DESTRUCTIVE FIRE.-A most disas-
trous cOnfag ration occurred here early
Sunday morning. resulting in the total
destruction of two-stOry block of frame
buildings, on the South side of Mrs
Belle TaylOr's residence, and East of the
Public Square The buildings destroyed
were as follows The residence of
Caleb Corrington; the old town hall, oc-
cupied by the Masonic (Amity) Lodge,
nd the residence store of Miss Sallie
Barnett-the latter two buildings being
owned by the Masons The fire Origi-
mated about four clock in the roof of
NJ &C rrington's residence, from some
u known cause, presumably defect
i fue. The only insurance on any of
the uilding was 81 300 on Mr. Corning
ton s residence-no insurance on con-
tents which were badly damaged. The
Mas ons only saved a portion of their
paraphernalia. and among other articles
sa, ed was their charter bearing date of
1917, and splendid picture of
Hiram Bassett, deceased. Miss Bar
ett's household effects and stock of
millinery were mostly saved. On ac-
count of the scarcity of water the fire
company could only confine the fire to
the doomed block. All the buildings
destroyed were very old ones, having
been built more than half century
ago. Miss Barnett has taken up a
temporary residence in the house ad-
joining Mrs Mary Vimont's, and Mr.
Corrington and family secured quarters
at the Fleming House.
