Destructive Fire at NOrthfleld.

NoRTHFIELD, May 15.-Mayo's block, on
the easterly side OF depot square, was burn
ed to the ground early Sunday morning.
The fire was the most destructive that ever
visited this village. Nicholas block and
the NetCS office were in imminent danger at
one time, and had the flames crossed the
street at that point they could not have
been stayed until they reached the railroad
tracks. The Montpelier fire department
was summoned about one o'clock, but a
half hour later telegram was sent saying
their services would not be required
The fire originated in the stone cutters
hall in the upper story of the block, but the
exact cause will never be known. When
discovered by Martin Hanlon the flames
were bursting through the roof. Hanlon
gaue the alarm and rushed to call DR.. W. B
Mayo, the owner OF the building.
The hall in which the fire started was in
the center Of the building. Despite the of.
forts OF the firemen the block was entirely
consumed. 1t was originally known as the
Paine block. When it was purchased about
two years ago by DR.. Mayo it faced on
Main street. DR.. Mayo turned it at right
angles, making it face on King street, and
placed it in thorough repair. Dr. Mayo's
loss on the building is $4,000; insurance
So 900.
The occupants of the block and their
losses are as follows; @. N. Whitmarsh
clothing. His goods were mostly saved
He was insured for $4,000 which more than
covers his loss. William SPEEDING bicy-
cles, confectionery, ETC., carried $500 insur.
ance which fully protects him. f. l.. Car.
dell, jeweler, lost his household goods on
which there was no insurance. Loss 500
s. w Steele, tinsmith, loss $1,000, no in
surance. j. III. Talbot tailor, loss 5000
insurance $500. Kent & Dickey, harness
store, loss not estimated, insurance 5000
The Foresters and Stone Cutters Union
whose hall was in the upper story, los
everything. No insurance.
In the upper story was also Armory hall
the headquarters of Company #. All tht
out of the building at the time, and the
camp equipage was at Norwich University
Most of the property destroyed was old, ant
! was OF such nature that 1t would neve
heve been used again. The fine piano II
the Armory was burned. On this instru
ment was 5000 insurance.

Another Landmark Gone.

William Nelson Peck died Friday even
ing after an illness of five weeks with men.
lDgitis. For the past week or more he has
been unconscious most of the time and for
several days his death has been hourly ex-
pected.
MI. Peck was eighty-seven years old last
September, and until his last fitness he has
been remarkably well for a man of his
years. In fact during his long life he has
rarely been confined to the house by illness.
He was born in Montpelier Septemb Der %,
1911, in the house now standing at the rear
of Trinity church. At the age Of eleven he
went to live with Clark Stevens, grand
father OF the late Thomas b Stevens, in
East Montpelier. He remained there until
he was sixteen, and soon after he commen.
ced to learn the tanners trade. Later he
walked from Montpelier to Boston, where
ne found employ ment as a journey man at
$40 per month. A year later he returned
to Montpelier and worked at his trade
In 1887 he went into business for himself.
with Roswell II. Keith and Daniel s. Thurs.
ton as partners, under the firm name Of
Keith, Thurston & Peck. Mr.. Thurston was
the father of Senator John NJ Thurstop.
of Nebraska. Eight years later Mr.. Thurs
ton retired, and still eight years later A.
T. Keith was admitted to the firm, then
Keith, Peck q Co.
The Vermont watchman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1883-1911, 1899-05-17

In 1857 Mr.. Peck sold his interest in the
business and for five years he lived on the
farm now owned and occupied by n. G. Ia
Dor. In 1868 he formed partnership with
Albert Johonnott and built tannery on
Berlin side. This firm Of Peck & Johonnott
did large business for ten years. In 1874
Mr.. Peck again formed a partnership with
A. o. Cummins and Roswell X. Peck, his
son, under the firm name of Pecks & Cum
minis. They built a tannery up Worcester
branch and their business extended all over
Washington county, and beyond its bor-
ders, In 1887 Mr.. Peck retired from active
business, although for several years he had
the general oversight Of his farming inter
ests in Berlin.
In January. 1888, Mr.. Peck married Julia
Ann Clark of Berlin, of blessed memory.
She died in 1882, and in 1888 Mr.. Peck mar.
ried Mrs. Marosa Penniman, widow of Am
brose Penniman OF Barre, who survives
him. He also leaves three sons, George A.
Roswell K, and John W., all well known
business men Of Montpelier
During his long and busy life Mr.. Peck
has been an uncompromisiDg democrat, and
the honesty and sincerity of his convictions,
coupled with his forcible manner of express
ing them, commanded the highest respect
of those who were politically opposed to
him. He believed in the democratic party
first, last and all the time, and exemplfed
his belief in his actions. In business he
was splendid example OF rugged honesty
aud integrity in dealings large or small
His word needed no bond behind it. He
detested all forms of deceit and sham, but
real worth and an honest purpose always
found in him a strong friend,
A gentleman long associated in business
with Mr.. Peck has truthfully said of him
that he lived more closely to the golden rule
and practiced it more fully than any man
he ever knew,
Mr.. Peck was one of the last of the "New
England Bygones" of which Montpelier
could boast so many only few years ago.
His life long residence in Montpelier made
OF him walking encyclopedia regarding
the early history Of the town, and news
paper reporters will long gratefully remem-
ber him for the information he has so often
freely impaired to them. His memory will
be tenderly cherished for many years To
come. He has left to those who come after
him the priceless heritage Of an untarnish-
ed name.
His funeral was held on Sunday after
noon at two o'clock from his late home,
corner First Avenue aud Hubbard street.
Rev. DR.. A. L. Cooper ot Randolph, a life
long friend of tie family, officated
The bearers will be- j. G. Farwel, G. L.
Smith, j. B. Morse and A. o. Cummins
The burial was in Green Mount cemetery.

Trouble at Nicholas Block.

Monday evening about $3.50 o'clock,
Health Officer w. II. Hardness was hastily
summoned to the Nicholas block by Massa
Dobey. Upon arriving there he was nearly
taken off his feet by the announcement by
Mrs. Dobey that the wife and daughter OF
Myron Hill were trying to get rid of the
Dobeys by using paris green. Mrs. Dobey
told the officer that she saw Mrs. Hill and
her daughter put about two pounds OF the
poison into the little brook formed by the
waste water from the spring near the build
ing from which the families obtained their
drinking water.
She also feared that some had been put in
the spring itself. She attributed the mo-
tive to a feud that exists between the two
families. DIR. Hardness examined the
