OCCUPANTS BARELY ESCAPED.
Kerosene Lamp Exploded

$4,000; $3.50 Specie.
OCCUPANTS BARELY ESCAPED.

Northboro, Aug. THE Elm Tree
Inn, one of the most famous hostelries
between Worcester and Boston, was
totally destroyed by fire tonight, to-
gether with it's contents, the occupants
of the building barely escaping with
their lives. The loss is estimated at
$4,000, including $3.50 in specie.
The fire originated in the office of the
hotel and was caused by the explosion
of a kerosene lamp. w. E. Smith, the
landlord Of the inn, went to the office
about 9.25 O'clock tonight to arrange
matters for the night. He had turned
down the wick in an office lamp and
started to lock up for the night.
Mr.. Smith heard loud explosion.
and turning about, saw the blazing
lamp on the Office floor, streams of
burning oil running in every direction.
In jiffy the lower part of the build
ing, which is entirely of wood, was
burning fierceIy.
The house was occupied by Mr..
Smith, his wife, four summer boarders
and Austin Dandurand, a hired man.
Landlord Smith hurriedly warned the
inmates Of the inn, and they barely es-
capped with but few belongings.
The fire spread rapidly to the upper
part Of the house, where trunk was
located, in which Mr.. Smith had $3.50 in
specie stored. The flames prevented
him from reaching this part of the
building, and the money was destroyed.
The Northboro fire department is
some distance from the location of the
Elm Tree inn, and before its arrival the
pretty hostelry on the knoll, familiar
to che eyes of passengers on the MARI
boro road, was in ashes.

suggesting things that ought to be done
to the umpire, with an unkempt, hardy
son of toll, who probably knows no more
about psychology and nature study
than Dan Hurley does about the Tro-

met on a common level and had a fell
