A Fire Aysrted at ST. Adams.

Friday afternoon, st. Adams barely
escaped another disastrous fire. Henry
Mossey, plumber in the employ OF
S. C. Greene, was lighting tinman's
tire-pot in Greene's workshop, when
the fire kicked back and set fire to
Mossey's frock. Mossey ran out the
back door, where Greene's team stood,
in which was a barrel of gasoline
which was being siphoncd into an adj
jacent tank; the flames from Mossey
communicated to the vapors from the
barrel, which caused an explosion and
showered the blazing fluid all over
Mossey, who ran shouting back into
the shop and was caught by the other
workmen and his clothes stripped
from him, but not until he was fear
fully burned about his legs, arms, face
and back, his finger nails dropping
out and the skin and flesh peeling of
in great shreds.
The horse attached to the wagon
containing the blazing barrel became
frightened and started on gallop
through the alleyway back Of the
stores occupied by A. F. Lane, A. ).
Hyde, Macleod & Co., Clark n Hatch
and Stevens Il Co, scattering the gas
oline right and left.
In the rear OF Stevens u Co.'s store
stood six barrels of gasoline, which
caught fire from the wagon, which
was a mass of flames, and in an in
slant there was a lively blaze on. For
tunately the fire department was
promptly on hand and before the bar
rels burned enough to explode, the
fire was quenched. The horse was
caught as it turned up Kingman street,
the harness was cut and it was re-
leased without injury.
Had the barrels on fire in the real
of Stevens exploded, the blocks con
tanning the firms above mentioned
and the new block of the Curtis-Pierct
estate would have been in great can
ger Of going.
1t is thought that Mossey will re-
cover, but in another minute, II ne
had not been caught, his burns wolllo
have proved fatal.

Milton Rogers, five years old, was
abandoned in the Continental Hotel,
New York, on Monday OF last week.
He was left there by a well-dressed
man, who hired room and went
away Immediately after, leaving the
boy. The child was taken to the
rooms Of the Children's society, where
he said his father told him that he
would whip him If he talked.
1t was impossible to find out just
where he came from. Inside of a hat
that he wore was the label Of Tuxbury
Il Sons, Windsor, Vt. Later it was
learned that the lad was waif from
Mrs. Caroline Rogers of Norwich,
Conn.,, now Mrs. Gilbert Shepard Of
Hartland, vt. Mrs. Shepard, who
was formerly Of Woodstock. Conn.
says that she took the boy when IL
months old and she never knew who
was his father or mother. When she
came to Hartland last March, she
brought the child with her and kept
him until last Saturday, when her son,
Charles Rogers, and her daughter,
Mrs. Fannie 7. Virgins of Norwich,
Conn.,, who had been at Hartland, VT,
on visit, returned to Norwich, Conn.,,
and took the boy with them. On Sun
day, Charles Rogers was to leave Nor

with the boy to be taken to George
Rogers in New York, who was to get
him home in some house in New

the boy was not his son but had beer
adopted by his first wife, who is now
dead. After her death, he placed the
child under the care of his wife;
mother, who lives in Hartland, VT, he
paying his board.
He asserts that he was no longer
abe to support the boy and resolved
to get rid of him. The existence Of
the child was not known to his present
wife.
| Rogers was committed to Jail for II
days by Justice Stillwell to give the
detectives an opportunity to procure

Vermont's Noted Artist Unveils His
Valuable Collection ut Montpelier.

Under the most suspicious circum-
stances the Thomas w. Wood art gal
lery was dedicated in the presence Of
a large number Of people last Thurs
day evening. The rooms OF the Young
Mems Christian association and of the
public library were very beautifully
and deliberately adorned with palms,
cut flowers and evergreens. Mr.. Wood
made brief address touching upon
the subjects Of the public library, i.
NJ. C. A. and the art gallery. This
was responded to by Hon. James X.
Langdon, president of the board OF
trustees. The pictures were then I'M
yelled.
The pictures were placed in the Y.

pelier as follows:
President, James r. Langdon

yate collection, secured only after years
Of patient effort, and is probably the

FAIR VERMONT.



Boston Journal.
The largest private estate in the
United States, if not in the world, is
that OF Dr.. Seward W. Webb, the
millionaire president of the Wagner
Car company, at Shelburne, VT, on
the shores OF Lake Champlain. The
property consists Of more than 1000
acres of beautiful rolling land, bor-
dering on the lake. There DR.. Webb
maintains one Of the most magnificent
establishments on the continent-Shel-
burne house-where he resides the
greater part Of the year and enter
tains in royal style. He has stable
Of blooded horses, keeps herd Of
thoroughbred cattle and sports fleet
of yachts on the lake. He can enter
tain his friends-and there are always
visitors at Shelburne Farms with
racing, yachting, hunting or fishing,
all of which sports he enjoys himself.
Vermontcrs are naturally proud OF
the fact that Americas greatest trav-
clcr, after visiting nearly every coun-
try on the face of the globe, should
choose their beautiful state for per-
manent home.
To newspaper reviewers few days
ago. DR.. Webb gave his reasons for
settling in Vermont and becoming a
citizen Of that picturesque common
wealth. 'In the first place." he said,
81 found the weather cool and pleas
ant in summer, with a remarkably
even temperature, due to the proxim-
lily Of Lake Champlain, while the
picturesque beauties of that historic
body of water and the perennial green
OF the hills and meadows are never
failing source of pleasure. Here one
can lead an ideal summer existence,
far from the heat and noise of the
city, yet near enough to be in daily
touch with all that transpires.. In ad-
dition to its advantages as a place OF
summer residence, Vermont is no less
agreeable in winter time-its crisp,
bracing atmosphere, and its good old.
fashioned ice and snow, which afford
opportunities for royal winter sports,
constituting by no means the least Of
| its attractions. But above all charms
of climate and scenery | place the
patriotism and strong national feel.
| ing which springs forever fresh and
pure in the hearts Of Vermont citi-
zens, SO that there is no state in the
union where the glorious traditions OF
the past are kept alive or have greater
influence upon the present than in the
grand old Green Mountain State"
