The town of Warren was visited by a
disastrous fire Tuesday evening, by which
about $4,000 worth of property was de.
stroyed. The fire broke out among some
shavings on the ground floor of Parker d
Slayton's clapboard mill and spread rapid
iy through the building, " hich was soon
a mass of flames. In spite of the efforts
of the large number of people present
the flames spread to Parker S Slayton's
warehouse, thence to II. w. Lyford's but
ter tub factory, both of which, together
with their contents, were burned. Mr..
LyfOrd had $500 butter tubs ready for
market and these, together with guam
tty of timber, were destroyed. Parker
q Slayton's warehouse contained large
quantity of clapboards ready for market.
1t is thought portion of the machinery
In Lyford's mill can be saved, though
in a more or less damaged condition.
Neither firm carried any insurance. Ly-
fords loss is placed at between $1,000 and
S300O Parker & Slaytou's loss will
probably be not far from $4,000.

The north bound express from New
York to Montreal struck and killed a
large buck near Dorset, one day last
week. The shock stirred up the passen-
gers and nearly deraled the LOCOMOTIVES
The express does not stop at Dorset and
at the point where the accident occurred
it was running 90 miles an hour. As the
engine swung round the curve the engin-
ecr saw the deer, but not in time TO
slacken speed. The animal was forced
under the cowcatcher and was so firmly
wedged between the fire box and the ties
that it was necessary to jack the wheels
before the carcass could be taken out
What remained of the buck was carried
to Rutland, where it was turned over to
the Fish and Game club. The club pres.
ident bought pine box similar to cof-
fin, and putting the deer in it had it
buried in vacant lot south of the vii
lage. This makes the third deer that has
within the past year been killed on rail-
roads The engineers say that the noise
made by the train frightens the animals
so badly that they stand on the track un-
able to move.

a Creamery Destroyed.

The James Bros. creamery in Wey-
bridge was totally consumed by fire
yesterday morning. The day before a
fire was discovered where the chimney
passed through the roof, and was extin-
guished entirely as it was supposed.
Some smouldering spark probably re-
mained, for the fire again started at an
early hour yesterday and secured too
much headway to save the building or
any of It's contents except the firms
books. The building was insured and
will be Immediately rebuilt In the
meantime arrangements have been made
to take care of all the patrons of the
creamery.

spoke of the future that every war in
which the United States has engaged has
been in April, and that today was the
anniversary of the fall of Fort Sumter,
which aroused the patriotic fervor of the
north and made the four years of civil
strife certainty. The resolutions adopt
ed direct the president to intervene at
once in Cuba to restore peace and secure
for the island "a stable and independent
government of their own," and authoriZ-
cd him to use the army and navy to eX-
ecute the purpose of the resolutions.
Although only 10 members, - demo-
Gratis, three republicans and two pOpu-
lists, dissented upon the final vote, the
proceedings were marred by bitter and
acrimonious display of partisan feeling.
During the height of the excitement
there was collision between Mr..
Brumm, republican, of Pennsylvania,
and Mr.. Bartlett, democrat, Of Georgia,
so disgraceful that it almost rose to
the level of a free fight. Order was fin
ally restored and later the two members
found that the alteration had arisen out
of misunderstanding, upon which there
we're the usual apologies. Later in the
proceedings the speaker was obliged to
call upon the sergeant at arms with his
silver mace, the emblem of the house au-
thOrity. to seat Mr.. johnson of Indiana,
who was Indignantly demonstrating at
what he termed the unnecessary war
into which the country was being
plunged"
Only 10 minutes were given for debate,
and a special rule was required to get
the resolutions before the house. The
minority resolutions declare for the rec
ognitiou of the existing government of
the insurgents and were voted down, HI
to 100, but they secured the votes of
three republicans. Some stirring and
patriotic sentiments were voiced In de-
bate and lifted the galleries and the
members to high pitch Of excitement.
Mr.. Adams of Pennsylvania, chairman of
the foreign affairs committee, and Mr..
DinsmOre of Arkansas were the only
members who had an opportunity to
speak directly on the resolution, but Gen.
Henderson of Iowa, Mr. Bailey of Texas
and Mr.. McMillen of Tennessee each
made speeches upon the special order.
After a brief preliminary session Chair
man Adams of the house foreign affairs
committee submitted the majority report
on Cuban matters, embodying the fol-
lowing resolution:
Resolved by the senate and house of repre-
sentatives of the United States of America in
congress assembled, That the president is
h reby authorized ana directed to intervene
at once to stop the war in Cuba to the end
and with the purpose OF securing permanent
peace and order there, and thereupon by the
free action of the people there OF "A stable and
Independent government of their own on tn
island of Cuba, and the president IS hereby
au horized and empOwe red to use the land
and naval forces of the United States TO exc
cute the purpose of this resolution.
The senate will vote Friday afternoon
on its resolutions. AS later arranged.

The president of the Vermont Life In
surauce company said in a recent inter-
view: referring to war risks, the
policies Of this company provide that
within the first two years after issue the
Insured shall not engage in the militia in
actual service without first obtaining the
written permission of the company and
paying any extra premium which may be
charged therefor. After this period the
Insurance is in full force, whether the
Insured engages i'm the service of the
militia or not, and a permit will not be
required. Not long since i'm view of the
war agitation. and the number of in
quirics we had in our mail, search was
made over our records to ascertain how
many policy holders we had who were
now in the naval service or in the United
states army. 1t was found that we had
but one policy on the life of a surgeon
for $1,000 in the United Stares navy"
with Apologies to u. +. MacCarthy.
