There are already indications Of d
lively fight over the minor state Of
fices this year.
Four years AGO a movement was
started to displaee the men Who had
served the State faithfully for several
years. Nothing was said then against
their character or official work The
only reason for change was that
there should be rotation in office; that
other men could ion these important
Offices just as well and should have the
honor and pay apperlaining to them,
It was cmphatically stated that four
years was as long as any man should
hold a State office The Republican
convention by decisive vote endorsed
this doctrine, and all but one Of the
minor state officials were replaced by
new men.
The four ycals are ended. Yet
those who shouted 50 loudly for
change ar, as silent as the grave Be
ing in, they want to stay in, of course.
There are others who want TO occu-
py their places, and as the experiment
OF four years ago did not, apparently,
injurc the State, it is probable another

Sept 18th last, the jMaplewood, which
had come to be a favOrite and popular re-
sort, burned to the g-ound. The build
ings were insured for IS, 500, and the per
sonal property for 400, and the insdr-
ance was divided in three com panies. On
Sept. 26th, representatives Of the compa-
nies adjusted the loss, allowing the full
insurance on the buildings and about
8 500 on the personal property. In about
four weeks, three other persons appeared
on the scene and informed MIR. Stone, the
owner of the MapleWood property, that
they represented the three insurance COM
panies, that the former adjusters were in
capable and inefficient, and that they had
come to readiust. Mr.. Stone objected and
insisted that the adjustment was made by
competent men and that it ought to
stand; but they claimed that they had the
right to readjust, and Mr.. Stone finally
talked over his loss somewhat with them
and offered TO make some deduction for
immediate settlement, as he had then pro-
cured plans for rebuilding, and if he
could commence then, he could rebuild
and be ready for the summer trade, but
they failed to agree. Although frequent
attempts to reach a settlement have been
made by Mr.. Stone, and although he has
been compelled to expend considerable
money to repel false insinuations that
have been made against him, yet no set
Element could be reached until the 9Th
inst The insurance is settled now, and
Mr.. Stone has his money, although he
was compelled TO make a reduction or
have three lawsuits with three rich COM
panies, which he was not able to do, and
they knew it.

the spring OF 1889 and opened II for board.
ers that summer. His business steadily
increased, and his guests were of the best
families in their respective communities.
Many came here froml Boston and its sub
urbs, where Mr.. Stone had formerly
lived, showing their high appreciation OF
Mr. Stone and family as well as of the beau
titul scenery and bracing air of Randolph
Mr.. Stone and his family are highly re-
spected throughout this and adjoining
towns as far as they are known. The peo-
pie have deeply sympathized with MIR.
Stone in his misfortune and are glad that
he has finally reached a settlement with
the insurance companies, although they
regret that he did not receive what they
believe that he was entitled to, and re-
ceive il in time to have rebuilt in sea-
son for this summers custom. Many
people in different parts of the State and
especially the people without distinction
in town hope that Mr.. Stone will rebuild;
for they know that the work that he has
done here has been an honor TO the State
and town, and il is hoped that he NAV re.
