Gus to merit even a more liberal share

many respects to numbers OF the ten
cent brands now on sale. 1t il well and
carefully made, of good stock, being a
pure Havana filler, while the shape is the
latest style--it is the best cigar that can
be made for the price. Remember the
brand, "Gloriana,' and when you want
a good smoke try one.

On Monday night the town OF Bristol
had a very narrow escape from being
wiped out OF existence, or nearly so, by
fire. Sometime during the night an ex-
plosion was heard, and the discovery
made that John Mc.Allen's store on the
east side OF Main street was on fire. Par
ties rushed in and by the aid of a barrel
OF water which happened to be up stairs
for plastering purposes, succeeded iii ex-
tinguishing thcfiames. An investigation
proved the fire to be the work OF an in
cendiary, a. kerosene oil had been freely
scattered about the store, on goods,
shelving and counters. The entire stock
is completely ruined, and it is a matter
beyond the conception OF all how the
building escaped. The theory is that the
parties setting the fire had done their
work too well, had placed a quantity OF
oil in a vessel, the heat had generated
gas, which caused an explosion, extin-
guished the flames for an instant, attrac-
ted attention to the fire and made it
possible, wi h the limited means ut hand,
to put it out. Bristol people can con-
graduate themselves on their good for
tune, for had the fire broken through the
building, the wind being from the east,
it is more than probable the principal
part Of the town would o be in ashes.
Mr.. McAllen was absent at the time OF
the confiagration.. There is much indig-
nation among the citizens, and if the
guilty party can be located, Bristol il apt
to prove a very unhealthy locality for
him. No reason is ascribed for the deed,
and it is hard to ascribe a penalty too
| severe for the guilty one.
