Swept by Fire.

ST. Johnsbury Suffers to the Amount of
5000, OOO---I5 Families IIomeIess---
Several Business establishments on
Railroad street Destroyed---TvO Per-
sons Pcrished i'm the Flames.
The worst fire in the history of st.
JOhnsbury broke out early Sunday evening
and ragged tiercely for two hours. Several
business blocks and a large number of
stores were destroyed. The flames first APP
peared in the rear of Lougee Brothers &
Smythe's large dry goods store on the east
side of Railroad street. A gale was blow
ing, and the fire swept on with resistless
force, licking up property to the value of
100000. The fire department worked en-
ergetically, but the high wind and the oil
in the buildings were against them.
The list of the business establishments
burned on Railroad street is as follows:
Lougee Brothers d Smythes store, which
contained a large and valuable stock of dry
goods; Balch's Photographic studio on the
top story of the same building; William
Daniels's meat market, on which there was
a small insurance; the Merchants national
bank, 7. c. Spencer's iewelry store with a
valuable stock, Bagley's drug store, Gil
more's boot and shoe store, Roderer's ci-
gar store, Sylvester's meat market, LynCh's
restaurant. The five last-named stores
were located in Wards block, four story
brick structure, three stories of which were
occupied as tenements by II or Is families.
Directly back of Wards block was the eX-
tensive establishment of Griswold, Pearl
& Co., wholesale dealers in flour, grain and
oil. This building took fire early and was
wholly destroyed, together with a large
fro m OF
vile, Barnet and McIndoes were sum-
moned, and an engine was sent from the
former place. At one time, Just previous
to the falling of the walls of Wards block,
the Avenue House, large wooden hotel,
and several manufacturing estabishm -nts
in the vicinity of the depot were in imminent
danger of destruction, fire brands falling in
showers on their roofs, but by hard work
they were saved. The fire probably start
ed about the boiler in the basement of
! Lougee Brothers d. Smythe's store Be-
! sides the establishments mentioned above,
! f.. f. Sargents insurance Office MontgOm-
ery's law Office and a number of dwellings
in the rear of the brick block were cleaned
out. Most of the business blocks burned
were substantial structures but in the rear
were a lot of old buildings which had been
looked upon for some time past as verita-
BILE finder boxes
Two persons persisted in the flames,
Mrs, Marshall, a dressmaker, occupied
rooms on the third floor of one of the
buildings. A fireman brought her down
the stairs but she rushed back after James
A. Mitchell, for many years foreman fol-
NJ. j. Calbeck, who boarded with her
Both were seen at the windows, but they
were sutfocated before the ladders could be

The chairman of the Massachusetts, Re
publican state committee received last Sat
urday morning the following interesting
paper of Hinsdale origin:
We the employees of the Halle & Frost Manu-
featuring company of Hinsdale, n. H., of which
Hon William H. Halle is treasurer, desire to tes-
tify to our appreciation of him as an employer
and his merits a man. Many or us nave been
in his employ for over 30 years, and have always
found him a most sterling friend, ever ready TO
advance our interests and promote our weIare
as laboring men and women. We heartily IN
dorse his nomination, and deem his election as
governor of Massachusetts, for the best interests

Mr.. Haies policy toward his men has
been marked with great lberality, and as
instances of this it is cited that the Halle
& Frost company was the first in the
state to adopt the 1O-hour and weekly pay
ment systems, both being voluntarily
adopted before there was any legislation on
these subjects. Another fact that is re-
membered with pleasure is that seven or
eight years ago, when depression in the
wooden trade had compelled reduction in
wages, they were voluntarily restored by
Mr.. Halle to the old rates.

MASSACHUSETTS NOTES.
Carried ont His Declaration.

The late Abraham Burbank of Pittsfield once
made a declaration which took him his lifetime
to carry out. In 1895, when % years old, he was
striving to support his young wife at Pittsfield
the place and large property holder, refused to
trust Burbank for a sack of flour, which greatly
Inundated the young man He told West OF his
good intentions, of his honesty and the like, and
then declared to him that he would yet own at
Pittsfed as many houses as there were days in the
year; that he would own and let many stores
as there were weeks in the year; that he would
own as many blocks as there were months in the
year; that he would own as many hotels farms,
wood yards and quarries there were days in
the week. West failed three times before his
DEATH and at that time owed Burbank $4,000. A
few years ago, after completing block at Pitts
field, Mr.. Burbank said that he did not care
whether he ever saw another sunrise. He had
accomplished his task. In three weeks he was
dead. His estate valued at S3,4lO,OOO. He
left $4,000 each to his 81 grandchildren and large
sums for a memorial hospital and other public
buildings at PittSfeld.

Saturday evening an express train struck car
rage occupied by w. II. Powers, hotel keeper at
that place and Miss Mamie Dunn Of. Orange.
Both were thrown out. Mr.. Powers had leg
broken while Miss Dunn received severe tract
ure of the skull, and other severe wounds which
make her recovery improbable. The horse was
killed and the carriage reduced to slivers. mel
ancholy coincidence of the accident is that Pow
ers's brother Edgar. was killed about month
ago a few rods from the scene Of the accident by
jumping from an express train, and Miss Brown
cousin, was killed at the same crossing about nVt
wears ago.
