Loss Placed at $65,O00


BURLINGTON, VT, June 4-The Sabbath
quiet of this city was disturbed by fire
alarm yesterday. which was sounded
shortly after noon for blaze in Brodie's
block on Church street.

fought one of the most stubborn fires this
city has suffered in long time. The en-
tire block, four-story structure, was
Quilted, and of the contents practically
nothing was saved.
The total loss is placed at $65, 900. with
the total insurance $4,000. The block is
owned by Kelsey & Brodie, was worth
sec, 900, and was insured for $4,000.

would undou btedly have suffered heavy
loss There is no theory as to the origin
of the fire.

FIRE AT LACONIA.
Car Works and Iron Foundry
Nearly Destroyed.
The Loss VIII Reach 500, OOO-Over
$50 workmen Will Be Thrown Out of
Employment. .=e.ss

| LACoN1A, N. H., June 4.-Fire was dis
covered in the passenger finishing build
ing of the Laconia Car company yester-
day morning at 8 o'clock, and in less
than two hours the company has sus-
tained loss estimated at 100000 two
acres of ground having been burned over.
The company's loss includes three large
buildings in the passenger department,
their entire maleable iron foundry plant,
with patterns, ETC.; also two small dwell
ing houses.
Considerable damage was done to a
large tenement building and other shops,
and several passenger coaches and elec-
trio street cars in the process of construc-
tion and nearly completed were burned.
General Manager Pearley Putnam esti-
mates the value of the property destroyed
at $75, 900, on which was an insurance of
$49, 500. A large refrigerator building and
Office, owned by the Swift Beef company,
is total loss. with contents valued at
$40, 900 and insured for $500.
three-story tenement, owned by Or
vile A. Atkinson of Boston, is also
total loss; value estimated at S4500; in
sured for about $4,000 in Massachusetts,
The fire started in the paint shop at the
car works There are indications of in
cendiarism, as the watchman inspected
the building just previous to the discov-
cry of the flames. Manager Putnam states
that the car works and foundry will be
rebuilt at once.
The fire was the most disastrous that
Laconia has experienced in years. Only
the fact that heavy showers drenched ad-
joining buildings saved the city from a
general confagration. ..
Concord to the Rescue.
Chief Engineer George A. Sanders, find
ing the fire spreading beyond control,
telephoned to the city of Concord for aid.
A steamer and hose carriage with 30 men,
Chief Davis and Assistant Engineer
Brown came on special train. making
the run of 2S miles in 35 minutes. The
south-bound Canadian express was held
here to keep the line clear.
The Concord firemen were not needed,
however, as the flames were under con-
troll when they arrived. In addition to
the losses already reported, scores of
workmen in the carshops lost valuable
kits of tools, the individual losses in some
cases running as high as 5000, on which
there.was no insurance.
Nearly all of the furniture and house
hold goods in the Atkinson tenement
block were consumed, as the fire spread

move the goods, which were not insured

The most serious blow is the destruction
of the malleable iron foundry, which was

structure has been erected over the large
ovens, and the whole available force were
put to work today to clear the debris.
