was occupied 4en hours after the fire
started by Hennegan & Daley as a sa-
loon. While the fire was in progress
Saturday morning. Colonel tom"
Campbell agent of the Schmulbach
Brewing Company, made. n bet that he
could have a building up and the own
ers selling in 1t before five o'clock THAI
evening. The bet Was taken before the
walls of HennegaD& Daley's old build
ing had fallen and as soon as possible
Campbell had four or five teams there
pulling away the burning debris nnd
hauling lumber to build the new struc-
ture. Work on the new structure,
which is 2Ox32 feet, was commenced a
few minutes after 10 o'clock in the
morning and by 4 O'Clock In the after
noon the owners were doing business in
1t.
The cut which accompanies this ar
ticle is photograph OF the building
and of the ruins Of the FIRE. Where the
present building stands the Opera
House drug store Of Drummond & Com
pany stood before the fire; south of the
building on the corner the saloon of
Eennegan & Daley and the reSta urant
of George Gardiner stood; north Of the
building and next to It stood the. Bijou
fine store rooms, one Of which had been
occupied only a day by gentleman
from New York North Of the opera
house was the store Of the Baltimore
Clothing Company, and next 70 it was 9
small restaurant. The little restaurant
which Is only five feet wide andstwelVe
feet long, is what saved the entire
block from being burned. Fad there
been large building there the firemen
could not have stopped the flames.
This is the second time the buildings
in the block pictured have burned, and
both times the fire started in a resCaur-
ant and from gas jet II is not likely
that there will be another fire on that
corner for some time, as meeting of

AFrI.ndIx Word to cyclI.ts.

Wheeling cyclists do not need tobetold
that the Intelllgencer is their friend. It
Is as their friend that the Intelligencer
speaks to them. There is riding on thc
crowded thoroughfares Of the city that
is dangerous in the highest degree. dan
gerous to the riders, dangerous to
drivers, dangerous to persons crossing.
Fast riding at night is especially dam
gerous. The wheel comes bowling aionG
like shot out Of a cntapult. The ring
ing of the little bell Is hardly signal
enough. The rate OF Upced should be
moderate and at all times not greater
than is CONSTANT with safety.
Even this Is not enough. No wheel
should be permitted on the street after
dark without a lantern. Then a pedes-
TRAN by looking up and down the street
may see whether he may cross in safety.
Unless wheelmen moderate their speed
voluntarily the council will moderate 1t
for them; and unless they provide
themselves with lanterns the council
will order them to use lanterns or VIII
drive them Off the streets at night. In
this the council will have the approval
of public opinion. Lanterns are cheap
enough in this day. very much cheaper
than life.
Cycling is so wholesome diversion
and so deserving of encouragement that
those who indulge in 1t should do moth
ing to bring It into dIsrepute and every
thing to retain for 1t the good opinion of
fair-minded people.

When the Republican party came to
frame the tariff act known as the Nc
Klnley law It resolved to give the con-
sumer the benefit OF sugar admitted
into this country free of duty, anu to
compensate the sugar grower for the
removal of the duty its granted him a
bounty on his product. The bounty
proved so satisfactory to sugar pro-
ducers that it increased largely the
quantity of sugar made in tine United
States.
This was true of beet sugar end cane
sugar alike. So that we were fairly on
the road to produce in this country
enough sugar to meet the wants Of our
own people. This the Republican party
thought a good thing. When the Demo-
cratic party got in it had another and
quite different thought. 1t stood in
with the odlous sugar trust. 1t put
sugar On the dutiable list and knocked
in the head the bounty to the American
producer But Congress appropriated
money to pay the bounty already earn
ed. This in common justice it was
bound to do.
Then the country discovered that
there was such a man as Bowler. an
Ohio man whom President Cleveland
had made comptroller OF the treasury.
Bowler was not satisfied to control the
treasury. He tried his hand at controll-
ing the Congress of>the United States.
He refused to allow the bounty to be
paid to the sugar growers, who found
themselves in straits.
They had relied on the faith Of the
government, made large outlays for in
creased production. in short had done
Just what the Republican Congress had
tried to stimulate them tn do They
had earned the money and a Democratic
Congress, although resolved that they
should earn no more, appropriated the
money to pay what was coming to them.
Bowler for the moment bigger than, any
Congress, put the sugar growers TO the
strain of delay and the cost OF prosecut-
ing their suit,
Now the supreme. court Of the United
states writes Bowler down meddle-
some ass. 1t decides that Congress was
within its authority when 1t appropria-
ted the bounty money. and therefore 1t
must be paid, 1t has always been be-
lieved that Bowler was coached by

The fight for half day holiday on
Saturday through the hot months of
June, July and August has been won;
and the Intelllgencer has special reason
to rejoice. Realizing that 1t would be a
good thing for the employer and en-
ploye the Intelllgencer espoused the
good caus and left nothing undone
that promised to contribute to a suc--
cessful issue.
Before the new order has been long In
operation It will be apparent to every
body that Wheeling has gained some
thing. II the employees of our business
housee do not show their appreciation
by doing as much good work in a week
as they have ever done, the IntellIgencer
will be surprised and viii admit that 1t
was mistaken in the men 1t spoke for.
But there will be no disappointment
on this score. The men who walk out on
Saturday to enjoy their half holiday will
return on Monday morning refreshed
and determined to accomplish In five
and a. half days quite MS much as they
ever did in six whole hot days.
Employers. too, will get a breathing
smell, have clearerheadsn take firmer
grip ON business. In short the lntclli-
gencer looks to see the new departure
work 50 well that hereafter nobody will
think Of returning to the old way.

A Good Citizen Going.

This entire community will learn with
deep regret that Mr.. and Mrs. A. j.
Holley intend leaving Bellows Falls early
in the spring. Mr. Holley has resigned
his position as book-keeper and cashier for
the Vermont Farm Machine company to
take effect April /, and is now considering
several advantageous offers from outside
parties.
Mr.. Holley came here Is years ago and
began work as assistant book-keeper for
the company he is now with. Since becom-
ing citizen Of this town both Mr.. and
Mrs. Holley have been prominent in
church and social circles. Mr.. Holley is
at present treasurer of the Congregational
church society, master Of the Lodge OF the
Temple, governor of the Pilgrim Fathers
and member of Beauseant commandery
Of Bratteboro. Mrs. Holley is a charm
ing lady socially and an artist of no mean
reputation. Bellows Falls can i'll afford to
lose SO good citizens.

The Vermont Farm Machine company
have just issued a new pamphlet with the
above title, in which there is valuable
material for anyone interested in good
buildings and equipments of this nature at
moderate prices. 1t is a book of so well
printed pages accompanied by several full
page half tones OF creameries in Vermont
and other states with diagrams and data
valuable to those constructing these build
ings. The company furnishes large draw
ings of many of these creameFies free OF
charge to anyone purchasing apparatus OF
them. This book will be sent to interested
parties by the Vermont Farm Machine
company upon receipt of 10 cents in
stamps.

"A Contented Woman"

This play given here Monday evening,
drew the largest house that ever congre-
gated in the Opera house., there being
between 100 and 1900 present As
the seating capacity is less than 1000 many
had to stand. There were 500 tickets sold
at 8 800 at IS cents and over 100 at so
cents, making about 1925 house. Delega-
tons came from all the surrounding towns
60 from Springfield, 20 from Claremont,
60 from Chester, 80 from Charlestown and
100 from keene.
A word regarding the merits Of the en-
tertainment. Is it a great play9 No. Is
it entertaining? Yes. Was the acting of
superior order9 No. Was it clever?
Yes, at times. The plot is so overdrawn
that it should, perhaps, be classed as a
burlesque, at least as extravagant comedy.
1t goes without saying that the audience
was pleased, well pleased, for no audience
can witness one of Mr.. Hoyt's plays with
any other sentiment Several of the players

The musical features were much enjoyed
while the dancing by the Hengler sisters
was perhaps as fine as ever seen. They are
artists who have mastered their art.
The great attraction, and what had no
small influence in drawing the unusually
large house, was the announcement that
Caroline Miskel Hoyt would take the role
of leading lady. This actress, famous for
her beauty, had never before appeared on
the stage of Bellows Falls and the desire to
see her was intense and general Expec-
tation ran riot, but none were disappointed.
All agreed that the half had not been told
regarding her beauty and grace. She is
not great actress, but has no difficulty in
winning the enthusiastic attention and adj
miration of the entire house. Her quail
ties and gifts are admirably adapted to the
part she plays.

Electric Road to Saxtons River.

An associated press dispatch from Bel
lows Falls says present indications are that
the Bellows Falls and Saxtons River cleo
trio railroad will be built early in the
spring. A quiet canvass for the capital
stock made last week shows the readiness
of business men to take it. The charter
granted by the Legislature in 1892 has been
dormant till now. Outside capitalists are
ready to take half or all, but the feeling Of
the incorporators is that it should be con-
trolled here. Pledges already made assure
its immediate construction. The distance
is five miles, besides streets and loops here.
