Stocks Quotations Are Fairly Well
Maintained In the Pit
Business was fairly good during the
call of the exchange yesterday, and pre-
vious quotations were well main
tanned.
In the listed stocks but little was done
until Geyser- Marion was reached. and
this security was quite active at grad
ually advancing figures. Mammoth was
slow in the bidding, although strong
in the offerings. Mercur advanced
somewhat in the bidding. and was firm
~ held, while Northern Light disclosed
considerable activity, and was a favor
tie at near the quotations of the pre-
vious call. No change in Sacramento
was noticeable. while Utah closed a
point higher than on Saturday last.
Chloride Point headed the unlisted
securities, and transfers were made at
63 cents. Swansea and South Swansea
were popular and held up well, but
were inactive in the way of transfers.
Dexter attracted considerable atten-
ton, but buyer and seller were unable
to get together. Grand Central chang
ed hands at 81, and closed rather weak
in the bidding. Dalton was firm, but
did not figure in the business of the
day.
The transactions of the call were as
follows:

VERMONT NEWS.
Flre at Burlington.

One of the most destructive fires in the
history of Burlington occurred early
Saturday morning, resulting in the de.
struction OF the Shepard & Morse plan
ing mill. several houses. eleven million
iett oil lumber valued at $175,00 and a
number OF cars. One hundred men are
thrown out OF employment. The total
loss is about $230,000, well covered by
insurance.
Not so very many years ago the waters
OF Lake Champlain rolled over the site of
the Shepard & Morse MILL and indeed
over the entire lumber district. As the
lumber business I Burlington grew and
expanded the lake was gradually filled
in, until the shore became what we see
today. On the Shepard & Morse site.
the Ballard brothers put up a saw mill
about 40 years ago. This was burned
to the ground about 1860. and
it was succet ded almost Immediately by
the panlng mill just burned which was
erected by that public spirited, generous
and broad minded man to whom Bur-
lington owes so much-tbe late Lawrence
Barnes.
Mr.. Barnes was succeeded in the lum.
Der busin, SIS by Shepard & Davis, after
ward the Shepard & Morse company,
and the mill was used by them up to the
moment of it's destruct ton, though the
real estate was sold to the Central YER
mont railroad company several years
ago. The Central bought the property
for the sake Of the land. and there is no
proba bility that the mill will be rebuilt.
1t suffered considerably by the FIRE some
years ago which destroyed the adjacent
building Of TAFT & Morgan. In its
palmy days, and in the palmy days of
Burlington's lumber busin, IS. it was
rckoned the largest mill OF the kind in
the world, having capacity OF 100000
leet OF lumber per dav OF "a hours.
BurIngton's Big Fires.
Burlngton's first big fire OF which
present Burlingi onians have memory
was in 1858. just 40 years ago, when the
original Pioneer shops 1.-THE site of which
is now occupied by X. Booths big
plant) were completely destroyed, in
volving loss that was very large for
those days. The shops had been built
by the citizens OF Burlington for the pur-
pose OF extending he city's manufacture
ing interests; and they were rebuilt large
ly through the ,fforts OF the same enter
prising man to whom the city lalerowe
the Shepard & Morse mil!-Lawrence
Barnes.
The next big fire was ia the fall of
1869 when the old Lake house and
Noye's block, on Battery street, opposite
the stone store, were destroyed and two
or three lives were lost.
Almost exactly four wears ago, Dec. "a,
1894 at 10 80 p. m, fire on the premises
OF X. Booth and the Vermont Shade
Roller company did damage to the
amount OF $4,000
March 10. 1895 early in the morning.
j.. X Booths entire plant was destroyed,
involving loss OF 5000 600, with insur-
ance OF SIPS 600.

In some portions of Germany the
kirmess, or church mass formerly
danced in honor Of the dedication of a
church, isnow observed with the special
character of harvest home. 1t marks
the close of the year labors and is cele-
brated by three days Of music, feasting
and dancing with partners chosen or al
lotted, according to degrees of comeli.
ness, at the preceding May festival.
In southern Germany the end Of the
harvest is marked by the sickle feast.
The last sheaf is carried in triumph to
the barn and placed on the floor, while
the younger couples dance around it.
One half of it is then decked with rib
bons and hung aloft, while the other
half is burned. Its ashes are treasured
as remedy for rheumatism and are
sometimes used in making amulets or
charms. The peasants leave for Wodan,
