BuRLINeToN's BIG FIRE.
Great Lumber Plant ST a Boston Firm
Burned, Besides Other Property


Burlington, VT, Dec. 24.-The great
lumber plant of the Shepard & Morse
Lumber Company of Boston, covering
II acres and containing 1000, 900 feet of
lumber, together with a planning mill,
eight sheds and large quantity of ma
chinery, was completely destroyed by
fire this morning and, besides causing
a loss to the firm of over quarter of a
million dollars. This will be one of the
severest blows that the industries in
this city have sustained for a number
of years.
The firemen had the greatest difficult
ty in checking the flames, which threat
ened at one time to extend to the other
large lumber yards and in spite of their
efforts four dwelling houses outside the
yard were burned and half dozen
families made homeless.
The fire will throw out of employment
over 100 men, and it is believed tonight
that the company will not rebuild it's
plant. The fire was discovered about 8
Waterman who saw the flames shooting
out of a shed in the southwestern cor
ner of the yeard. He Immediately gave
the alarm and the fire department res
pended promptly but the flames, urged
on by the southerly wind, swept
through the yard with great rapidity
and drove the firemen tack to Cottage
street. where a desperate stand was
made At this point was the great
building of the Lake Champlain divi-
sion of the Central Vermont railroad.
and beyond were a number of other
lumber mills.
The firemen made a great fight, and
succeeded in checking the flames and
by noon the fire had burned itself out,
AS soon as possible after the fire had
been gotten under control an investi-
cation was made as to the probable
cause, and as a result the police ar
rested this afternoon Clement Hurley.

on suspicion.
1t appears that near where the fires
started a large number of persons were
condoling with the relatives Of Julia
Dion who had recently died, and three
men who We're arrested We're among
the party, The fire extended to the
house where the gathering was being
held and the occupants narrowly es-
capped with their lives, and only sue
ceeded in saving the body of Miss Dion
by rapid work.
Lumber Company in Boston was noti-
fed of the fire early this morning, and
Horace B. Shepard, the treasurer of the
company, arrived in this city this af-
ternoon. Mr.. Shepard estimates the
loss at fully $250,000, on which there is
insurance of $104, 800.
The fire will have a material effect
upon the lumber business here, which
has been decreasing ever since another
portion of the lumber district was de-
stroyed four years ago.

HISTORIC KNIFE FOUND.
It Was secreted by One of Morgan's
Raiders in Prison From Which Escape
Mas MAZDA

was WAGE.
Columbus, O.. Dec. 24.-Oflcials of
the penitentiary today succeeded in
finding a knife that was probably Sc
GREETED by Thomas w. Bullet of Louis
vile, KY, who was one of the Morgan
raiders. He was Imprisoned with the
famous confederate during the civil
war and was one of the number to es-
cape. Mr. Bullet recently told how
and where he had secreted the knife,
and expressed the belief that it was
still in the place, where he put it years
ago. 1t was said that the knife was
one of IA which the prisoners Of war
had made which was hidden when the
fact Of their possession was exposed.
The place of concealment was said to
have been in an air shaft used as a
ventilator, and after persistent search,
it was found at the bottom, where it
had dropped since the raiders left the
prison. 1t was rust eaten and the han
die of wood had nearly rotted away A
second knife was also found in the tun-
mel. The discovery is of especial inter-
est, since it settled a much mooted
point-the means Of escape of the pris-
oners The most Of the prison officials
believe that the FIRST knife is the one
discovered by Mr.. Bullet, and if that
be true, it proves beyond question that
the Morgan raiders made their escape,
as has always been claimed by the
tunnel route and not by the aid or con-
nivance of any prison officials
This point is given emphasis, too, by
the fact as stated by Mr.. Bullet, that
the raiders took no stock in Warden
Marion, in fact, dlsliked him. but he
was anxious that the truth should be
known, for the truth Of history and in
order to relieve the wardens memory
of any odium that might have attached
to it by reason Of the escape of Gen.

THE victory of Acting Rear Admiral
George Dewey over the fleet of the Span
ish warsl,ips at the bate OF Manila was
greater, more complete and more bril-
liant than the American people dared
hope. Though the superb achievement
Of the American arms approaches the
field Of miracles, yet the conquest can
not be attributed in any degree to luck
1t stands out pre-eminently as a triumph
of mind, victory for concerted intelli-
gence and preparation for emergency.
In the American triumph can be seen the
grand result and ultimate perfection of
cooperation and equal apportionment of
duties. Each man of the American
squadron had his specific duty-he did
it, and was inspired to its successful per-
Torrance by the thorough knowledge
that with equal fidelity every other man
on the fleet was CALAMITY supporting
Ahim in the exercise Of the other duties.

Ir is only natural that the supporters
of the policy Of leprosy and loot i'll
Hawaii should attempt to secure their
untcnabe position by appealing to a
policy of annexation and spoliation in
the Philippines and Porto Rico. They
argue that We wat to annex Hawaii in
order to secure he Philippines and that
we ought to annex the Philippines in
order to protect Hawaii. This vicious
argument has been seriously put forward
as having some validity, when the real
situation is that the Government does
not want Hawaii under any circumstances
nor the Philippines, except as indemnity
for the cost of the war, any more than it
wants Hawaii.
