The Laundry Fire.

Fire broke out in the Troy Steam
Laundry on Beech street about 5 o'clock
yesterday morning, and resulted in loss
of 81, 500, on which there is insurance to
the amount of $3.50. This laundry was
situated in the wing of the residence of
John G. HARDWOOD, and had been run by
him for several years as our readers well
know. Recently Mrs. Chas. Graham and
sister had taken the business, and, al
though strangers in town, had built up
an increasing trade. The result was that
those ladies had large quantity of work
in hand most of which was burned. They
had, moreover, Just stocked up the laun-
dry with supplies enough to last until
next spring, and these are a total loss
with no insurance. There was no in
surance on the laundry machinery be-
longing to Mr.. HARDWOOD. 1t is thought
that the fire originated over the pipe
running out of the dry room. The wing
was burned but the main part of the
house was saved, considerably injured,
however, and the contents all wet down
with water. Mr.. Harwood will at once
rebuild, and the ladies will continue the
business. In another place they have a
card explanatory of some of the courte-
sizes received. We admire their courage.
There is no reason why they cannot be-
gin again here as well MS somewhere else.
This laundry did excellent work, and
will retain its old customers in its new
quarters when built.
The fire department did well under the
circumstances. Anyone with ears could
tell that in the matter of alarms some
one Numbered. Two boxes were rung
instead of one, as the rules prescribe, and
the din and confusion of steam whistles
trying to give alarms when the electric
apparatus would do it so much
better was confusing and destroyed all
the information given by the real alarm
rung on the Second Congregational bell
and was so misleading that the question
was asked: "What is the racket about ?"
We suggest that the noise be stilled in
future-in other words, ring the electric
alarm and no other, and that the bell be
allowed to ring long enough to awaken
people, give the number of the box, and
that only one box be rung. What is the
use of having an electric fire alarm and
then ignore its use in time of emergency?

Fitchburg, occurred at the Church of the
Immaculate Conception at 3 o'clock this
afternoon, Rev. p. j. O'Connell officiat-

and Josephine E. Healy bridesmaid.
The bride looked beautiful in costume
of ivory white brocaded silk, with crepe
de chine en- train, and tuIle veil falling
to the edge of the train and caught to
the hair by cluster of rosebuds. The
bridesmaid was attired in ivory white
nuns yelling, and carried a bouquet of
pink roses. A reception was held after
the ceremony, at the home of the brides
parents at Hotel Fitchburg, which was
attended by the relatives and few init
mate friends of the contracting parties.
The reception room was handsomely
decorated with roses and maidenhair
ferns. The presents were costly and
very numerous. Mr.. and Mrs. Donnelly
left here on the 5.45 p. M, train for a

A Great Question Answered.

The school teacher had invited
his oratorical friend to visit his
school and while there he addressed
the scholars. His remarks were
histrionic and historic and in the
course of them he ran across julius
Caesar.
ut was time of tumult in Rome,
the Eternal City-you all know
where Rome is, Children" he said,
land Caesar was away in the north
fighting. He knew strong hand
and brave heart were needed there,
but none dared to make the mo-
mentous step and he hesitated to
rush where others feared to tread.
Beyond the Rubicon Caesar heard
the din of discord and at last he
came down to the banks of that
classic stream and looked towards
the capital city. To march thither
meant victory or death and Caesar
crossed the Rubicon. And why did
he cross the Rubicon? | ask you,
children, weak and wavering be-
tween right and wrong, why he

Short line. This committee has never

not be well to hear from this committee

evident effort now being made by the
officers of the road to secure its early
building, and Ell Paso is not usually
slow to look after her interests.
In a personal letter to cne of the
editors of the Times the secretary of
the road says:
"We are very much in earnest about
building this road and we Thoroughly
believe the road will be started III the
near future. We have the most cordial
and friendly feeling for FL Paso and will
go much more than half way to meet
her. We haven't time to indu ge in

good faith and sincerity; Tor what could
we possibly gain by a contrary course?
