Of 315O.OOG.
Tho worst fire St Johnsbury, Vt. has
ever known began suaday morning and
ragged fiercey for two hours In that time
several business blocks were destroyed. A
gale was blowing from the northeast and
the fire swept ol with resi,tless force The
local fire department did splendid work,
but the high wind and the oil that
was stored In the burning buildings did
much to assist the progress of the flames.
Most Of the business buildings burned were
substantial structures, but in the rear were
a lot OF old houses which had been locked
upon for some time as veritabl, finder
boxes 1t Is thought certain that a man
and woman occupying rooms in the build
