rapidly last night.
It is impossible to even approximate
ly estimate the loss of life. When
darkness settled over the city last night
the widest stories were afiOat. Many
were claiming that all of so lives had
been lost and not infrequently men
were heard claiming that fully 200 had
persisted. Those wilder estimates are
unquestiOnably exaggerated. but the
eXaggeratiOns are not to be wondered
at, if the frightful incidents of the dis

THE BREEDERS MEETING OFF

1t has been decided not to hold this
year the usual summer meeting of the
Vermont association of Road and Trot-
ting Horse Breeders. The Rutland Her
aid says:
I'D. G. Brown of Brandon, secretary of
the Breeders association, was in the city
yesterday in the interests of the assOcia-
tion. Mr.. Brown said that the manage
ment had Cancelled the dates for the
Breeders meeting, and had decided not
to hold the races this year. There were
only three entries in the 2 :07 pace, the
81 900 purse, but four in the :l6 and
five in the ? ;26 trOt The secretary made
the following statement as to the reasons
why the races were not pulled off:
Early last winter, when we were
making arrangements with the Vermont
and Northern New y ork circuit, the Rut-
land dates were fixed for August 25, 2G
and 81 At that time it was anticipated
that Glens Falls would Join this circuit
and take the dates of the week previous.
Before we issued our advertising matter
Glens Falls joined the grand circuit and
was given the same dates that the Breed
ers had. ThereupOn the executive COM
mittee made arrangements with the
White River Junction people to join the

Mr., AND Mrs. EDWIN VALLETTE Sc
RIOUSLY INJURED,


The friends of Mr.. and Mrs. Edwin
Nallette, formerly of Middlebury, but
now residing near Winter Park in South
Florida, will regret to learn of a serious
accident that befell them recently. On
Sunday, May %, about / o'clock in the
morning their barn was discovered to
be on fire. None of the servants being
on the place al the time and three horses
being stabbed in the barn, Mrs. Vallette
and her husband made a courageous
effort to release them. They succeeded
in It scuing two, but in doing so were
exposed TO the flames and were very
severely burned. They were unable
from exhaustion caused by their in.
iuries to reach their dwelling house and
lay upon the ground until some of the
men came on the place two or three
hours later. Mrs. Nallette's feet were
so badly burned that it was thought at
first that they would have to be ampu-
tated, but this calamity was averted by
the doctors. Mr.. Vallette was even
more seriously injured, having been
burned on the face and hands ard on the
back to the muscles. After great suf
fering for many days he patients are
now improving, but it will be months
probably before Mrs. Valette can walk.
Considering his delicate health, Mr..
Nallette's recuperatiCn is regarded as
marvellous. Two physicians and two
trained nurses are in attendance. The
sympathies of this community, in which
the sufferers were for many years
honOred and beloved residents, goes out
to them without measure.
