About II o'clock last night the house
In the village OF Washington owned by
the Washington Mills Company, and
occupied by Frederick Brown, q brake
man on the New York & New England

an alarm was Immediately raised. In
most Of the valley villages there is a

the fire in the old-rashioned way with

comes handy In the yard of the mill
there is q hydrant which las been re-
garded with disirust by the old-timers,

was hitched on to the pipe and the
water turned on and after q short but

but not until one end OF the building
had nearly been destroyed. Mr. Brown
succeeded with the help of his nei hbors

no more possibility than probability of
any nation on this earth enacting that
sixteen ounces of silver shall equal one

when the real commercial value of six

of gold. Free silver coinage means
that the blodted owners of silver mines
can take fifty cents worth of silver to
