeon, the
great English preacher, died at Mentone,
France. at late hour last Sunday night.
He had suffered for years from rheumatic
govt: of late there have been complica-
ton, with other ailments, and ever since
last summer the condition of his health
ha, been precarious The last two weeks
Of his life were passed in physical agony,
and the vitality which he showed wa, re-
markablc Mr. Sturgeon was born al
Kelvedom, ESSEX. in 1884. He was the son
and grandson of clergymen of the hide
pendent denomination. His wonderful
gift As a preacher showed itself at an early
age. and when only Is years old he was
preaching to a small congregation at Wa
terbcach. His fame grew rapidly, and he
was widely known As the hoy preacher. -
He was successfully called to larger and
still larger congregations, and finally, in
1851, an immense tabernacle, capable of
seating more than 5000 people, was built
for him in Ncwington Butts, London, and
there he has ever since preached, Sunday
after Sunday, to the greatest of modern
audiences 1t is estimated that he received
into his church between 1000 and 10000
members, and in addition founded over 30
chapels in various parts of London.
His remarkable hold upon the people as
a public speaker was not because of his
gifts and graccs as an orator, but because
of his intense conviction, his strong per
sonaity, his simple, direct, incisive speech,
and his desire to win those who heard him
to better ways of life. He has often times
differed widely from his Baptist brethren,
and on such occasions has defended his po-
sition with a sturdy force which raised a
storm for the time being. While broad
and liberal in his ideas of Christian fellow
ship. he believed thoroughly in the Cal
vaniStc doctrine of everlasting punishment
and insisted that others should believe it,
As whole, however, his preaching wa,
not controversial, but emphasized as it,
central thought the divine 1--we as he saw
its manifestation in Christ the Saviour.

\ Good Estimate of Sturgeon.
From the Philadelphia Record.

From the Philadelphia Record
1t was Demosthenes who said that the
great secret of oratory was action As OPP
posed to this view Carlyle held that no ora
tor could impress his hearers unless he be
leved what he told them; and this seems
to have been the true secret of the success
of the late Mr.. Sturgeon. His carnestness
and tremendous conviction were at the
bottom of his great influence over his hear
ers; and his direct utterance of his firm
beliefs convinced them. His phrases were
homely and quaint; yet his manner was
natural. He spoke to the people in their
own language. His lessons were pictures,
and the story which he told reached to the
deep spiritual want of man. Besides this,
he was firm believer in all the practical
agencies which conduce to moral elevation ;
and if his theology were not in keeping
with the higher criticism of the age, this
was more than compensated for by the hui
manity which found expression in his many
deeds of love and charity.

Following is the text of the cable mes

Chili's proposition for a settlement of the
differences between the two governments:
DEPARTMENT or STATE,
WAsmNGToN, d. c., Jan. 30, 1892.
Egdn, Minister Santiago:
am directed by the President to ac-
knowledge the receipt of Senior Perera's
despatch of the 18th inst. 1t has been
communicated to Congress and has given
great pleasure to the people of the United
States and to the executive department, as
it restores the correspondence between the
two republics to basis of cordiality and
makes, as he believes, a full and honorable
adjustment of all unsettled matters easily
attanable
The President notes with qualification
the expressions of regret for and condem-
nation of the assault upon the sailors of
the Baltimore offered by Mr. Pereira, and
congratuatcs the Chilan government upon
the frank and ample withdrawal of the
Malta circular and upon the spirit of JUS
tice displayed towards Minister Egan. You
will assure the CHILEAN government that
the President will be glad to meet, in the
most generous spirit, these friendly over
lures.
Believing that the subject Of reparatiOn
for the assault upon the seamen of the
Baltimore is now capable of adjustment
between the two governments by the usual
diplomatic methods, the President post
pones, for the present, any discussion of
the suggestions made by Senior Pereira as
to the use of other methods; not doubling
that the sense of justice of Chilli will enable
the two governmcnts'to speedily and hon
orably make a full end of the whole mat
ter. BLAINE.

ANyrH1xa TO BEAT HARRISON.
Platt May Try TO Nominate Blaine
With q Hurrah.

WASHINGTON, May 6.-Senator Quay
Senator Wsshburn, Senator Wolcott, ex-
Speaker Reed and the other anti. Harrison
republican senator's and representatives are
to have the benefit of the advice Of ex-
Senator Plat. who is expected tomorrow,
and of Chairman Clarkson, who is expected
Monday, In their planning to prevent Presi-
dent Harrison's denomination. Although
anything and anybody TO beat Harrison
seems to be their motto. it is not strictly
true. for they have not been able yet to find
another candidate they can all agree upon,
except Secretary Blaine, who is still
regarded as not being available. 1t may be
that ex-senator Platt's scheme TO make
out Of the country and keeping him
out until after the Minneapolis
convention, and forcing his nomination
right through in the convention may be
carried out. Ex-senator Platt and Chair
man Clarkson are to sec Secretary Blaine
when they come, as the other plotters
against the President have done. and he
may after all consent to be their leader.
BLAINE NOT APT TO CONSENT.
II he does not, and 1t IL believed that In
view of the fact that President Harrison
would have influence enough in the oonven-
tion TO prevent his getting an unanimous
nomination, to say nothing of the influence
which the inertia OF the administration
would have against his election, Secretary
Blaine, who has mentioned both
these factors to those who have
pressed him to allow them to nominate him,
will not consent. After Secretary Blaine
there are as many candidates as there are
plotters. Represen tative Reed, as both plot
ter and candidate, is opposed by Secretary
Blaine, but Is as seriously considered by the
others as Senator Sherman, Minister IAu-
ooln, Gov. Mckinley. Gen. Alger, Score
tary Rusk or any OF the Others mentioned.
Some of the plotters want to keep up this
uncertainty until the convention meets
claiming that the first thing to do Is to beat
President Harrison. The nominee must be a.,
aud will be, nominated by the northern re-
publican states. they say. and President Har-
rison cannot be nominated by them, for
they do not think he can be elected. and so,
with few exceptions, they have not in
structed for him. The conferences of the
anti Harrison republicans, which are held
daily, promise to be more interesting after
the arrival Of ex-senator Platt and Chair
man Clarkson.
