day Morning Under circumstances
Trying to Thetr Tempers.
An alJrm from box 50, corner of Wash
ington and Central streets, brought hur-
red response from the fire department
about 3:15 Tuesday morning. Special
policeman were on duty all night near the
fire alSlm boxes away from the business
centre II tbs village. These officers had
the Aeys tc the boxes, so that no false
alarms could be sounded. Mr.. Dix, who
was on duty on Prospect Hill, concluded
at 3:lC tn2t lis vigil was over, and after
placing the key IN its usual place he re-
turned JOE he had hardly disappeared
before the false alarm was given. Hose
cart No. was taken up South Main street
hill at flying speed, reaching the alarm
box six mirUtes after the alarm was rung
in, and steamer No. 3 and hose cart No.
followed three or four minutes later. A
crowd Of men and more boys also fastened
10 the scene, The first fremen who ar
rived on Washington street asked "Where
q the FREE" and a grinning urchin replied
"Chere, you--fool" at the same time
pointing 20 the smoldering embers of a
a"nlire xhich had been started at mid
night.
The irenlsn were indignant, with good
reason, at being brought out at such an
early hour. They had hard work, as
they exer;ed themselves to the utmost in
getting up Prospect Hill, believing that it
was impossible TO have false alarm
5Oulded, after their chief had taken such
careful precautions to have the boxes
guardei An investigation is in progress
to determine II possible who the culprit
was who pulled in the alarm.

BrattIebOrO Woman's Narrow Escape.
From the Wellsville, N. Y, Daily Reporter of
Inna 3Ol


June 3Ol
Yesterday afternoon team of horses
attached to heavy wagon and belonging
to Henry Howard who lives near Allen
town, became frightened and ran from in
front of Wetherby & Keler's store en-
Pearl street. At this point the team took
to the sidewalk in front of the Lincoln
block, one of the horses falling while the
other dragged it on till they struck the
fence surrounding Jas. Thornton's yard,
when they we're stopped. The team just
missed a moving machine and buggy that
stood in front of Palmer a Richards store,
which saved the horses from being badly
cut.
Mrs. Michael O'Connor of Farnum
street accompanied by Miss Mary Long of
Brattleboro, VT, who is her guest, were in
front of the store when the frightened
horses came tearing down on them and
had a very narrow escape, and the fence
alone saved them from being run down and
trampled upon.
Miss Long has just returned from the
West where she was visiting within few
miles of Richmond, Wis, and had hardly
recovered from the fright of the terrible
cyclone which devasted that town. Her
narrow escape yesterday leads her to be-
lieve that Vermont is the only safe state
to stay In and she will make arrangements
to return home as soon as possible.
