A Town Burned.

All the business portion Of Berlin,
Worcester county, Nd, together with
many residences, was completely de-
stroyed by fire Sunday night. The
total number of houses burned was
about seventy-fve, the loss $4,000,
and the insurance about $4,000. The
fire originated in the stables owned by
G. w. Henry, presumably from a spark
from a cigar. Very few persons were
in town at the time, owing to large
camp meeting in the vicinity, so the
bucket brigade that was formed was
very ineffective. The flames soon
spread towards the east and south,
consuming the stables of the Atlantic
Hotel, the Atlantic Hotel itself, and
the Savages Hotel. About twenty
residences were burned, the occupants
of which were found wandering about
the streets or sleeping upon mattresses
under trees. The total area burned
was about six acres. Only three
stores were left standing The fire
started at $50, and ragged till after
midnight The hand fire engine was
burned in the street.
