ONLY SCARLETINA.
First Reports from Randolph Greatly
Exaggerated. Only Four Cases.
Especial to TELEGRAM.)

Randolph, Nov. 16.-The scarlet
fever scare like all such scarcs was
greatly exaggerated by street rumors I.
1t appears that a McCollum girl was
taken ill some three weeks ago, with
scarletina, ina very mild form, brought
from GaySville. The house was prompt
ly quarantined. Since then there have
been only two or three cases, till the
the Bruce boy was taken i'll in school
seven days ago. AS many of the par
ents were keeping their children from
school as a precautionary measure, the
committee thought it wise to close
the schools. They will open again
next Monday unless there is a decided
ly worse change in the situation.
There are only four authentic cases in
the village now all of very mild form
of scarletina and they are all properly
issolated. The physicians claim that
the Bruce boy could not give the
disease when he was taken i'll, and as
no new cases have occurred and the
time is nearly up that he could give
it, no fear is felt that it will spread.

LARGEST IN VERMONT.
The Tannery of G. G. Warren at
Waterbury Burned Yesterday.

Waterbury, Nov. 16.-The large
'tanncry buildings owned by G. G.
Warren, were burned to the ground
Early yesterday. The fire was discov-
'cred by the night Waterman about
quarter past three, and he at once
aroused the engineer, thinking they
could eXtinguish the fire without any
other aid from the fire department.
When they returned to the building
it was in sheet of flames and finding
their efforts would be useless, the
watchman endeavored to enter the en-
gine room to give an alarm by the
large steam whistle, but found it i'm
possible on account of the fire which
had very rapidly spread over the
building.
The first of the hose company from
the street were w. M. Gibbs, viii
Atherton and viii Lovely, who drew
the hose cart to the building about
one mile, unaided, and had stream
on the building very soon after the
hose company at Mill Village, which
was stationed very near the buildings.
The hose company worked until about
8 O'Clock. The alarm was given about
half past three: The building and
machinery and all the skins except
those in the watts were entirely de-
stroyed. The loss will amount to
about $4,000 but was fully insured.
Mr.. Warren refuses to talk in regard
to the loss, amount of insurance OF
about rebuilding. Olin King was
quite badly burned about the face,
while attempting to save the build
ing.
The house near the tannery and all
the bark on the outside of the build.
ings was saved.
1t is thought that the fire was
caused by spontaneous combustion.

CESSATION OF HOSTILITIES.
But the Samoans Would Rather Keep On
Thrashing the Rebel Leader and
His Followers.

Auckland, N. H., May 4.-Advices re-
ceived from Apia, Samoa, to April 27
stated that the rebel loss by shelling the
Mataafan stronghold of Vaiima by war
ships was quite heavy. Many rebels
were wounded. The house in which
the late Robert Louis Stevenson lived
was riddled with shell. The New Zea.
land government steamer Tutanedai ar
rived at Apia with dispatches announc-
ing the request of the international
commissioners to the inhabitants to
peacefully await the arrival of commits
sioners now on the way to the islands
from San Francisco.
A meeting of consuls was held, but
without result. Admiral Kautz and
Captain Stuart ordered Mataafa to with
draw his forces outside of line ten
miles long and six miles broad. He did
so. The majority of the Inhabitants are
satisfied with the cessation of hostil-
tiles. They say that Mataafa is beaten
now and that the trouble will be all end
ed in week or ten days if the advant-
ages gained were pushed. A statement
by the German minister of foreign af-
fairs that Mataafa was unanimously
elected king is denounced at Samoa.
KAUTz REPORTS.
Washington, May 4.-The following
cablegram just been received at the Navy
from Admiral d. Kautz:
Auckland May subdated Apia. April
97.-''All quiet at Apia. Mataafa and
chief agreed to keep outside of the lines
prescribed by the British senior officer
present. Until the commission acts
there will be no more fighting. Kautz."
The cablegram was mutilated in trans
mission. 1t plainly confirms the press
report that truce has been agreed
upon and there will be no more hostili-
ties pending a conclusion by the com
mission.

Steel Companies Getting Together, But Not

Cleveland, Ohio, May 4.-The execu-

Iron Trade Review: There is no truth
in the story CT the consolidation of the

Steel Company will be actually con-
solidated with any other steel company.
However, close trade relations between
the Carnegie Steel Company and Nation
al Steel Company, American Tin Plate
Company and American Steel Hoop
Company may result from negotiations
put under way with In the past week. .
