FIRE IN BROWNS BLOCK.

Fire was discovered in the third
story Of E. F. Browns block at l
O'Clock Friday morning and before
the flames could be extinguished
Photographer Kellogg's studio was
almost ruined and the other floors
suffered badly by water. The cause
of the fire is unknown. 1t was dis
covered by Henry Beck and Dick
Sargent, who were driving by. The
firemen responded quickly and their
gallant and heroic efforts saved the
block and probably all the adjoining
property. Mr.. Kellogg is the
heaviest loser, but the insurance
companies have settled with him
satisfactorily. The Azte-Zone Com
pany loses about $500 worth of
goods and chemicals, with no in
surance. Fred Lacasse and his
family lived on the second floor and
their loss was a heavy one as there
was no insurance. The friends have
raised $1OO to help Mr.. Lacasse and
he desires to thank them most
heartily through the columns OF the
CALIFORNIAN. John B. Tousant and
Will Bowman, who occupied rooms
on the second floor, were insured.
The goods of F. N. Brown and the
fixtures and sewing machines OF A,
M. Goodrich were damaged by
water, but both will get satisfactory
insurance. Fireman George Round
was injured, some glass having
entered his eye. He is now drawing
So a week from the funds OF the
Caledonia Firemen's Relief Associa-
ton, being the first member to draw
from this fund. Mr.. Brown will re-
build the upper story with a nat
roof and Mr.. Kellogg will occupy his
old studio as soon as it is fitted up

INSURANCE COMPANY FAILS.

The American Casualty Insurance
and Security Company of New York
have gone to the wall, having lost
81 100000 in the last four years.
This company did general accident
business, insured steam and street
railways against accidents and also
took insurance on steam boilers. P.
D. Blodgett & Co. were the local
agents for this company and had in
sured quite number of boilers in
this vicinity, and also issued accident
policies to St. Johnsbury people. A
member of the firm went to Boston
last week to secure other companies,
aud all who carried policies in the
Casualty Company will have their
policies transferred to other COM
panies at once.

come incorporated. An informal
discussion was held, after which
committee of three were appointed
to draft bylaws, consisting c. S.
Hastings, E. H. Blossom and H. ].
Goodrich. The next meeting will be
held next Monday night, when the
committee will report. All interested
in the project are cordially invited to

AN EARTHQUAKE SHOCK.

What does this mean?" was a
question that sprang into the minds
of many of our readers about noon
of Monday, when a decided earth
quake shock was felt in this section.
The tremor lasted for from about
ten seconds, and was sufficient to
make buildings tremble perceptibly
to the occupants. In some cases the
rafting of door and windows was
quite marked, and the sensation to
one who recognized the first jar and
waited for the last was far from
agreeable. In the CALIFORNIAN office
the machinery had for the time being
motion that was not impaired by
the steam plant, and the swinging
rods supporting the incandescent
lights vibrated for minute after the
shock.
Not little excitement was caused
at the Union school buildings by the
tremor, which children and teachers
plainly felt.
1t was the most extensive touch
of earthquake experienced here
abouts for many years-or since
about 1870, but fortunately the
shock was of short duration.
The shock was felt generally
throughout the state, as indicated
by associated press dispatches, and
a good deal of alarm was created in
some sections.

A MUNIFICENT GIFT,

E. & T. Fairbanks & Co. have dis
tributed 412 fine turkeys among
their employees, each man who had
a family receiving one. The men
were greatly pleased with this unex-
pected gift and will have happier
Thanksgiving on this account. AS
the scale works have run on short
time the past few months this gift
from the corporation is doubly well
come. The turkeys were secured by

one man contributing 800 and an
other 100. The last time the cor
poration made Thanksgiving
present to eheir employees was II
years ago and Mr.. Spencer helped
distribute the turkeys then.

PLEASURES CALENDAR.
X. l.. Cumnock, Reader.


St. Johnsbury people delight in
good readings, and the next entertain
ment in the Y. M. c. A. course will
be something to please their fancy in
that respect. Prof. r. L. Cumnock.
who appears here Friday evening,
Dec. 8, is an elocutionist of high
rank, and will present an agreeable
variety to our people. He appears
in Providence and other large cities
of the East this season. The New
Haven Journal-Courier made this
criticism "Prof. Cumnock has 6ue
presence, a rich melodious voice, and
is certainly an elegant reader. His
selections were pleasing, laughable
and pathetic, and his impersona-
tions of English, Scotch, Irish,
French and Roman character were
faithful and natural" Admission 25
and 35 cents. Tickets at Bingham's.
English GIee Club Concert.
The entertainment in the course by
the English Glee Club of New York,
on Friday evening last, was very
much enjoyed by majority of those
present. Miss Boxall's performances
on the harp were especially appre-
ciated, as she did her work in good
taste and with the touch of an
artist. The quartette sing well
together and their rendering of old
English glees and madrigals was
pleasant variation from the more
strictly "classic" concert.
In the solo parts of the programme
Mrs. Irving's rich contralto gave the
audience much pleasure, and Mr..
Phillips tenor was also appreciated.
A pleasing entertainment was
given under the auspices Of the
Christian Endeavor Society at the
North church parlors Tuesday even.

Standish, illustrated with tableaux

AT THE EAST VILLAGE.

The concert at the Congregational
church. for the benefit of the reading
room, is pronounced by all splen
did success. Mrs. p. F. Hazen of st.
Johnsbury, whose sweet, rich voice is
well known, rendered with fine effect
many of the old ballads dear to us
all. The songs and readings by home
talent were a most attractive feature
of the entertainment. We are proud
of our own singers and readers. AT.
ter the concert very pleasant recep-
tion by the directors of the reading
room was held among the papers
and magazines, which, with coffee,
cake, Russian tea and conversation,
added to the attractions of the
evening.

COLUMBIAN STAMPS.

The Columbian series of postage
stamps have not been favorably re-
ceived by the business men and
millions of them will be left over at
the end of the year. To hasten the
sale of these stamps the postmaster
general has notified all the post
masters that none but Columbian
stamps will be sold hereafter until
they are all used up. Heretofore
purchasers of stamps could buy
either the small or large series. The
Columbian stamps will therefore be
used through the early months Of
next year. Many people are saving
all these stamps and high prices are
paid for the higher values.
