NEW HAMPSHIRE NOTES.
Hotel CIsremont Damaged by Fir,


Fire broke out in the attic of the Hotel
Claremont at Claremont about o'clock
Wednesday morning, and it was not eX-
tinguished until nearly two hours later
There was long delay in fighting the
fire, the men not being directed efficiently.
The blaze was discovered by Harry Adkins,
the night clerk. Mr.. Billiard of Boston,
one of the first guests aroused, went to the
attic and attempted to fight the fire with an
ulster. He was nearly overcome by the
smoke and severely burned. The other
guests escaped uninjured, and carried out
their personal effects. The fire ate its
way down to the third floor of the centre
section. Many believed the hotel would
be entirely destroyed, but the brick walls
did much to hold the flames in check.
There was $4,000 insurance on the furni-
ture of the hotel and the limit on the
building was $4,000. The amount of the
loss is not known. Mr.. Moody owned the
building and the hotel was run by f. G,
Camp. Temporary repairs are being made
and business will be resumed in the hote
in a few days. The goods in the severa
stores on the first floor were damaged by
water.

Petitions for adjudication of damage:
have been filed in the supreme judicia
court for Hampden county by both the
city of Bolyoke and the Holyoke Water
Power company as the result Of disagree

the last municipal election to go into the
gas and electric light business, and the

dered its property under the terms of the
municipal lighting act for the sum of 81,
$1,000, plus S24,750 per annum for mill

each party has asked the court to fix dam
ages. 1t is expected that this will be the
most important lighting case yet tried in
the commonwealth, and that among the
results of it will be a final determination
by the supreme court of the various ques-
tions of law presented by the municipal
lighting act of 1891 and its various amend

young doctor studied the specially in his
profession in which he has since made a
reputation Two boys were born to Mr..
and Mrs Burnett. One of their boys died
in 1890, and the sorrow of the mother
seems almost as deep as on the day of the
sad occurrence. The other boy, said to be

author had in mind when she wrote the
story, is student at Harvard Mrs. Bur

Near the close of the second days battle
at Gettysburg, Col. Veazey's regiment was
in the thickest of the fight between the
corps of Gen Sickles and that of the rebe els
under Gen Longstreet.
At the conclusion of that days battle he
was appointed division field officer of the
day, and during that memorable night had
charge of the picket line, which was posted
from the village of Gettysburg to the left
toward Round Top, directly across the field
where Sickles and Longstreet had fought
the preceding day.
On the thin and last day of that decisive
conflict, Col. Veazey and his regiment oc-
supied position in front of the left centre
and conducted themselves with a heroic
gallantry that covered them with glory.
Holding so advanced a post they received
the first shock of the famous charge made
by Pickett's division of Longstreet's corps.
The assailants were mainly veteran Nir-
ginians who had not thus far been engaged.
1t was a tremendous attack, and only sue
cessfully resisted by the granite frmness
of STANDARDS Vermont brigade.
The 18th and 10th Vermont regiments
were ordered to strike the flank Of the
resolute and advancing enemy at the criti-
cal moment, and did it so effectively that
Pickett's splendid column crumbled beneath
the crushing weight of the blow and retired
with the loss of half that gallant division.
Col Veazey's fearless leadership contribut-
ed largely to the success of this historic
flank assault, which decided the result of
the pivotal battle of Gettysburg. He had
an even more prominent share in the re-
pulse of the final confederate attack made
by Wilcox's and Perry's brigades under
Wilcox. Facing his regiment about, and
marching back across the field under heavy
artillery fire. Col. Veazey's struck Wicox's
flank in a resistless charge, and, rapidly
following up the advantage, captured two
stands of colors and many hundreds OF
prisoners, and stopped only when the con
federate brigade had wholly melted away
Col Veazey's conduct in this battle won
him national reputation, and secured hin
a medal of honor for distinguished gallantry
under resolution of Congress. 1t is said
that Col. Veazey was offered a brigadier
ship if he would remain in the service, but
he was compelled to retire ON account OF
impaired health.

Two Men sunoea,ed mt chicopee.

Kasimir Obara and Szymon Galuszka,
two Poles, were found dead in bed Sunday
morning in the parochial residence con-
nected with the Independent Polish Cath
Ollie church Of Chicopee. 1t is supposed
the men were intoxicated when they went
to bed and carelessly built a fire in the hot
air furnace in the cellar. They left the
register in the room open, and the coal gas
and hot air came up in such quantities
that they probably died within an hour af-
ter retiring, Obara was the household SER
want of the pastor, and Galuszka was a
friend who was spending the evening with
him.

A Peaceful Solution Of the Maine
Affair Seems in Sight

San Francisco, Feb. 2I.-The war
clouds which have lowered above the
country seem in a fair way to clear.
Everything now points to an amiable
settlement by arbitration. If this is done
it will probably be on a money basis.
If the Maine was destroyed without the
knowledge of the Spanish authoritiee or
their cOnnivance it would not be a cause
for war, but the fact that a Government
pilot selected the berth where she was to
lie would cut a figure in asking indem-
nifty.
If the destruction of the ship was
caused by a torpedo which formed a part
of the harbor defense, there would be a
claim for damages. 1t is thought the
amount asked for will be five millions
for the loss of the ship and several mil
mions more for the families of the killed
and wounded.

Miss Mabel Stanaway:" Nearly every seat
IN the Congregational Chapel was occu-
pied last Tuesday evening at the Union
Endeavor meeting. Miss Mabel Stanaway
an apt pupil of the New England Conser-
vatory of Music, sang two selections,
which were greately enjoyed, Our King,
by Rotoli, and But the Lord Is Mindful
Of His Own by Mendelssohn. Miss
S~tanaway, whose home is in Reno, Ne

the singing, and the meeting was a grand
success from the start" Miss Stanaway
is now spending her vacation at the
