Central Hall Block and Other Buildings
 Burned. Total Loss of $5O,OOO.
 Soon after midnight of Sunday last fire broke out in the central hall block, one of Monson's best business buildings, and destroyed that, also the engine house, and the shop of c. J. Leary, timer and plumber. By the help of Palmer's fire apparatus, the fire was confined to these buildings, though the fine residence of s. F. Cushman, IT,, across the street, was badly damaged by heat, and the straw shops of Heimann & Lichten were much endangered. Much damage was also done to monuments in small cemetery close to the burned building. The fire apparently started in the store of J. Sim ons, clothier, whose loss is $5,0O0. 9th CT occupants of the building were G. l.. Keeney, druggist, loss $5,000; Norcross | Brothers, general merchants, loss $7 ,000; | hn yuh saved. The second floor was occupied | by J. s. O'Brien as tenement, Conley, a tailor, the Windsor club rooms, and the room of the Father Mathew Temperance l Society. Mr. and Mrs. O'Brien were just able to get out with their lives, and lost their furniture, clothing and $27 in mon- ey Mr. O'Brien had but $400 insurance. | Conley lost his entire stock, and had no | insurance. The Windsor club lost their furniture, including pool and billiard ta- | bles, pictures, etc., and had $500 insur- ance. The Father Mathew Temperance Society lost it's paraphernalia and carried | S2OO insurance Central hall was on the upper floor, and was furnished with set tees, 8 piano and other things necessary for entertainment and lectures. On Hei- mann & Lichten's boarding house block, badly damaged, there was $4 ,000 insur- ance, and the loss will not be far from $450O. The building owned and occupied by C. J. Leary was worth, including stock, about $3500. Hardly anything was saved, and the insurance is $1250 on the stock and $500 on the building. The engine house owned by the town was worth $500, and was not insured. The I contents were saved.
 . There are several theories regarding the cause of fire. The block was lighted by gasolene, and it is probable that ill some way the liquid escaped from the l pipe, and was ignited.
