walled and moated, efficient protection
no doubt in its day. The wall is almost
black and covered with moss, and the moat
Is full OF filth and weeds. The streets are
narrow and dirty. The houses for the most

Destructive Fire at South Ryegate.

A disastrous fire broke out in the busy
village of South Ryegate at an early hour
on Thursday morning. The fire first APP
peared in the basement of the livery stable
building. 1t spread rapidly, and as the vii
lage has no fire company, the bucket brig
ade was the only means Of defense.
The flames were discovered by Henry
Rollins who was up caring for his sick wife,
and saw the blaze under the livery stable.
The village was soon aroused but no efforts
could stay the flames.
The buildings destroyed are the granite
works stable, the post-oifice Fl. W. Hib-
bard's general store, A. 7. Gays jewelry
store, Charles Oakley's livery stable, the
Murphy house, the best private house in
the village, and the Ryegate granite works
office. The hotel was damaged but not
destroyed.
The fire is severe blow to the village,
but the leading citizens are bound to rise
above it, and already negotiations are in
progress for rebuilding the burned territory.
The origin OF the fire is still mystery. The
tramp, who was arrested on suspicion the
morning of the fire, was released that eve
ming, he having been able to prove that he
slept in Groton the night before the fire.
The only store left in the village is that
OF Terry George, and their business has
more than doubled in the last two days.
1t is probable that notwithstanding the
lateneSs OF the season, at least one more
general store will within few weeks be
QUILT and opened Tor business.
Miss Marion Hall, the postmistress, suf-
fered loss of about $500, with no insur-
ance. Temporary quarters for the post
office have been opened at her home.
The loss will not exceed $40, 900, and the
list Of insurance is as follows; Oakley's
stable, $500; r. G. W. stable, $500; Hib-
bard's store and contents, $1,000; Carter
house, 81 800, all in Vermont Mutual Oak
ley's stable, $500. in Union Mutual; Hib-
bard's store, 81 800, in Home OF New York;
Milliken's store, 81 900 in Phoenix of Hart
ford. A. T. Gays loss in the store OF jew
elry, ETC., was total.
Columns might be filed with stories told
the reporter Of narrow escapes from death
and OF acts Of individual heroism that will
L OF 60 unrewarded If they are unrecorded
here. The character and enterprise OF her
citizens give assurance that South Ryegate
will recover from this severe baptism OF fire,
and what now seems a calamity may, in
the end, prove blessing
